Which is the bigger Obama administration scandal: Solyndra, LIGHTSQUARED, or Fast and Furious?
tell me which one is the worst in your opinion and why
Answer: I think it is Fast and Furious. They were making a big stink about all the guns getting from the US into Mexico and saying that we need to regulate guns here to stop it. Turns out it was them letting the guns go and in at least one case actually funding the purchase through their informant. They were going to use all the guns in Mexico as evidence to attack our rights provided by the 2nd amendment. They also contributed to the deaths of US agents and citizens. Any official in on this scandal needs to be behind bars, no matter how high ranking.

Why am I hearing people complain about the Obama Administration scandal of the Air Force General&LIGHTSQUARED?
Answer: Because fox news and rush limbaugh told them to.
Defense Department testimony is routinely reviewed and coordinated with administrative agencies as the Department of Defense Office of Legislative Counsel makes clear. http://www.dod.gov/dodgc/olc/docs/OLC_overview.pdf
Moreover, the White House Office of Management and Budget has the mission of "clearing "agency views on legislative proposals and testimony to ensure consistency in the Administration's policy positions." In other words, clearing and coordinating General Shelton's testimony is standard process.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/organization_mission/
Colonel Kathleen Cook, a spokeswoman for General Shelton, who Griffin quoted in the piece, has said: "I can assure you Gen. Shelton's testimony was his own, supported by and focused purely on documented tested results."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/gop-lawmakers-scrutinize-Lightsquared/2011/09/15/gIQAFK1iVK_story.html
Another piece of evidence missing from Fox News' report is that, according to Politico, the alleged Democratic donor at the center of the story, Philip Falcone, says: "I'm a registered Republican and have given more money to Republicans than to Democrats."
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/63728_Page2.html
Sadly, this is just another example of how Fox News' "straight news" division and its opinion programming are really the same thing.
