Congress should investigate to see if everyone of these were fronts for money laundering to political supporters. If so, throw their assses in the clink, impeach the empty suit, and then put the first fraud for President of the United States on his own island, Alcatraz.

The Blythe project was guaranteed $2.1 bn in Department of Energy loans. The project was to create 1000 shovel ready construction jobs. The solar plant was to create 1000 megawatts of power. (This output would be comparable to a one coal-fired or nuclear plant if it ever got built).
There is a pattern of failure in these solar power plants. Where does the money go? What happens to these government guaranteed loans? Is there criminal activity here? Is there money laundering activity tied into Obama's re-election campaign? Will the shovel-ready jobs still be counted as jobs created by this government? Ultimately, what was the true cost of this project with no returns.

If you file bankruptcy on a loan from Uncle Sam Obama and you are a supporter, you pay nothing back to the American people. It is the Chicago way, now the American way. That is the Fraud of it all.

Companies go belly up all the time -- it doesn't mean there was political corruption or money laudering or whatever. One reason successful entrepreneurs deserve the huge profits they make is that the risks are high. Why are times so hard for solar companies right now? Three main reasons:
1. Venture capitalists and other financial players identified solar as a potentially huge market and shoveled too much money into it. Too many players and not all could be winners. Something similar previously happened in telecommunications and before that in dotcoms.
2. Solar purchases were being subsidized as a matter of government policy by places like Germany and Spain. When the world economic slowdown was prolonged, these countries reduced their subsidies considerably, hurting demand.
3. Technological advances (especially the Chinese with silicon) have cut the price of solar modules by 80% in 3 years making it hard for many to compete with them.
Despite the "Arab street" worldview, not EVERYTHING that happens is the result of a conspiracy or nefarious forces.
BAGHDAD - Iraq on Monday said Qatars welcoming of Baghdads fugitive Sunni Vice President Tareq Al Hashemi was unacceptable and called on Doha to hand him over.
The state of Qatar receiving a wanted person is an unacceptable act and Qatar should back off from this stance, and return him to Iraq, Deputy Prime Minister Hussein Al Shahristani told a news conference in Baghdad.
Shahristani added that the autonomous Kurdistan region, where Hashemi had been holed up since charges were issued against him in December, had committed a clear challenge to law and justice by allowing him to leave the country.
Hashemi arrived on Sunday in Doha, where he was welcomed by Qatari Minister of State Shaikh Hamad bin Nasser bin Jassem Al Thani, according to Qatari state news agency QNA. He left the Kurdistan region of Iraq this morning, Sunday, going to Doha, accepting an invitation he had previously received, a statement from Hashemis office emailed to AFP said.

In 2012 as in 2008. It's fraud but don't expect any Federal Election Commission investigation.
Is there anything this guy won't do to win a second term?

He got away with it in the first term.
This time, there have been contributions from foreigners and dead people, including Hitler (a known right-wing Rethuglican!) and bin Laden. It all spends the same.
How hard would it have been for Soros to set up a million $3 donations in a million fake names?

His campaign spend rate is apparently unprecedented at this point, especially given that he's running unopposed in the primary. He needs every penny he can scrape up, whether by fair means or foul.

The Federal Election Commission seems rather toothless so far as enforcement goes. Voting rights violations go through the DOJ Civil Rights Division. Seems like an open playground for voting corruption.

One thing is certain. Romney won't outspend this guy, and that's the only thing winning primaries for him. Better hope we do well enough in the House and Senate to keep Bammo at bay during his second term.

So today Obama dissed the SC complaining they are not elected and was questioning their presence in the American system. He is pulling this democracy apart. More ammo please, the clouds of CW are getting dark.

I hope he loses and someone investigates both of his presidential campaigns.

Query - what would happen if they got slammed with a few million bogus submissions?
I don't know - I am not into retail or know a thing about how CC transactions are processed.
I would think that the CC verification is there for a reason and by intentionally disabling it and allowing bogus submissions they are opening themselves up for some sort of fine or disabling from their CC processor.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
