SolarCity: DOE Loan in Jeopardy Because of Solyndra Investigation | Renewable Energy News Article

"Project SolarStrong’s structuring and its review by the DOE has required the efforts of more than 100 people, thousands of hours of work, and more than $3 million of investment by our company and our financing partners over the last eleven months. Halting the project will mean sacrificing more than $1 billion of private investment into economically hard-hit military communities throughout the United States.
It would also mean the loss of jobs we believe the project would create, many of which would have gone to veterans and the family members of our active duty military servicemen and women. We believe that the valuable work done to move the SolarStrong project to completion should not be lost because of the Solyndra bankruptcy."

As long as the BIG cheese and the cheese eaters make honesty and forthright disclosure a second thought, the decisions made by the present administration appear to be costing more jobs than they make. Even in their favored green industries.

Obama's Iftar dinner remarks | POLITICO 44

From apologeticspress.org

 

After his presidency, but before his election to Congress in 1830, John Quincy penned several essays dealing with one of the many Russo-Turkish Wars. In these essays, we see a cogent, informed portrait of the threat that Islam has posed throughout world history:

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Observe that Adams not only documents the violent nature of Islam, in contrast with the peaceful and benevolent thrust of Christianity, he further exposes the mistreatment of women inherent in Islamic doctrine, including the degrading practice of polygamy.

A few pages later, Adams again spotlights the coercive, violent nature of Islam, as well as the Muslim’s right to lie and deceive to advance Islam:

The precept of the koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force (Blunt, 29:274).

Obama says he inherited economic problems - Yahoo! News

Obama inherited a lower debt level… trillions lower… and a lower unemployment rate…nearly half. Chronically, he misses the entire point of even having a president: one who pulls all factions together to deliver resolution to problems, not excuses for personal incompetence.

Obama calls for political will to deal with economic challenges - CNN.com

Not so much so-called ‘political will’ as much as the absence  of presidential impedance will solve this dilemma. One would think, after his tantrum-like refusal to co-operate with anything that met S&P’s proscription for a fiscally responsible budget, that would be obvious and readily deduced.
But then, we did put such gross inexperience and resultant incompetence in the White House in the first place, didn’t we?

Dems Use Downgrade to Amplify Anti-Tea Party Charges - FoxNews.com

 

But Standard & Poor's Managing Director John Chambers said there's "lots of blame to go around." 

He agreed with several officials that the environment in Washington is "dysfunctional," [doesn’t mention the Tea Party which is not an official political party] and said the fact that the dysfunction [the inability of the President and his Democrats to refrain form naming unofficial political parties as culpable…chronic blame-laying beyond the rational] to  put the United States within hours of hitting its debt ceiling was a driving factor in the downgrade decision. The second factor, he said, was the country's "fiscal trajectory."

Simply stated, the President’s inability to cohere the Congress, coupled with the absence of a viable plan to manage a sound fiscal policy resulted in an historic credit downgrade on Obama’s watch. In the corporate world, the shareholders would be demanding that the person at the top step aside and let someone with experience take over…while there’s still time.

The Democrats are either proving that they can’t comprehend the S&P Report as written or that they lack the willingness to tell the truth. Both may be applicable.

Axelrod: This is "a Tea Party downgrade" - CBS News

Alelrod is either a complete liar or he simply can’t read. The S&P report blames the downgrade on the 'Debt to Income ratio' (D/I), as all lenders will view your credit worthiness. It made no mention of ‘debt ceilings’ or ‘brinkmanship’ as it’s motivation to lower the credit-worthiness of the United States. And it certainly makes no mention of any policies held or promoted by anyone in the Tea Party.

However, typically, when the president of a company which is publicly owned allows this sort of thing to happen on his watch, he is fired for incompetence (Yahoo and founder,Wang as a recent example), since it is the mark of a qualified leader to bring opposing thoughts together to a solution. At this he fails miserably, at least to anyone objectively observing what goes in and what comes out. Politics, of course, will twist fact to become fantasy. Hence, the script and cast of the comedy of errors currently being billed in Washington today.
1.5 stars for showing up. I think. Maybe. (hmmm)

Debt Drama Blocks Out Big Picture on Credit - NYTimes.com

President Obama went to the American public via TV, figuring that if they were sufficiently ignorant of the facts to vote for him in the first place, then they are likely continuing in their ignorance of what’s really going on with the nation's over-maxxed credit cards and what it’s going to do to our country’s credit score. In his own words:

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen,"

“What I think is underappreciated until now is a possible outcome whereby the debt ceiling is increased, debt default is avoided, but one of the rating agencies feels compelled to downgrade America’s AAA because of insufficient agreement on medium-term fiscal reform,” Mr. El-Erian said.

If the country were to lose its vaunted rating, the federal government, companies, homeowners and innumerable others would see their costs skyrocket — a situation that would certainly send the markets into a downward spiral.

What happened to global warming? - Science Fair - USATODAY.com

Wow….all my expectations that man has caused Global Climate Change are quickly going up in a puff of smoke…I mean volcanic ash.

"What happens in the future depends on the cause of the aerosols," says Daniel. "If it's volcanic, it depends on what volcanoes do. If its sulfur, it depends on what our pollution is."
The paper does not address how man-made versus natural activities contribute to aerosol creation, which they say is a question to be explored in further studies.
As for aerosols' impact on climate models used to estimate future global warming, according to the study, "climate model projections neglecting these changes would continue to overestimate the … global warming in coming decades if these aerosols remain present at current values or increase."

And this comes just weeks after scientists recognize that volcanoes are 100 million times (100,000,000X) more influential on climate than previously understood. Besides clearing the air a bit, to see climate for what it is, this process also discloses “science” for what it isn’t: an authoritative source for knowledge, but rather a systematic process for the alleviation of ignorance. And as such, we have a lot to learn. After all, if we actually knew it all, science –the systematic process by which we relieve ourselves of our ignorance-  would serve no purpose.
And, as the paper points out, natural climate controls will likely dominate, remaining true to climate’s billion year pattern of behavior, where one volcanic eruption can remove an entire season’s warmth. Now that’s what I call ‘influential’.
Man should only hope to have such power. Or not.

It’s Not the Ceiling That’s The Problem; It’s That The Ceiling Is Already TOO HIGH!

 

Credit rating agencies Fitch, S&P and Moody’s have all warned that without significant deficit reduction being enacted now, the United States’ gold-plated Triple-A credit rating is being reviewed for a downgrade. Significantly, S&P gauges a 50 percent likelihood of a downgrade in the next three months alone.

America's real credit problem--Stephen Meister - NYPOST.com

In fact, both Standard & Poor's and Moody's say the real threat to the US government's AAA rating comes from Washington's refusal to start living within its means.
The big problem: President Obama's (and Democrats', in general) ideological resistance to spending cuts.

Moody's puts U.S. ratings on review for downgrade | Reuters

Why do we pay their salaries? If my TV repairman was this bad at his job, he’d have been long gone. With so much to lose and so much at stake, how does such incompetence gain so much power?

Standard & Poor's placed the U.S. rating on negative outlook on April 18 which meant a downgrade is likely in 12-18 months.

"They are worried they are having these ideological arguments while Rome burns," said Carl Kaufman, portfolio manager at Oster weis Capital Management in San Francisco.

NO ! NO ! NO !

It’s GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED BY MAN…even if volcanoes are 100 million times more causative than previously known. It’s still man that is doing the most. He just is. It has to be man. It just does.

Volcanoes may release particles that can cause changes in local and regional weather at rates up to 100 million times higher than previously realized.

Supreme Court: Sale of Violent Video Games to Minors Constitutional - ABC News

1) Children Should Watch Violent Video games so that they become insensitive to  destructive murder and mayhem. Schools will improve as children can better visualize dead students and teachers.

2) Men should marry men and women should marry women to further improve and propagate society by celebrating a group of people that identifies primarily with their sex organ’s usage that is not accommodated to any useful purpose in nature. But it IS natural. Depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is.

3) Man has the power to change climate, as much as all of nature caused to occur before man even existed. Volcanic eruption and intense solar activity cannot match the power of man.

3) Obama has brought Change that has shown us why we should have Hope. The proof is in how the economy can be held back from its enthusiasm

4) Easter Bunnies hide eggs on the White House lawn.
