Obama attends fundraiser hosted by wind kingpin
The Washington Examiner ^ | 10/5/11 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/05/2011 1:03:15 PM PDT by theruleshavechanged

Yesterday Obama attended four fundraisers, including one at the the home of Tom Carnahan, the founder of Wind Capital Group.

Carnahan hosted approximately 45 people who contributed at least $25,000 to attend.

Tom Carnahan is the son of former Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan and former U.S. Senator Jean Carnahan of Missouri.

His brother Russ currently serves as a U.S. Congressman for the state of Missouri, and his sister Robin is the current Missouri Secretary of State, who ran against Republican Sen. Kit Bond of Missouri in 2010.

Last year, Wind Capital's Lost Creek Farm facility received a $107 million "tax credit" from the Treasury Department under the stimulus bill.

Carnahan donated $30,500 to the DNC this year and has already maxed out his donations to Obama's re-election campaign.

Carnahan also donated $7,500 to the American Wind Energy Association, a lobbying organization promoting wind energy, and $1,000 to his brother's re-election campaign.

Ah the Carnahans, redneck Kennedys right down to the DUI’s and sense of entitlement.

And no mention of Ma McCaskill? Oh, I know, she’s hiding behind the bed pans in one of her hubby’s nursing homes so as to avoid being connected with the Golfer In Chief!

These articles make my blood boil.

It's absolute, incontrovertible theft of our national wealth.

Rich, politically-connected jackasses give tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and causes and are openly rewarded with hundreds of millions of dollars in tax-payer-provided cash.

Why is nobody being shot?

I wonder why some of the “anti-capitalist” shit-heels currently “occupying” cities all around the country did not come out to protest...

Perhaps this isn’t the best time to mention that the mean asking price for homes for sale today on this stretch of street is $1,488,000,000.

Must be some windfall profits.

Yep, another “green” energy suckup... and we should be reminded that “green” is the color of money, and it has absolutely nothing to do with this environmentally friendly crap. Prez Zippy, ready to write another check using OUR MONEY, quid pro quo for his fund raiser. What a bunch of loons!

Post #10 should read 1.488 million, not billion. Sorry about the bad math.
