Subject: Obama is just bad for America.
September 16, 2011
Worse than Solyndra
Thomas Lifson




Add the name LightSquared to your crony capitalism watch list. The story emerging has elements even worse than the squandering of half a billion dollars on an Obama bundler's venture.

Brendan Sasso of The Hill reports:


LightSquared plans to provide high-speed wholesale wireless service nationwide through a network of satellites and land-based cell towers, but tests earlier this year revealed it interferes with GPS devices, including those used by the military.

One of the major investors in LightSquared is prominent Democratic donor, Philip Falcone.

The Daily Beast reported Thursday that the White House asked Air Force Gen. William Shelton to alter his planned remarks to lawmakers and their staff in a secured briefing about LightSquared.

According to the report, Shelton was pressured to change his testimony to show he supported the White House's policy to expand wireless broadband access and that the Pentagon would try to resolve the GPS interference issues with more testing within 90 days.

The Center for Public Integrity reported Wednesday that LightSquared sent emails to White House aides, at times mentioning its fundraising for Democrats and President Obama.

"We cannot afford to have federal telecommunication policy, especially where it affects national security, to be made in the same way this White House has parceled out a half billion dollars in loan guarantees to the failed Solyndra Corporation, a large political campaign contributor of the president," Turner said, referring to the bankrupt solar firm that received government loans.

Artful Dodger: You forget to mention that LightSquared have also supported Bush and gave equal funds (I think more) to the GOP. You also forget to mention that the problem with the GPS interference is in the upper frequency bands and they plan at the moment to just stick to using a lower frequency level.

Also, the GPS problems have been known for EIGHT YEARS, that the interference problems are because the GPS manufacturers are not building their receivers properly to "Department of Defence standards".

Basically cheap and nasty gear!!

He knew what he was getting, and he assured that all would be well.

rod03801: ... you want a politician to tell you before he gets in office that the country is screwed. And even if I get in there is little to do about it because of our political system, and the interference by the masters.... Mmmmmm I can just imagine that as part of the election speech.

Also, you want him to be honest and say that to reverse and fix the problem will take decades, and to ....

rod03801: So explain to me where I said Obama gets a free pass?

Is telling the truth of how the US system is a free pass or just admission that through analysis....

...... It doesn't matter who gets in at the moment eg if the hardware is screwed how is any new software gonna make any difference to the machine (aka the USA) ..it's still screwed.

Is that clear?

....Remember only a few Americans own most of America, and as my college lawyer teacher said.

"Property is NINE TENTH'S of the law"

rod03801: Good!! It's nice that we don't have to go around in circles.

I remember from watching a few *cough* shows on human behaviour on how some like to think they have the power to change things, sometimes on how a group of people think they can change things/or someone.

...It don't work unless the things/person wants to change.

Same rules apply to humans on a large scale. Or, as an example.. when are MP's got caught with their hands in the public purse building duck ponds. They all said it was the other parties fault. Yet the Tories change the rules so they could do it.. but Labour did not stop the rot until us voters found out!!

(V): What an old and lame excuse. All presidents inherit something. But the CURRENT mess is OBAMA'S OWN making. We're far more in debt because of his policies, have far more unemployment after three years with this moron, he's thrown tons of money away on failed enterprises, and now he wants MORE of the same. NO. You're wrong here. The current mess is ALL OBAMA. And it's time for libs like yourself to be honest about that FACT.

Artful Dodger: THAT is clear!

I can't WAIT for November 2012. Going to be SO satisfying to vote him out. Just like how satisfying it was to get decent people in the House in 2010.

Dems/network news//TV/etc, refuse to believe that the PEOPLE don't WANT this incompetent moron and the other libs like him.

And I HOPE a Tea Partier is the winner.

Though unfortunately it'll be middle of the road Romney probably. But that's fine. Whoever can beat Obama will be good. All I care is that he is GONE

The EXTREME end of that isn't always appropriate. But right now, we need the extreme end of it to straighten things out.
