I admire your openness - I understand coming out is a most personal of choices... I wish you well in
dealing with possible ramifications - I trust there will be none... that enlightened thinking and views will prevail.

Are you trying to be witty?

I didn't realize how deeply Obama was involved. Thanks for posting facts , shady. Too bad many won't accept truth.

As much as I don't like Obama and these kinds of favors, the fact is that they are rife on both sides. Look at GWB's relationship with Archer-Daniels-Midland.

I am looking forward to the day when I will be able to shake the shackles of the evil GASOLINE and ride my car from Winnipeg to Toronto to visit my son, at 25 km/hour in my solar panel equipped car. And hoping for a sunny day.

All will be good. All will be copacetic. All will be CO2 free.

Who needs CO2 anyways?

Just ask the plants. They have more brains than Al Gore.

Just ask the plants.

I would prefer to ask a human cause I won't get an answer by asking a plant.

Anyway, C02 and its impact on plants is part of the raging global warming debate. So I don't expect to get the truth in my lifetime.

Oh oh. Looks like more shenanigans.

Solyndra's lobbying not disclosed by DOE under stimulus guidelines

The Energy Department has not disclosed any lobbying by the embattled solar energy company Solyndra, despite its K Street firm indicating it had contacted the department regarding the stimulus package.

Under a policy first issued by the White House in 2009, federal agencies were required to disclose lobbying for stimulus funds. McBee Strategic Consulting, a lobby firm then under contract with Solyndra, said it had contacted the Energy Department in the first and third quarters of 2009 regarding the Recovery Act, according to records filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA).


Yet a review by The Hill of the more than 40 lobbyist contact disclosure forms regarding the stimulus posted online by the Energy Department reveals no contact between the department and Solyndra's lobbyists.

At least not a truth you'd be willing to agree with.

Although they are both guilty of crony capitalism to a degree, Obama was supposed to straighten all that out. Hope, change, transparency and all that. Turns out he's worse and America jumped form the frying pan into the Chicago firepit.

With Obama in office and a democrat controlled senate and congress who needs to lobby. It's just a matter of picking up the check.

you might! But more than likely other issues will become more pressing and it will just fade into the netherland or morph into something more alarmist as these things so predictably do.

The Republicans control congress, and questions don't end with a period.

I don't blame him too much. He's just used to reading from liberal blogs, that tell him what to say in defense of Dear Leader.

Yes, I guess it was stupid of him to say congress and the senate. But you really consider Harper to be Dear Leader?
