Occupy Atlanta looks a little creepy:

Saw a lot of video of similar 'routines' in New York too. I f I were in the protests, I would bail so fast if this was going on around me during the downtimes. Not exactly the route I would take if I were rallying the troops.

Solyndra was one failure in a very successful (or so I've heard) loan guarantee program. No loan guarantee program has a 100% success rate.

Solyndra was considered a risk from day one. This is what happens when they feed your campaign. You end up giving them taxpayer dollars that they will never pay back. This one is on the Obama Administration.
 
Former chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, Skull and Bones connections through Pillsbury, what do you expect? That's the reason I would never vote for him.
 
Occupy Atlanta seems to be being carried out by a bunch of kindergarten teachers.

yes. And that whole chant/repeat everything said routine seemed to have the mesmerizing effect of Sesame Street, while the organizational method of didactedly asserting everyone should have and "equal" right to be heard was used to exclude the Congressman from being heard just because someone objected that he was claiming to be "more special" than others somehow. Orwellian doublespeak. . . . .
 
The hand jiggle thing is too much, I crack up every time when I re-watch it and he introduces that method of communication to the crowd.

If there wasn't a risk, they would not need loan guarantees. If you want to argue that Solyndra was more risky than compnay X, and X did not get a loan guarantee (or gtot one that was smaller than it wanted/needed), that would be a valid point. Can you make that argument?

Some interesting info on Solyndra and the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

While it would be unfair to judge a 50 billion dollar program based on one failed project, I think the fact that this company went through almost 530 million dollars in taxpayer money in 2 years and then promptly declared bankruptcy warrants at least some investigation.
 
Anyone remember the office episode in season 3, when they're going to shut down the Scranton branch and then end up reversing this decision? Remember how Michael isn't supposed to tell anyone until the deal is final? Of course, he ends up spilling the beans to everyone by saying, "It is over, we're screwed!"

That's kinda how I feel....
 
'I support the message to the establishment, whether it's Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest, that change has to happen'
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi

Pelosi is the establishment. If she thinks that she will escape the hippy rath she's even dumber than I thought.

Hence the Occupy problem. The Washington clan is more than happy to watch the movement from a far like it is some reality show and let everybody in the movements cross hair take the heat. Either the movement is avoiding Washington by design due to the fact that the large majority of them voted for the current leadership or they are just too dumb to really believe that protesting the crack dealers will actually accomplish something. This will largely fizzle out unless they are willing to take it to Washington and get cracked over the skull by riot police. If that happens than you got yourself a protest.
 
Anybody here that can relate to Jacobin mob? I'm thinking that's the sort of crowd that operated the guillotine in France during the French Revolution. Here's what an American with significant comprehension of political movements seems to be thinking:

The idea that the Occupy Wall Street movement has no direction and no demands is a damned lie that has to be dispelled now. That lie is being picked up by a motley crew of dangerous opportunists who hope to guide the movement in the direction of: a.) a Jacobin mob, b.) a replay of the Seattle WTC riots, c.) Obama-ton populist foot soldiers, d.) a raving crowd of Green fascists, or e.) all of the above. LaRouchePAC's intelligence team is presently pulling together the raw material on their machinations--so, keep your quarters ready folks, it's a real freak show.

I would like to argue that the government shouldn't be in the business of picking winners and losers in the private sector. Nobody should be getting loans from the government. If even Bush's advisers thought that the government shouldn't give them this loan then why was Obama and company so fast to give it? Obviously it was an attempt to prop up a green company. The problem is that going green for many people is not financially viable.
