The GOP may have created the program, but Obama slammed through a nice payoff to a supporter.

I see. Everything bad that Bush was doing has been continued by the Marxist. That is the definition of "hope & change."
You Lefty's ( Finn, you get a pass on this one) have a funny way of looking at things.
I guess the good thing is that you will all bend over and grab your ankles when he gives up, sells out, and says we need tax cuts again.

It's soooo simple Dave. The GOP refused to give the loan guaruntee because of Solyndra's financial condition....

And your boy did. Timing has nothing to do with it.
