"It should be noted that the DOE awarded the program???s flagship $535 million loan guarantee to the now-defunct Solyndra prior to Silver???s arrival."
It should also be noted Solyndras loan application had been refused by the Bush administration because of concerns the company would fail by Sept. 2011.
Ignoring all the warnings from the people in charge of the program under Bush, the Solyndra application was fast tracked within days of Obama taking office.
Silver was put in charge to replace the 'Bush obstructionists' and enforce the new presidents plans to ignore facts and play crony capitalist with our tax dollars.
