Hey you build this expanded facility as you fill orders for solar panels -- around the world.

Your demonstrating that the promise of clean energy isn't just an article of faith not anymore it's not.

Some abstract possibility for science fiction movies are -- distant future.

Ten years down -- twenty years on the road it's happening right now.

The future is here.

That was President Obama back in May heralding the good work of so -- -- energy is solar panel manufacturer that is now gone bust.

-- and with 500 million dollars in government guaranteed loans on the sidelines and this is power play thanks very much for coming back Internet.

We love you we love to have you here just a -- AB Stoddard from.

On the hill who is here who is always making it better for us making us smart enough to hold -- cold fire here.

And we are joined now also.

By Charles.

365.

Dot com.

You probably stealing our viewers that size but Charles is good at what -- -- good to have you with that is going to be here okay now.

Before you've got here we were talking.

With Jackie Kucinich from USA today.

About what the president can do in his speech on Thursday.

That -- operations between a very.

-- made a -- jobs numbers -- today everybody believes that the double dip.

Recession is either here or about to be here it's sort of like waiting for the hurricanes make landfall -- like at what point does this happen now.

One thing that's complicated present situation this week Charles is the fact that.

This solar panel manufacturer out in California which was sort of the poster child.

Before.

His Green stimulus initiative.

Has gone the blue.

500 million dollars in loans to -- and now and there are beyond that allegations from Republicans in the house that the money was given and a and suitable way that it was engaged in a donor favoritism political favoritism.

Is this change to any degree how much the president is able to continue to talk about Green energy Green jobs stimulus stuff like that.

It does say it's -- again kind of between a rock and hard place situation for the president -- -- -- humidity that kind.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Is the type of situation where you know being one level it's about competing bases.

You know there's been a lot of -- thrown his very loyal African American base in fact who.

Will -- for him to be -- much more aggressive when the situation right now the 16%.

Black unemployment rate -- feel like Green jobs gets all from that point right thumb war -- did some way from addressing kind of that -- struggle and a lot of the pain that's going on out there now on main street com and a lot of urban corridors as well so they feel like Green jobs well you know you just heard the president talk about it being in the abstract.

-- -- -- -- abstract right now they wanna hear about tangible stuff that they don't feel.

A job that they can get tomorrow.

Right now in the here and now they don't want to hear about the future and so while some locals is understandable you know that the president is trying to sort of -- game was a look at things -- this is that a provision for the long term.

-- people have been -- so much you have so many long term unemployed and that's.

I'm pretty much true with revision reflected in the recent unemployment numbers where you have the economist even somewhat detached from the reality on the ground.

They're basically saying oh well -- where they were estimating last month okay we're gonna have about 68035000.

Jobs we got.

Flat growth in terms of jobs this past month and -- great -- much flipping jobs on personal.

Well it'll be interesting if they can find -- way kid you know massage this and and come up with something.

Green jobs sound wonderful we need jobs we need to greater dependency on foreign oil.

We need to innovation in this country here.

We need new energy sources and mean it it it really is is a worthy goal -- -- it is.

I think that Charles is right it is just not only to conservatives.

That now on and on the liberal side of the Democratic Party.

Just you much happy talk.

And some funny practices of the Department of Energy it's probably something He could save for another time.

Charles W I'm the last word what you under the president's Amber's you don't read I want you the president be a little bit here is sort of -- and Al Pacino in the lock -- Any given Sunday and that that was the best of the best monologues and in -- -- history that that's what you need for this type of situation when you're talking about.

-- job.

-- an artist and did you you need to know F bombs I don't know sergeant Cabrera like -- yeah yeah.

Didn't want that people that He kind of does this tough kind of moment you know this inspirational -- -- -- On the Scottish hero on the you know with the blue paint them or is there -- ruining the enemy I mean they they wanna see -- -- you just started right there Charles Ellison is calling for profanity and a public but -- showing by the president next Thursday night because there's all its long ago that nobody's gonna watch the football dangled over.
