Denied by the DOE. Not the administration.

As soon as Obama took office, his administration reversed the denial of the loan and put the ill-advised loan,

No, they did not. Solyndra was still in the process of submitting additional documents, and the administration had to wait until DOE got those additional documents - which had fake information submitted by Solyndra - for the approval to go through.
The administration had to wait on DOE. DOE approved the loan based upon the merits of the application - which Solyndra lied upon to get the loan.

which had thrown up many red flags that the Bush administration caught but the Obama administration ignored, on a fast-track to receive the same loan that the Bush administration denied days before.

No. The above is only the false coloring of the anti-Obama conspiracy theorists. The regular, lifetime government workers in the DOE caught the red flags during the Bush administration, and approved the loan based upon the falsified documents under the Obama administration. The executive branch does not approve these loans.

The change of administrations was merely coincidental, not the massive conspiracy you and others believe.

Do you know who George Kaiser is?

Yes, he was one of the stockholders of Solyndra. Can you name the other, major Republican stockholders of Solyndra? Aside from the Walton Family? Why do you ignore that the majority ownership of Solyndra were big money Republican donors?

Can you see why the "Obama Solyndra Scandal" has only taken hold within the Obama Derangement Syndrome folks? Because the accusation of "scandal" doesn't stand up to any superficially intelligent review of the facts surrounding the case. Which everyone else figured out as soon as the alleged "scandal" was first revealed. But that never stops a dedicated wingnut.

No, he's Democratic and contributed to Obama's campaign, while other shareholders of Solyndra, the majority, happen to be Republican and contributed to Bush. Stop ignoring that.

Unfortunately, while both administrations wanted to capitalize on the publicity of a loan to a promising upstart solar energy company, Solyndra lied on the documentation to get the loan. The loan was first disproved, not by "Bush", but by the regular workers in the DOE, and the loan was subsequently approved, not by "Obama", but by those same regular workers in the DOE. Unfortunately Solyndra faces penalty for lying to the government to get the loan approved.

Stop with the "Solyndra is an Obama Scandal!" That's as ridiculous and false as "he's a Muslim Kenyan!", and everyone else in the world knows it.

No thanks. You and Uncle Joe go ahead and explain that to us.

Although, if you refuse to acknowledge the obvious roaring success of the administration betting on the American auto industry, you can't really ignore that while trying to also blame the administration for any failures in the Green energy industry.

But I know that won't stop some :-)

IF these companies were going to succeed and had proper business plans and forecasts, they would not need gov't loans. Private investors would be footing the bill.

You are kidding right?
GM and Chrysler are not doing well at all, despite what you might have read. Ford is reasonably solid thanks to new models and a killer ad-campaign.
