Solyndra, &#8220;the failed energy company that he talks about a lot as a symbol of Obama\u2019s misuse of taxpayer dollars.&#8221; Now, folks, this is well-played. I have to tell you, at the beginning of the program I told you I really like the fact that Romney is ignoring all these Democrat calls to repudiate his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Distance yourself from Trump. He\u2019s a birther! How dare you? Distance yourself from Limbaugh. You have go out to condemn these people. You have got to put \u2019em away. You\u2019ve gotta put \u2019em down,&#8221; and Romney\u2019s not responding to it at all. Now, McCain, he didn\u2019t wait for the Democrats to complain. When he knew they were gonna complain he took preemptive action and got rid of supporters. And most Republicans do. The media, the Democrats, start stomping their feet and crying and moaning.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62954\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Romney-Solyndra1_large.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>They start demanding (sniveling liberal impression), &#8220;You better repudiate Limbaugh! You &#8212; you &#8212; you better distance yourself from Limbaugh.&#8221; And Republicans that go do it are applauded. But Romney, to his credit, is not. So here\u2019s Obama running all these ads about how heartless and cold Romney is. (paraphrased) &#8220;Bain Capital, all they cared about is profits! They hired people and fired \u2019em. They took over companies and they fired people and they shut \u2019em down and took them to bankruptcy, but they got their profits out of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So Romney has responded (paraphrased), &#8220;Oh, yeah? Well, I\u2019ve got an 80% success rate, Mr. President. The companies that Bain Capital &#8212; using its own money, by the way &#8212; went in and rescued had an 80% success rate. What\u2019s your success rate, Mr. President? Zero! Every company you\u2019ve attempted to save or industry you\u2019ve tried to give a boost to &#8212; with taxpayer dollars, not even your own &#8212; are bankrupt.&#8221; And to personify this, to illustrate it, Romney goes to Solyndra today.<\/p>\n<p>Bravo! Well done! I like this.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care if Romney\u2019s &#8220;not conservative enough.&#8221; I know some people, like Joe Scarborough yesterday on his show, said (paraphrased), &#8220;People don\u2019t know about Solyndra! This is crazy. Romney\u2019s wasting his time talking about Solyndra. The American people never heard of it and the American people don\u2019t care about Solyndra.&#8221; He said you and I care about it, but nobody else knows about it. I\u2019m sure in certain circles, inside the Beltway, it is considered an inside baseball story that the average American doesn\u2019t know about and doesn\u2019t care about.<\/p>\n<p>But, see, that\u2019s what a campaign is for.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people are gonna know about it now, if they didn\u2019t. And they are gonna learn about it in context. Because Romney\u2019s being hit for failing to save companies but taking profits out of them and firing people. So let\u2019s go! Let\u2019s go to the shuttered, shut-down, number one example of Barack Obama knowing how to do this. Let\u2019s go to Solyndra, a phony company with a phony industry: solar panels, solar energy. They spent all this taxpayer money, and it\u2019s nothing. It\u2019s shuttered. It\u2019s shut down.<\/p>\n<p>If only Bain Capital had tried to save Solyndra, it might have been saved. I\u2019m not sure about that \u2019cause there\u2019s no business there. Bain probably didn\u2019t want any part of it \u2019cause there\u2019s no business there. Solyndra was a bunch of Obama donors. So the media is going out of its way not to cover Romney\u2019s visit to Solyndra. Fox is covering it. I just saw it. I just saw a brief picture of Romney at the Solyndra sign. CNN is covering it on their website.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Thursday visit was kept a tight secret by the Romney campaign, which told reporters they needed to travel in a campaign bus to an undisclosed location. A Romney adviser said the campaign had concealed the event location for fear the [regime] would somehow prevent them from staging it.&#8221; Probably true. If the regime finds out Romney is going to Solyndra, the regime owns it (what\u2019s left of it). So you call some marshals in and you don\u2019t let anybody in.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_62955\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-Solyndra585.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Asked how the [regime] could prevent an event staged on public property, the adviser said there might be a way. &#8216;Look, he\u2019s only president. I mean, they could work with town officials to deny us access.\u2019 Romney is expected to give brief remarks then take some questions.&#8221; Speaking of all this, audio sound bite number seven: Dick Morris last night on The O\u2019Reilly Factor. There was a discussion of the presidential race. Here\u2019s Dick Morris\u2019 take on Bain, Obama, and Romney.<\/p>\n<p>MORRIS: You see the girl running around with &#8220;Round 1&#8221; sign around the ring. It\u2019s the end of Round 1, and Romney won Round 1. President Obama thought that Bain Capital would be a silver bullet. He thought Romney walked around with a bull\u2019s-eye on his chest and all he needed to do was pull the trigger. And once he put the Bain Capital stuff on, Romney would fall apart. Didn\u2019t happen. And now Romney is coming back with Solyndra, and Obama\u2019s dropping Bain and moving on to his record as governor. That\u2019s huge! When you\u2019re political consultants and you fire your best bullet and the guy is still standing and isn\u2019t hurt, that\u2019s very bad news.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Damn straight it is, and Bain was bullet-point number one in this campaign. Well, bullet-point number two. Occupy Wall Street and Romneycare, that\u2019s still to come. Those are the number one bullet-points going after Romney. But this was number two, and it didn\u2019t work. They finally had to drop it. That\u2019s a good observation there by Dick Morris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is CNN: &#8220;Mitt Romney made a surprise campaign stop today at the shuttered headquarters of Solyndra.&#8221; Romney went and stood in front of the Solyndra sign for a photo-op.
