Chu Him Out

By George Neumayr on 11.17.11 @ 6:09AM

The “Nobel Prize-winning physicist” pleads stupidity on Solyndra.

“The American people… just like your teenage kids aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in 2009. Chu was comparing Americans to heedless youth for resisting the left’s environmentalist decrees. The comment came as the Energy Department embarked on a nationwide tour of 6,000 schools to hector children about “climate change” and as it propagandized the “broader public about how important clean energy industries are to our competitive position in the global economy.”

Lecturing the American people on responsibility and global economics was a comfortable stance for Chu at the time. Americans were expected to genuflect before his lab coat. He was, after all, an unimpeachable man of science — a “Nobel prize-winning” physicist, as the Obama administration repeated with comic frequency. How could he possibly be wrong about the promise of green jobs? Besides, another brilliant thinker, Van Jones, had vouched for Chu’s program. (Obama saw in this aspiring Marxist an expert on what makes economies hum and made him “green jobs czar.”)

But now Chu finds himself sitting before Congress as the subject of lectures on irresponsibility, having been exposed by the Solyndra scandal as far more reckless in his spending and judgment than any wayward youth. The Nobel Prize-winning physicist and his patron, the Nobel Prize-winning president, pooled their intelligence to come up with a loan guarantee program that, by the time all is said and done, will have squandered billions of taxpayer dollars on bankrupt companies tied to their political and ideological cronies.

Convinced of the rectitude of their environmentalist cause, the two remain as unrepentant as arrogant teens. “No, I don’t,” said Obama when asked in October if he regretted his support for Solyndra. “I’ll stand by those words,” Chu said on NPR this week when asked about his remarks at the Solyndra groundbreaking. Chu had bragged about the “unprecedented speed” with which he was granting loans to “promising” companies that “hesitant investors” weren’t supporting.

Those hesitant investors look pretty good right now and Obama and Chu look stupid. But in their minds they still stand on the side of the angels and thus should be exempt from any criticism. Judge us by our intentions, they basically say. Their attitude about “green jobs” is the same as their approach to “climate change” regulations — they consider them the “right thing to do” no matter how much economic destruction might follow in their wake. Of course, they don’t think those adverse consequences should touch them or their political donors. Obama and Chu made sure to leave the Solyndra bill for the American taxpayer rather than George Kaiser.

Obama and Chu claim that they could not have anticipated the company’s problems (one would have needed “clairvoyant” hindsight, Chu has said) even as they boast of the brave risk they took by supporting it. “And what we always understood was that not every single business is going to succeed in clean energy,” Obama has said. It was a noble failure, they say — a noble failure that they didn’t want anyone to know about. Hence, the frantic attempted bailouts and restructuring of the deal. And now it has come out that Chu’s Department of Energy instructed Solyndra to conceal its layoffs until after the November 2, 2010 elections. Solyndra complied, releasing the information on November 3.

The press continues to indulge Chu’s man-of-science routine even as all the evidence trickling out shows him to be a political hack and hubristic ideologue. Press accounts that appear designed to save his job cast him as “naïve,” as if he were too busy fiddling around with experiments to participate in any political mischief. The truth is that he likes to play the trendy pol. The unfolding scandal into which he has fallen is exactly what one would expect from an overrated scientist with that personality type.

An egotistical nerd excited to be a political player and drunk with the power of environmentalist ideology was bound to get into this kind of mess while pooh-poohing the very warnings from lesser mortals that could have saved him from it. OMB officials had told him Solyndra was a bad bet but Chu knew better. Chu figured that he could teach himself any subject, including venture capitalism.

It is clear from Chu’s NPR interview that the internal White House e-mail containing advice from a former Obama campaign adviser to the effect that Chu is politically and managerially inept and should be sent back to the lab has hurt his pride. He implied his critic was a nobody who didn’t know his talents or his adroit handling of the Energy Department. Yet this departmental visionary finds himself in the awkward position of having to explain the Solyndra debacle on grounds other than political or ideological favoritism. Thinking that innocent incompetence is an easier and more respectable explanation than hubris and corruption, the Nobel Prize winner is essentially pleading stupidity.

"loan guarantee program that, by the time all is said and done, will have squandered billions of taxpayer dollars on bankrupt companies tied to their political and ideological cronies."

This reinforces what I have felt for a long time. Obama is not a black American President, he is an African President, who believes the function of office is to reward cronies and punish enemies

Richard Baker| 11.17.11 @ 6:59AM

Chu is a joke. His ego substitutes for reason, I suppose. He may have received the Nobel Prize in his field but he obviously can't learn anything else. Another Nobel Prize recipient was Albert Einstein who possessed none of Chu's ego and had the ability to either learn outside his field or decide when he shouldn't stray from it. Chu is like so many of the Ph.Ds in this country. Their attitude seems to be that they are so smart and the rest of us great unwashed can't possibly understand their brilliance. Utter nonsense.

Anthony| 11.17.11 @ 11:09AM

Yes, the arrogance of the elite left and their compatriots in academia will be the destruction of America, unless and until we rid our government of all of them, NOW.

Robert| 11.17.11 @ 5:29PM

Chu did the Faustian trade to Obama, whoring his intellectual clout for a big political op. He is nothing but a political whore.

Patrick| 11.18.11 @ 4:30AM

He was a whore before he sold himself to Obama, who just happens to be his most recent "John".

martin j smith| 11.17.11 @ 7:40AM

Yet again the Repyubukun Leadershit will be challenged to deal with the utter curruption of the Obama administration--the Crony Capitalism which has created big PARASITE in the Government-Private Sector relationship. Will the Repyubuks have the guts to tell the American People that their money has been spent like ater down the drain or will it quietly go into the corner and plead " they will blame us ". Let us observe by sitting back and watching what they do exactly.

Tina B| 11.17.11 @ 7:58AM

Ain't it da troot.

R Martin| 11.17.11 @ 7:58AM

The Chu/Solyndra debacle is a perfect metaphor for the triumph of Obama's ideological fanaticism over common sense, good judgment and practical management. The incompetence of this administration has gone beyond appalling to become a gross national embarrassment. One wonders if the people who elected this political pretender are yet ashamed of their silliness.

Timothy L. Pennell| 11.17.11 @ 8:55AM

You people have to stop it. He's NOT incompetent. He did EXACTLY what he wanted to do. He put MONEY in to the hands of his BIG MONEY DONORS. They set up a "Shell" Company, so that they could get MILLIONS from Uncle Sam. Fill up their accounts. And, begin, again, to start writing those big fat CHECKS to Barry and hie fellow Dems.

This is no different than the "Stimulus" Money. He gave it to the States, so they could keep their Public Employee Unions ON THE JOB, and PAYING DUES. Dues Money that was promptly collected by Obama's Union Leaders, so they could keep spending MILLION$ on Democrat Campaigns.

He's NOT incompetent.

If only.

DTOM| 11.17.11 @ 12:08PM

TLP,

To be clear, you do mean Obama put the money into his donors hands. Chu is just a useful, over-educated idiot, or a willing co-conspirator.

You forgot one item about Obama: He is intent on destroying our capability of self-government and replacing it with socialist/communist/Islamic domination. Right?

WRTolkas| 11.17.11 @ 8:00AM

Darn excellent writing. Writers like Mr. Newmayr is why I don't subscribe to the propaganda of the MSM.

Keep up the good work.

c.j. acworth| 11.17.11 @ 8:04AM

Conservatives generally and Tea Party types in particular are often derided as being anti-intellectual. Chu is a fine example of why there is some truth to that. The Smart Guys think that because they have mastered one subject that they are now omnicompetent, and deserve deference in all things. When their plans blow up, they will just say "Well, some businesses will fail along the way you know." Ok, fair enough. You guys lost 535m on Solyndra, tell us how much we made on the winners.
Hello...?
Mr. Chu...?
Mr. President...?

DTOM| 11.17.11 @ 12:10PM

cj,

Yes, we are called anti-intellectual when confronted by socialist and communist intellectuals. What we are in fact is anti-socialists and anti-communists.

Melvin| 11.17.11 @ 8:11AM

Chu is our typical Academian who has spent his entire adult life living in a world of theories and science, and of course government grants. This in-itself is fine we need people like that, but when ya mix politics with that, it becomes like the Richard Pyror milk and cookies episode.
Chu swings his Nobel Laureate around like a Black Jack as if it were a shield to protect him from his complete lack of common sense.
Chu doesn't realize that he is politically expendable. The Obama Administration will expect him to fall on his sword, and resign. I don't know if the term, "Fall Guy," is in Chu's lexicon.
"Oh, Steven, I forgot to tell you, Happy Landings."

Anthony| 11.17.11 @ 8:12AM

From Solyndra to Fast and Furious and now legalized insider trading for Congress, the phrase 'Throw Them All Out" seems rather tame and inappropiate when discussing Washington.
Burn the damn place down!!!

hardcard| 11.17.11 @ 8:24AM

chu is an agent of the chi-comms.

Thomas Wilbur| 11.17.11 @ 8:35AM

So many 'Chu-quotes" - most apropos here is (about the incandescent bulb) - "We are taking away a choice that continues to let people waste their own money". Let's take away this guys choice of wasting OUR money...

DTOM| 11.17.11 @ 12:12PM

Thomas;

Chu is so much more effective at wasting our money than we are, maybe we owe him another chance. NOT.

Timothy L. Pennell| 11.17.11 @ 8:46AM

I don't trust ANY of these Chinese, anywhere near our Governments, our Defence Industries, or our Computer Technology Related Industries, any more than I would trust anybody from the "Religion of Peace" to be anywhere near one of our Fighter Jets, Tanks, or Missile Launchers. There's one of them, RIGHT NOW (his name is Liu) in New York City (I believe he's their Comptroller) with Close Ties to a "Friend" of the North Korean Regime.

I don't care what anybody says. If it was up to me? There wouldn't be a CHINESE, anywhere near anything that was "SENSITIVE" or an Intricate Component of our National Security, Economic Security, or Cyber Security.

This guy - CHU - stinks to high Heaven. And this THING in the White House has no compunction, whatsoever, to use ANYBODY, from WHEREVER, if they can help him bring this Country to its' knees.

loulou| 11.17.11 @ 11:24AM

At the risk of being called a hater I have to agree and add Muslim to the list of those who cannot be trusted near our gubmint, military, FBI, CIA, etc.

DTOM| 11.17.11 @ 12:14PM

loulou,

I'm thinking that's what TLP was referring to with his "Religion of Peace" in his first paragraph.

loulou| 11.17.11 @ 1:04PM

Oh. Thanks DTOM.

VonMisesJr| 11.17.11 @ 8:54AM

They are not stupid, but they think that we are.
What is a federal loan guarantee? Let's make it simple to understand. Say you go to the casino with your rich grandma. She gives you $500 to play. If you win another $500, you give her her money back and keep the $500 for which you took NO RISK.
But say you lose that $500 and $500 more of your own money. Well grandma says forget about the first $500, and here is another $500 to cover your losses.
Too bad my grandma was not rich and she is dead. But grandma Obama has his hand in your pocket and lots of little grandchildren that like to play "fast and furious."
Point: all these cronies stood to gain if any investment paid off, but all their bets were covered by the tax payer if the lose. This is not a bet, it is a payoff!

DTOM| 11.17.11 @ 12:18PM

Another plank in your comparison, VMj, is you stand a better chance at the casino, than Solyndra stands in the market. And the casino makes all of its money from odds unfavorable to the gambler. Casinos do not gamble, their probability-ignorant customers do!

Doctor Right| 11.17.11 @ 2:32PM

We ARE stupid.

Because we take it.

An investment counselor who invested money the way our government did (not following fiduciary responsibilities but based upon whims and kickbacks) he would be stripped of his license and put in jail.

Katharine P Winterer| 11.17.11 @ 9:35AM

I'd like to know Kaiser's (and that of other cronies fed by US Taxpayers) net worth today compared with before he was given our money. Same for Kennedy although I suspect his is all in some hidden richman's trust.

Redstateboy| 11.17.11 @ 9:39AM

To "intellectuals" like Hussein and Chu.. what's a billion here, a billion there - they've been in coddled Academia all their f'n lives.. what do they know about bust'n day in, day for decades to earn a buck? And then Treasury tells us: guess what? that bailout to Husseins' union base known as the GM bailout? We're going to lose 24 Billion dollars - but don't worry.. all those union dues campaign contributions - of YOUR money - will be well spent.

TexasEngineer| 11.17.11 @ 9:42AM

I'm not a physicist...just an engineer...but I've learned over the years that the more degrees a person has...the more likely he is to think that the Laws of Physics and Economics DON'T apply to him

Redstateboy| 11.17.11 @ 9:43AM

This is the same Nobel Prize, given in other categories, to the likes of Al Gore and Hussein? Now there's credibility for ya....

dnha14| 11.17.11 @ 10:02AM

Isn't Chu the guy that said to paint all the roofs white? See the attached link for a different opinion from, of all places, Stanford University. Maybe they will win the next Nobel.

Urban 'heat island' effect is only a small contributor to global warming, and white roofs don't help to solve the problem, say Stanford researchers.

http://news.stanford.edu/news/.....01911.html

DTOM| 11.17.11 @ 12:21PM

One of the insidious little methodologies of the AGW faithful is to increasingly rely on climate data from heat islands through time. Think of it, if a suburb grows up around a climatology data collection point and goes from an 'undisturbed' condition to a 'heat island' condition, the temperature recordings will increase through time. How convenient! And they've done that, and a dozen other data cooking strategies as well!

Best we Americans keep Nobel OUT of our government. Period.

great column, and hilarious title. Thank you.

Hey slanderer Ken:

How's that "deal" going that you told me you had with God?
Ya know~ the one where you're supposedly allowed to use His Name in vain?

How's your conscience today, liar and false accuser?

First, you claimed you had the "e mails to PROVE" I asked you to marry me.

Then, you changed your story, and said I didn't ask you that, but I "inquired how your marriage was going" and that you don't have the "PROOF" because "I asked you to delete them!"

So, which is it, you lying reprobate, hmm?

"The LORD has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands." Ps. 9:16.

Ken (Old Texican)| 11.17.11 @ 5:37PM

Hi Margie
I love you but I am still not interested in discussing marrying you. I noticed that you posted a couple of my e-mails to you. Why don't YOU post the email from YOU? OH...did you delete it for secrecy?

PS: My conscience is just fine, and my relationship with The Lord is just fine. I stumble along trying to follow Him. Heh! I made one fatal mistake. Well two. First, I disagreed with you about Roman catholics, and second I said NO!

I am delighted to be the outlet for your need to vent venom each day. Perhaps I can keep you off the backs of our Roman brothers and sisters in Christ.

Margie| 11.17.11 @ 5:50PM

You HAVE no conscience.
YOU made the charge here publicly, that I asked you to marry you, you filthy scumbag.
YOU also claimed you had the e mails to PROVE it.

I repeatedly asked you to post them, you did not, because you COULD not.

Then, as of yesterday, you claimed that I did not ask you to marry me but that I "expressed sadness about my marriage and inquired about yours."

A LIE! You changed your story as well saying that~ OOps! you don't have the emails BEAUSE I ASKED YOU TO DELETE them!

Are you that perverted that you really think anybody with half a brain cannot see what a freaking liar you are?

You are SICK, and will burn in Hell for continuing to lie and slander me here.

God takes what you are doing VERY seriously.

Reprobate pervert.

LOL.
I'll just keep posting your e mail showing what a liar you are:

You may not realize it (heh) but I put down our resident "catholic pompous ass" all the time.

Just any time I refer to his church...I call it simply the "Roman church". If you want to prick his balloon that is all that is necessary (evil smile). You can also refer to the statues of the "Saints" in Rome being nothing more than the old Roman gods (little g) with new signs painted on their feet.
(I know...I have seen them in person. little plaques glued tackily on those beautiful carved marble statues.)

Roman church members just absolutely detest being called (correctly by the rest of Christendom) as nothing more than idol worshippers.

Heh, I must warn you though, the insult kicked off one of the "Crusades" though I have forgotten which. It is a killin' insult I delight in when a so-called catholic (which means universal, by the way),
uses the word "catholic". I simply tell them..."No No...I'm in the CATHOLIC CHURCH! You are in that Roman idol worshipping cult from Rome".

Use the insult sparingly, however. Just say "Roman Church". They usually get the message.

You will note that JP NEVER screws with me any more.
God loves you, lady.

Their church wants their "laymen" to keep their ignorant noses out of their Bibles, (and yes Virginia, There is a Catholic version...heh...).

VonMisesJr| 11.17.11 @ 11:06AM

While GOFan is correct that the hubris of "our best and brightest" like their Founding Fathers in the "Enlightenment" lead them to disasterous decisions. Like Adam and Eve, they believed that the "magic Apple" (their Ivy Leageue Educations) would make them like G0ds.
But this is even too stupid for them to believe. They just think that we are too stupid to figure out their scam, or the "bewildered herd" is simply too preoccupied with sex and gossip to pay attention to their grand larceny of the public kitty.

Mike| 11.17.11 @ 11:57AM

Steven Chu is a liar, he facilated the $535 million loan to Solyndra, receving millions of dollars of contribution to the Obama campaign, lied to the Congress and the American people, must be indicted for treason, conspiracy, and abuse of power, and must be punished and imprisoned for life. Chu must resign and go to prison.

DTOM| 11.17.11 @ 12:23PM

He should be tried for treason and then executed by lawfully appointed executioners.

shipley130| 11.17.11 @ 12:11PM

We need to build a green energy prison and put all these A-holes in it for life.

TROYHE| 11.17.11 @ 12:36PM

Chu may be a Nobel prize recipient, but along with the rest of the loons in the WH, they failure
is brilliant because of no common sense.

David| 11.17.11 @ 12:54PM

Let's not forget, the RINO Bush started this whole loan/bailout mess. He handed the socialist keys to a socialist/commie that hates this country. And now that we suffer with this jerk in the White House that RINO Bush won't even call him out as the Amercian hater he is.
Thank you RINO Bush.

JFGalt| 11.17.11 @ 12:54PM

I for one am proud of an American president and his underlings that are fully prepared to expend every cent in America's treasury, to forfeit every American life, to destroy America itself in support of what they knows to be right despite all evidence to the contrary or the will of the people!

I just don't understand how can manage to get through the average doorway with a head and ego that big. Maybe the Secret Service changes them before he goes somewhere.

nofanofabum| 11.17.11 @ 3:44PM

I am a chinese American, but I am totally ashame of S. Chu. He is nothing but a political hack and a buma as* kissing guy. Why is most American born Chinese so much like the American Jew as to be mostly liber leftist?

NoFan; I'm a pink American, but I'm with you. I'm my travels, 46 states and 16 countries I learned one thing "There are good people and a small number of A-holes everywhere" Obama and Chu are the later.

Marc Jeric| 11.17.11 @ 4:10PM

Well, well...Dr. Chu is, in the opinion of this PhD in Engineering, just a commie hack and ignoramus in thermodynamics.
Solar energy is:
1) Unavailable 65% of the times (nights, clouds, early mornings and late afternoons);
2) When available it is 5-10 times more costly;
3) It is the result of the continuous hydrogen nuclear bomb explosions of the Sun.
But then what qualifies "Dr." Chu for his position are his unshakeable marxist opinions on the subject of "social justice". As in the example of the Nobel Prize for Abu Hussein al-Mombassa (or whatever Kenyan hellhole that marxist Muslim was born in) who got his Nobel for exactly nothing, that ignoramus Chu got his Nobel...for what exactly? Green energy?

Speedypete| 11.17.11 @ 7:15PM

"Mr. Chu is pleading stupidity." Well say I: "Plea accepted, judgement entered."......now for the penalty.....

Tony in Central PA| 11.17.11 @ 8:50PM

The only involvenment the government should possibly ever have with " alternative energy " is funding research. It would be a heck of a lot cheaper than officials who not only nothing about business but also have no common sense betting on companies and paying off their cronies at the expense of Mr. Joe Taxpayer.

Aiken_Bob| 11.17.11 @ 9:45PM

The real sad part of this is that the Dept of Energy was NEVER in the 'business' of making loans for startups at this scale. This is just another example of stimulus money going to the dems favorite political contributors.

bluecollarbytes| 11.17.11 @ 11:22PM

I assume every Nobel prize has a political angle, so Chu's means as much as the one gifted to Obama. Obama has done more to encourage disrespect towards 'the credentialed' than any other leftist in recent memory.

coyoteblackgreen| 11.19.11 @ 11:37AM

It is utterly amazing that people of this ilk seem to rise to positions of political and financial power - then arrogantly abuse the trust handed to them and then refuse to recognize any responsibility whatsoever for incredible ineptitude. Put in place by others with similiar "credentials" qualifying this privilaged elite group for leadership.

Of course, there is the alternative explanation... that this type of behavior, these policies and actions are part of a much more sinister agenda...
one that bankrupts and cripples our nation..
wow... another conspiricy theory is born every day.....
