It seems you are confusing your sureity that Obama bailed out GM only because he's owned by the Unions, with Walker passing ALEC-inspired legislation.

Why did Obama invest tax payer money in companies like Solyndra, Ener1, etc even though prior administrations had reviewed them and decided it wasn't a good risk? Did any of those companies invest companies invest campaign $ in Obama? How did those investments work out? Yet it is Walker who is in the pockets of businesses

What does Obama have to do with Walker, other than as a vehicle for you desperately trying to change the focus away from Walker? The subject is Walker. Not Obama.

As I added to the other post: Walker passed the ALEC- and RGA- 2010 recommended union busting legislation in the face of 100% agreement to his requested cuts and concessions by those very same unions, falsely claiming he needed to union bust to get the cuts, thus doing something he never campaigned upon, and in the face of massive counter-demonstration by his citizens and half his legislature. And now he, his lt. gov, and 4 GOP senators face recall for it. They are getting unlimited (legal) campaign donations from out of state from big private donors, and very little from his own citizens. Far more than what his opposition has currently received.

You say Walker doing the above is the same as Obama bailing out the auto industry. Then you demand I disprove your unproven allegation against Obama, in order to prove Walker isn't doing something entirely different, which is the above?

Uh ... no.

You said that you want corporate owning out of our politicians. I am just showing you that you only believe this when it is convenient for your arguement. All I was doing was showing you that this is happening with Obama to a much larger degree, but you choose to ignore that fact.

I can't wait until Walker Wins Again!

No, you didn't "show" anything. You only made an allegation. Go ahead, prove your allegation, that Obama only made the GM bailout as he was owned by unions. Go ahead. Make your argument that is true. If it's good enough, I'll be quite willing to change my mind and agree with you.

But, rather than try and change the subject to Obama, you'd probably do better to instead show what is factually wrong about this statement I made about Walker. Because this discussion is about Walker. Not Obama.

Obama received campaign donations from solyndra and Ener1. Both of these companies were reviewed for loans/grants by prior administrations and denied based on their business plans and financial sitaution. Obama's administrations gave money to both of these companies and spoke very highly about them. They have both since filed bankruptcy.

Solyndra majority shareholder ownership is wealthy Republicans, like the Walton family.

And you have other facts omitted: The Bush administration approved the loan to Solyndra, trying to rush it through, but the Department of Energy said no, the documents submitted by Solyndra were not complete, what what was there didn't look good. That loan approval was held over until during the Obama administration before the loan documents were completed, then the DOE approved the loan based upon the updated documents.

The documents submitted by Solyndra to the DOE had lies included by the company to gain the loan, providing false information about the company not consistent with the financial reality surrounding the loan.

It's hard to make a conspiracy theory up when all the facts are included.

Solyndra’s loan application was filed during President Bush’s term, but the Solyndra loan was denied by the Bush administration less than two weeks before Bush left office on January 9, 2009. As soon as Obama took office, his administration reversed the denial of the loan and put the ill-advised loan, which had thrown up many red flags that the Bush administration caught, but the Obama administration ignored, on a fast-track to receive the same loan that the Bush administration denied days before.
