Yeah. And you might go back and look at that time in the Bush administration trying to rush that loan guarantee through without vetting before Obama was elected, with help from Republican donors.

No, better to try and create political drama where little exists! Even though Solandra was going belly up a year ago.

The worse that happened here was yeah, the government gave money to a company that lost it. You know, like we've done before? Boeing ring a bell? The capitalist free market - it sucks when it's a real company, and not a money-making set-up like many of the Wall Street stock manipulations that pass for "business" today.
