Solyndra, the now-shuttered California company, had been a poster child of President Obama’s initiative to invest in clean energies and received the administration’s first energy loan of $535 million.

Boy oh boy. The Solyndra folly will just be one of many many TV ads reminding folks of what's gone down during the Community Agitator's only term. How'd you like to be a House or Senate Dim sharing the Obama ticket in just less than a year now? Well if you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas, Dims. The job market will welcome you one and all.
