Took them long enough to get the Jimmy Carter solar panels back up there!

But they are there now.

1. Finally!

Those workers looked like Union members which is great also.

These are two things you did Mr. President that your "man" Reagan would not do.
Please refute his economic policies as insanity and get rid of your bankster "advisers" too.

[mucifer]

2. Agreed. Also, Bill Clinton had 8 years in that house and he coulda put them back up.

11. Instead

he did away with Glass-Steagal.
IMO, the greatest piece of legislation ever passed to reign in the banksters.
It is amazing what you can get by with if you have a (D) behind your name.

4. 33 years after Reagan took 'em down

Where would we be if we had "stayed the course?"

5. Reason 79,641 why we need to elect more Democrats

Republis are a step backwards.

Vote in November

Vote for only Democrats

Get involved.

Get others to vote for Democrats.

NO
MORE
REPUBLIS.

7. years ago when I was a kid our next door neighbor's brother (in a very middle class neighborhood) ..

.... was the governor of PA, Ray Shafer, and he was smart, a very nice man,
and he worked for education, infrastructure, civil rights, supported unions,
he was pro environment, and he was republican too. Ray would have no home
in the republican party today because they really have gone bat shit crazy.

For the life of me I don't know why anybody outside of the very rich, bigots,
or fundy nut jobs would ever vote republican. Hell, they tried to get rid of
overtime pay last year.

[AAO]

10. There are a lot of bigots out there. And they vote!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. I wonder how many Republicans watched this so they know how to tear them down.

8. Not too surprisingly...

It goes against the libertarian philosophy to tax anything. They also like to be independent from civilization.

So, we shouldn't be too surprised to find a rift in the tea partiers and the Koch Brothers - when it comes to the Koch brothers taxing their competition in the energy industry.

It may not be purely in line with the topic of the thread, but I think it's kind of an interesting development. Republican governors having the guts to stand up for solar energy.

9. Good news! Of course Carter's were solar heaters (of water) not electric generation, and

they were not ON the White House itself...

However, the old panels still found use after Reagan **decided** not to reinstall them

12. America is a socialist nation,

IF you are wealthy.
We should be a Democratic Socialist country FOR ALL.
