We Have A Winner! And We Are All the Losers
Okay, grab your Prozac. This is depressing. Robert Kennedy's "green" company Brightsource received a taxpayer bailout of 1.4 BILLION. Yes, that's BILLION. Which makes the rest of these guys just seem like chumps:
Ron Perelman only received only $434 million in a no-bid contract for a questionable small pox vaccine.
Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law only received $747 million in Fed funds for his solar energy company.
And of course Solyndra only ate up $528 million of our tax dollars, but it was on the verge of a bail-out when it went belly-up, so it could have gone higher.
And these are just the stories the MSM is being FORCED to cover. Do you remember anything as corrupt in the Bush years? The Reagan years? Even the Clinton years? All those politicians staying in their cushy offices, all those executives still getting their bonuses, all those wealthy investors being subsidized with our money. And we're being asked to pay more in taxes?! Obama has been subpoenaed for Solyndra and I see 2012 bumper stickers in my neighborhood popping up. How are we going to wake up America?!

See also the Congressional Insider Trading. I have a sense that when it comes right down to it, Americans left and right will always unite against this sort of cronyism and corruption. It's this sense that keeps me hopeful for the future.
If ever there was a time for Congressional Term Limits, the time is now. (Well, the time was actually 40 years ago, but I'll take now.)

Re: We Have A Winner! And We Are All the Losers
I'll agree with you on Reagan and Clinton... Bush 43 and "his" Congresses spread around plenty of cake during their spending spree.
However, Obama and his gang have made corruption a core competence of his White House.

What would happen if Robert Kennedy ended up getting non-lethally tarred and feathered (glue and feathers) with a Youtube video of it to boot?
Think that one would go viral?
It might just send the right message that needs to be sent to these people today.

This is nothing compared to the possibility that someone inside the Bush White House possibly leaked the name of a possibly covert CIA agent and possibly lied about it, possibly putting said agent in jeopardy.
I wonder who will play Biden in the Hollywood thriller based on the Solyndra scandal?

Bring back Richard Nixon. All is forgiven.

Especially since it was Richard Armitage via the State Dept. rather than Scooter Libby or anyone in the White House.

Leonardo Dicaprio, or Ashton Kutcher.

A former colleague described the basic technology of a pioneering solar-thermal pilot-plant almost 30 years ago. Don't let RFK, Jr. get involved in hiring the contractors and it should be O.K. Also, I believe that that there is a lot of current Israeli technology involved.
Go to the Brightsource web site and watch RFK, Jr. lie about coal in a 2009 CNN video. What a jerk.

This is the big lie costing every man women and child more then just big dollars but literally crippling the quality of their lives. We should throw this in their face every chance we get.

Wow! Pelosi's brother in law is a cheap date. He'll probably be laughed out of the family.
