Obama coming to Fremont

http://www.kcra.com/news/23638406/detail.html

Thought he was coming to visit the NUMMI plant... but instead he's visiting some solar panel manufacturer called Solyndra.

Solyndra is the "it" company right now in the solar industry. They got a huge loan from the dept of energy last year.

Obama is probably coming over to ask for the money back.

You're thinking of this place all wrong Obama. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's solar farm. And in the Kennedy farm, and Mrs. Macklin's, and a hundred others...

The NUMMI plant and Solyndra are right next door to each other practically... They have a HUGE new building being build right off 880 between Dixon Landing and Warren/Mission.

As if Kato road / Warren isn't messed up enough between the Solyndra building Construction, the 880 on / off ramp reroute and the railroad tracks... the president's going to be there? I'm never going to get to work Wednesday.

I have several friends who got hired at Solyndra after they were laid off, it's very similar work to manufacturing discs for hard drives. I work on the same road between Solyndra and NUMMI.

and the perps would wish they were never born by the time the Secret Service got through with them...

...if they survived. The amount of firepower surrounding his motorcade is sufficient to take on the likes of Brucelee...
