Vice President Joe Biden is one of the more mellow dramatic politicians to come down the pike in the past two decades or so. And while I’m inclined to sympathize with Biden the man and the traumatic loss which defined his life after his election to Congress in 1992, I cannot sympathize with Biden the politician and the often off the cuff and baseless brand of Liberalism he brings to the discussion. This cagy Washington insider is as much or more the partisan hack as his boss at any given moment on any given day. He has been and continues to be an enthusiastic promoter of the politics of national division to say the least.

Moreover, it appears that he was elbow deep in the push to bring green energy out of the closet before its time and at the expense of everything common sense. Emails recently turned over to the House Committee investigating the Solyndra debacle appear to cast the Vise President and Energy Secretary Steven Chu as its biggest cheerleaders. And while we are still searching for a clear smoking gun, it is obvious based on the email content, that high ranking folks at the WH were aware of a possible appearance of impropriety, and even suggested phraseology to be used if they were ever questioned on their role.

Now look, the Democrats in DC crying Republican foul or witch hunt on the matter of $500 billion dollars of tax payer money going down the toilet, is akin to Bernie Madoff bad mouthing Michael Milken, especially when the job creation they’re yacking about was supposed to have come from these “green energy companies”. Instead, and under the Obama watch I might add, the “venture capitalists” allegedly despised by the Left will most likely be paid through the bankruptcy court first, with everyday investors like you and I taking the pipe. Worse yet, what about all the folks who lost their new “green jobs” at the Solyndra plant itself?

Transparency?

I’m not sure I want to know anymore….
