Officials at solar power technology company Solyndra Inc. repeatedly gave false or misleading information to the Department of Energy (DOE) to get the loan guarantee that resulted in widespread condemnation of the Obama administration, an investigation found.

The report released Wednesday is most in-depth probe into the Solyndra scandal, which became a popular talking point to criticize President Obama’s green policies when the company went belly-up in 2011, just in time for the 2012 presidential election.

The DOE’s Office of Inspector General said that Solyndra leaders engaged in a “pattern of false and misleading assertions and statements” both to government employees considering and monitoring its $535 million loan guarantee and to Congress.

The 13-page report outlines the results of a joint investigation the office completed with the FBI.

Hell, Obama invested $500 million of tax payer money in Solyndra via his stimulus package and that company filed bankruptcy. Talk about using other people's money and then declaring bankruptcy.
Obama didn't invest anything in Solyndra. It was a Department of Energy loan that was initiated by Bush and completed in 2009.

Nice try, though. Add it to the list of other fake scandals...fast and furious, Benghazi, etc.
So anyways. Here's the lie or the lack of fact.

The D.O.E. (Out of control bureaucracy under DemoNazi control in the wacko leftist Pelosi years) pushed through legislation not approved by Bush. Not unusual in the last 2 years of the DemoNazi controlled congress. The last congress to even pretend to write law. Since then we have been under the new dictatorship. Executive orders from Rome. Solyndra and fast and furious are mutated and cancerous evolutions from a kinder and gentler ideal. Beuracracy on steriods. Contaminated ideology from the failed history of every system ever invented or pursued by mankind.

Only the Island we call America and the filter we know as the Constitution can protect us from the onslaught we recognize as the world and the events ever-changing and swirling around us. At times…out of our control. We must first recognize and embrace our familial ties before we cut the ties that bind. Severance occurs in an instant. Healing takes time.

I choose to stay on the Island. And I will defend it.

Cruz is going to sink his own ship. Between the Carson 'mistake' announcement where he withdrew from the campaign right before the IA caucuses, the robocalling Trump called him out for in Saturday's debate, now the Photoshop of Rubio with Obama on his website that Rubio is calling out today and a spanish recording by a voter in SC that was robocalled by the Cruz campaign which makes it sound like Rubio supports amnesty. There is too much coincidence here... And like Trump has been saying all along - Cruz is a dirty, dishonest man.

According to a new VPR Poll, an overwhelming number of Vermonters say they plan to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders in the state's Democratic presidential primary on Town Meeting Day. The poll also shows that Republican Donald Trump holds a two-to-one margin over several of his competitors in the GOP primary.

It shouldn't come as a great surprise that Sen. Sanders is leading former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in his home state. But the size of his lead is a surprise to some political observers. In the VPR Poll, Sanders led Clinton by 78 percent to 13 percent of likely voters in the Democratic primary.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump led the GOP field with roughly 33 percent of the vote, followed by Marco Rubio and John Kasich at 14 percent each. Clark isn't surprised by Trump's popularity in Vermont.
