Francis, I know you've got a desperate, desperate, aching, 'call your doctor it's lasted more than four hours' hard-on to GET Obama, but you're going to be waiting a long, long time. This doesn't even rise to the level of Travel-gate on the scale of things...The loan was vetted by the agencies involved, promoted by TWO administrations, investors on the project donated as much or more to Republican causes as Democrats, and ultimately, the company went under because their product was not cheap enough to compete with conventional solar technology by the time they got into production.
