Wallace is asking Schultz about Obama and Solyndra, and at no point does she come close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.  She is a great spokesperson for the conservative movement.  With all of the nonsense she spouts out people can't help but to seriously consider her opposing viewpoint.

The DNC Chair tried to persuade Wallace that Obama was not responsible for the failed Solyndra venture because he wasn't their CEO.  However, Mitt Romney is of course to blame for the companies that went under during his time at Bain.

Remember when Obama tried to take credit for Solyndra as being the greatest success story of the Recovery Act?  Once their inevitable bankruptcy arrived after creating a product with no market demand whatsoever, Obama has nothing to do with it.  What a tangled web we weave Debbie...

Speaking of Debbie Wasserman-Shultz...Henry Scanlon · Jan. 8 at 11:11am

I was working with Allen West in 2010 while he was making his successful run for Congress.  Allen had an extremely tough fight.  The district was very democratic.  Physically extremely elongated (gerrymandering), the 22nd Congressional District of Florida was a bitch to cover.  The old line Jewish democrats still can't figure out that the democratic party has been nuts since Carter.  They remember Harry Truman and Jack Kennedy.  Meanwhile, worst of all, Allen had lost 2 years before to a very Jewish looking guy with a very Jewish name, Ron Klein.   A big plus in south florida.  Incredibly, in 2008 with the Obama sunami and Allen being outspent 4 to 1 Allen came close.  Allen was taking nothing for granted. 

I would describe Ron Klein to you as a political magician.  He could make the disastrous policies of Obama, including his grotesque anti-Israel attitude, sound like sweetness and light.  Truly he could perform political magic and make pure garbage appear as gold. (cont.)

In the midst of this tough uphill fight for Allen.  Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is from another district, stages a phoney demonstration.  Her claims against Allen were ridiculous and no one came to the rally, staged outside of Allen's HQ in Boca, except her own staff members.  One reporter with one camera man was covering this ridiculous charade.  I was there at HQ and saw this.  I told Allen and called Joyce Kaufman with the right response.  We should issue a thank you to Debbie Wasserman Schultz as that day we got 200 new volunteers for the campaign.  This was the actual truth.  The HQ phone was ringing off the hook!

Chris Wallace has demonstrated for Romney how to flip the coming attacks on Bain by Obama, should Romney win.

It isn't so hopeless afterall.

I always enjoy it when the person being interrogated doesn't even understand how badly she's being taken apart. She kept trying to retreat to her Mitt Romney talking points, but Wallace was busy cutting off her retreat lines. Lovely, actually.

Yes, and in Obama's case it was even worse. Romney was trying to help turnaround struggling companies by putting money in them and working to ensure they succeed. That's what people with private capital at risk do.

Obama was just showering cash on a company because he liked what it did, not because it had a snowball's chance of being successful. That's what people with other people's money at risk (i.e., the taxpayers) do.

I admire her tenacity.  It takes a particular kind of single-mindedness to evade a persistent series of questions with such idiotic non-sequiturs -- most people would have too much shame to carry it off.

I disagree.  Investors who take over companies do so to release value.  Sometimes that means putting money into them and working to make them more successful as going concerns.  Sometimes that means disassembling them, shuttering or selling parts that don't fit and restructuring new, healthier companies from the parts they keep.

Very often it is the case that the founders or current managers of a company have been reluctant to do what's necessary to maximize the value of the assets they control.  Sometimes it's simply a matter of "we've always done it this way," and sometimes it's part of a struggle to stave off downsizing out of a sense of loyalty to the current employees or management (or both).  The value of a dispassionate outsider is that he's willing to make painful changes that cut out inefficiencies.  Sometime that makes the company newly competitive and grows it;  sometimes the company dies.

The facts never deter a creature like Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  Blind ideology can not recognize when the floor has fallen out from under it.  Gd is good!

I almost feel sorry for Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She is punching so far above her weight-class as DNC chairwoman and her inability to communicate a plausible or even coherent message makes her a national joke. I would hesitate to make this lady as a precinct committewoman, let alone a national chair.

DWS is not a gift to us, she is one of our ten most effective opponents. It isn't shamelessness, it's a tactic, and it works.

Y'all do not appreciate what we're up against. To the left, DWS is a genius, a great leader, a refuge of sanity and comfort. These people believe, that is what they do and who they are. If you think reason and logic have any relevance in their world, you are sadly mistaken.

The real left is mentally ill; until we face that we'll continue to waste effort on an enemy (almost typed "enema", it's getting late) that scarcely exists.

Let's see how sorry you feel when she's re-elected and Obama takes Florida.

I think I see the issue here. Bain invests in or buys out viable companies with the expectation that they will see a return on their investment. Part of this process may require some or all people in those companies to lose their jobs. The government in this case under the Obama administration gave money to a non viable company (Solyndra) under the legal fiction of a loan with little or no expectation of payback as a political gift to allies. I doubt that the continued employment of the workers figured into this decision in any real way. DWS understands this and is confused by CW comparison since from her point of view there is nothing to compare.

Fake, aren't you still being too generous.  Romney is doing what he is supposed to be doing.  Obama is committing fraud and misappropriating taxpayer dollars.

Mitt diserves a sexy interview in Forbes about how he emotionally handles firing people. I wouldn't mind if a really good looking female reporter did the interview.  This would make it more interesting for me.  Not that Mitt's personal angst isn't just terribly exciting but I would probably need a cup of coffee to get through watching this.

Obama deserves to be impeached!!!

John, I suppose that I am being generous. I just think calling people names and accusing them of things they do not think they have done does not help the situation much. I prefer to figure out their motives and perspectives in order to get a better picture of what happened and why it happened. This allows me to verify if my own thoughts are correct or if I missed something in my logic. Also if I am arguing against or for something I prefer to know as much as possible about it.
