As Romney sees Gingrich zoom past him in the polls, Romney is changing his plan of attack. Romney will now be against everything he used to be for and at the same time, he will now be for everything he used to be against that he used to be for. Meanwhile, in case he doesn't get the nomination, Gingrich is making the most of his travels by meeting with corporate leaders lining up new lobbying business but he can't say what he's for yet until they show him the money.

Pretty much like the revolving door at the White House to decide which company would get the government money on the green energy issues. Is that the kind of thing you speak of
Those kind of lobbying efforts are spelled SOLYNDRA......

Solyndra was driven into bankruptcy by forces outside the control of the company and even outside the control of the government. Making a loan guarantee to Solyndra would have been a good idea at any other time than when it was done and nobody could have foresaw what was coming. Solyndra was put out of business by China pure and simple. This is their standard MO for eliminating competition from other countries. If they want to sell a product, the first thing they do is dump it on the market at such a cheap price that all the competition goes out of business. Once they are the only one standing, that's it, they own the market. Just look at virtually everything that is manufactured today and it will say "MADE IN CHINA". Wake up and stop blaming everything on Obama, this would have happened no matter who was in the White House. It is a way bigger problem than you realize.

The point I was making was the exact same point you were making about favors my friend.It is not about Obama.It is about the system.One added point about the Solyndra deal was the fact that the Energy Department subordinated the first 75 million of the loan guarantee to the very people that had a big hand in putting Obama in office in the first place.If you are not familiar with the legal term "subordination",look it up in the dictionary and while you are at it check out United States Code when it comes to the "taxpayer" being first with no subordination like there was for the first 75 million of this deal to Argonaut/Kaiser.

That was an artful way of putting lipstick on a pig.
It was only 500 million. It would have been better spent dropping it from a plane over New York City.
