Solyndra had nothing to do with energy pursuit and all to do with the profit and political objectives of a very small group of people. Let's even give Obama the benefit of the doubt...he got taken. He was anxious to get a high visibility example of "doing the right thing for America" opportunity. It was just too bad he is surrounded by intellectuals and thinkers and lawyers and no business acumen in the entire gang. To sort out the return on investment capability of the enterprise.

Special interest with a political objective never equals a benefit for we the people. Solyndra's demise was in the workings of the company the day Obama was touring the plant being fed a line of BS or was it justification fodder....for him.

Every executive who was ever involved in trying to rescue or fix a broken company or plant or industry always hoped to get one that was as easy and as clear cut to solve as America's energy independence needs.

The first thing we used to do is get rid of the rhetorical executives that could not or would not do the job. In this case we would have to fire and get rid of all the political connections and get busy doing what needs to be done to solve a major need for America.

A piece of cake!!! (for real leadership).
