Solyndra lost $518.7 million in the past three years and has an accumulated debt of $557.7 million. A PricewaterhouseCoopers audit shows that the company is likely to go belly up,thus consuming our $535 million loan guarantee. Welcome to Obamanomics

It's not imposible for them to go under, but "likely"? At least wait till they get product out the door before jumping to conclusions.

To change and steal the topic. If I had a chance to ask Obama a question, I'd ask him
"Why do you think the government control is the right path out of debt when almost all government programs have shown they are going into bankruptcy?"
"Why is it better for government to save a company rather than let them tank and a successful business can take over and restructure it correctly?"
"If you were white, and you had your credentials against the other candidates who were white, you wouldn't stand a chance, would you say you won because you're black?"
"Can you show us your long form birth certificate? Why is this difficult to show?"

That's boring.
I'd ask him what really goes on in Area 51 and if I could get a picture with him while he holds out a hand full of change (coins).

Holy cow, secret service everywhere on Kato Road.
Helicopter landed at NUMMI and he drove down Kato to Solyndra. Crazy stuff. At least one black, limo tint, no plates Chrysler on every driveway & cross street between NUMMI and Solyndra. Yay, I waved at the president... well his car at least... and several other cars... there were several, all identical, no way of knowing which had him in it and which just had a bunch of Secret Service.

usually, there are 3 of them flying in formation so to keep the bad guys from shooting down the just one helo... they sometimes fly in wacky formations where the helo would fall into #2, then #2 spot. and then keep moving around. guess it's like the 3 card monte game...

what it takes to deliver one person these days must even be wilder.
