Ben Johnson, The White House Watch
Despite the Obama administration’s desperate attempts to blame George W. Bush for the Solyndra loan scandal, House Republicans have initiated a series of high-profile investigations into whether the loan guarantee was a political payback. Company VIPs have already said they will invoke the Fifth Amendment when called to testify before Congress tomorrow.
One of the people Republicans must compel to testify about her role in the scandal is Barack Obama’s closest adviser, Valerie Jarrett.
Solyndra CEO Brian Harrison will take the Fifth when he (briefly) testifies before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Friday. Committee chairman Fred Upton of Michigan has asked, “Who exactly are Solyndra’s executives trying to protect and what are they trying to hide?”
Harrison hopes to hide the role one of his chief shareholders played in currying, or buying, favor with Jarrett and the administration.
In 2009, the same year Solyndra received its $535 million federal loan guarantee, the George Kaiser Family Foundation made a $10,000 donation to the Urban Health Initiative at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The foundation controls 35.7 percent of Solyndra.
Just months before Kaiser’s foundation poured tax-exempt cash into its coffers, Valerie Jarrett served as the medical center’s chairwoman. The initiative was created by none other than future First Larcenist Michelle Obama. In an earlier act of cronyism, Michelle “recommended” the center hire David Axelrod’s firm to provide PR in 2006. Indeed, the project employed a bevy of Obama’s Chicago cronies. In a 2008 story, The Washington Post reported….

Liberals are by nature liars. The nature of their beliefs drives and sustains this tendency.
The liberal philosophies exhibited by many disconsolate, deluded individuals in the U.S.A and around the world are not viable in reality. I truly wish these philosophies were innocuous in nature; however, they are quite detrimental to the well being of the various peoples of the world. There are three reasons that liberals persist in their delusions despite said philosophies obvious detriment to the people of the world: ignorance, apathy, and greed.
Many liberals are usually well meaning but highly analphabetic cretins who have been deluded into following unsound philosophies by their peers. The left is comprised of people of questionable intellect and little or no ability to elevate themselves above the mindless droning of the masses.
Liberals practice beliefs and behaviors that are harmful to themselves and others. They do this knowingly but they simply do not care that their actions are harmful as long as they are allowed instant gratification of whatever they are feeling at the moment.
The upper liberal echelon consists of malicious power seekers who prey on the weak and ignorant while spreading their destructive filth for the sole purposes of prolonging their pathetic grasp on political power.
Regardless of whether a leftist is driven by ignorance, apathy, or greed, they all have one thing in common: they lie. The ignorant liberal lies either out of ignorance or to preserve self-delusional beliefs; the apathetic leftist lies to excuse his lifestyle; and the malicious progressive leader lies to keep his power base apathetic and ignorant.
I LOVED JO DARLING COMMENT , BUT THIS IS THE FINEST DESCRIPTION OF A LEFTIST I EVER READ. KEEP POUNDING IT HOME MAYBE WE CAN SAVE THIS COUNTRY YET.
That was well put. I am a little lazy in the morning so let just make it simple and say they are EVIL.
As all thinking people know whenever some shady deal perpetrated by the Obummer Administration goes bad and they get caught with their pants down or in V.Jarretts case her granny panties they blame the dufus Bush.But you must remember Bush halted giving money to Solydra. But the greedy oreo Obuma seized the opportunity with the help of Kaiser to give the 500 million to Solydra, so Kaiser the bundler could kick back money to Obuma and his cronies.Obuma didn't and don''t care that they went belly up he got what he wanted and more.
JARRETT ALONG WITH HOLDER, OBAMA, PELOSI, REID AND THE WHOLE RATS NEXT OF CORRUPT CZARS BELONG BEHIND BARS UNTIL THEY CAN ALL BE TRIED FOR TREASON! I AM SO SICK AND DISGUSTED WITH THE OBAMA MAFIA!
Valerie Jarrett just became Obama-nation's BOAT ANCHOR, as he sinks deeper into corruption and deceit along with his cronies in the administration and his lefty liberal NWO agenda!
Obama will shed this as easily as all other problems that comes his way. He is very slippery,deceitful,untruthful,arrogant,and hated. Why is he still there?
Obama is a slippery snake and about as dangerous. Its imperative that he is a one term president!!

Arrest these criminals! I'm tired of the side stepping of the law of the land with Obama's back door deals and the way he instigated another illegal war of aggression with the country of Libya. Bailouts for Wall Street criminal bankers of Goldman Sachs and sacking the American taxpayer with the debt instead. A Dept of Justice and the ATF running guns to Mexican drug cartels and a criminal probes launched that lead to no where with no arrests and now this fraud Solyndra and pleading the 5th amendment and outright robbery of the American taxpayer. I am both shocked and appalled that the American people are taking this kind of abuse from a tyrannical criminal government of liars and thieves crooks and swindlers.
More sniveling and finger pointing from the White House. Has anyone noticed that Obama and his administration do not accept responsibility for any of their actions? Their mission has been to change America into a Marxist-dictatorial country, no doubt with Obama as dictator and the slime Soros pulling his puppet strings. Since most of these criminals and traitors will simply get a slap on the wrist, like Al Sharpton who came up smelling like roses, I'm curious to know how much tax payer money will provide them with a lavish pension and posh lifestyle, while average Americans toil to pay for their crimes?
The whole Congress is crooked, White house, and Attorney General's office INCLUDED. Is there noone with enough backbone to take out several of these bad bad eggs. What does it take, a catistrofic killing of Americans for Congress to act. I guess so. B.H
Is It Possible that finally, somebody has got the" Balls" to Investigate any one in the White House much less the
"Crown Stooge " Obama" ????
Ye gods—he runs around committing any damn crime that he wants and NO ONE in our so called "Congress" has the "Balls" to have him investigated.
Please note that quotation marks are used to put enphasis on the word "White House" simply because it is so filled with slime and garbage today.
It has lost its connentation of trust —-a White House as our Fore Fathers had previously established it.
Passing out the United States Constitutions to other Americans seems to be "wrong" when it comes to the New Black Panther Party. We all have to remember that Eric Holder also gave these left wing hate mongers a free pass on the Philadelphia voting intimidation case. With that parallel in mind, where is the ACLU on this one? Both are…………..silent! Now how would anyone guess this who is a patriot and believer in their country and founding fathers!

Question:
1. Who in the Obama adiminstration authorized the that the stock holders of this failed company through bankruptcy were given status over the taxpayers in bankruptcy recovery funds?
2. Does anyone know who were the stockholders of this Solyndra Company who were given this preferential treatment over the taxpayers?
I want Issa to get all those documents and hard drives which the FBI got when they raided these people IMMEDIATELY before they conveniently DISAPPEAR like some have in the Fast & Furious crap!! As we all know the FBI was directed by Holder and Holder is in this thing deeeeeep!!!
michelle, barrack and Valerie Jarret heavily in vovled in benefits of Solyndra money
The person or institution giving a gift is called the donor, and the person or institution getting the gift is called the donee
Madame Jarrett is one of the reasons why the illegal alien and democrats have prospered in America. She is pushing the agenda which the communists and anti-Americans are adamant about–infact, she is totally anti-American and funded well by the LEFT. Also, she is a committed homosexual, like the slimebag she works for.
I support Valerie Jarrett.

C. Jarrett
