80% of all DOE loans went to Top Obama donors (Larry Summers!)

Big Govt ^ | 11/17/2011 | Wynton Hall

[GlockThe Vote]

With Energy Secretary Steven Chu set to testify Thursday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee about the government’s $573 million loan to failed solar panel maker Solyndra, an explosive new list of energy loan amounts to President Obama’s top fundraisers, bundlers, and supporters has been released by Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer, author of Throw Them All Out.

As the list reveals, 80 percent of all $20.5 billion in Department of Energy loans went to President Obama’s top donors. Furthermore, some of those dwarf in size those given to Obama bundler George Kaiser, owner of the now defunct Solyndra.

The list—which features the likes of Google owners Larry Page and Sergey Brinn, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ted Turner, John Doerr, and Al Gore—raises new questions about the procedures used to administer the now-controversial DOE loans.

Dead on.

And that huge govt loan comes from you and me and EVERYONE who has worked and paid taxes.

We should and I will DEMAND from my congressman and senators that this money be ACCOUNTED FOR PENNY BY PENNY and that EACH DONOR's name be made public as associated with any benefit received from those govt bail outs or loans (oh sure- LOAN! MBFA!)

This is the most horrific abuse and misuse of the our money (aside from the union bail outs) I know of....never mind SIXTEEN DOLLAR MUFFINS, etc.

We must take action.

Please call your congressman, please call your senators and demand that this be stopped and all accountable be made known PUBLICALLY, both those who cut the checks at DOE, and the donors who benefited from the huge amounts of money STOLEN from our treasury in order to pump up donors. The govt employees involved should be forced to name those in the administration who suggested the deals and the DOE govt personel and those in the administration should be FIRED. And if uhbama's ugly name arises in this horrific favoritism, bring him before congress. If he is party to this charade-------------IMPEACH HIM. Now. (Give Hillary her first orgasm in years!)

Not surprised to see al gore's name in the mire-his actions are pure filth; he should turn around his global warning scam and target it at himself.

Obama needs to go to prison.

80% of all DOE loans went to Top Obama donors.

Obviously someone screwed up--20% of the money went to people who shouldn't have gotten any. Whoever is responsible for that oversight should be canned immediately!

[GlockThe Vote]

Can you post the list at the site? Its horrendos.

[DustyMoment]

80% of all DOE loans went to Top Obama donors

Gee, what a (non) surprise. This pattern by Obama has been repeated over and over since he was sworn in. When he took over Chrysler, virtually all of the dealers he forced to close were . . . . . . NOT supporters of his!!

[Verginius Rufus]

I don’t have the list—the information may be in the book but I don’t have a copy of that. I didn’t start this thread.

[GeronL]

Sory about that, I’ll try to be more direct next time.

[GeronL]

I emailed this to the local rag and the DC Examiner too, just to see what happens.

[melancholy]

GeronL,

Great post!

It’s sent to family and friends, credited to you.

Thank you.

[GeronL]

Its almost a lunar pile of crap

[GeronL]

I am just calculating the odds of the local rag printing it as a letter to the editor, but I’m not sure I can count that low. Must be 0.0000000000001% chance.

[GlockThe Vote]

I put this on facebook and one of my lib friends tried justifying this and I pounced on her.

[GeronL]

It’s nothing more than a political slushfund just like “stimulus”

[azishot]

Thanks for the ping, mel. And BRAVO to an excellent post by GeronL.

I just sent it around to my email list and to a few media people.

[Political Junkie Too]

I bet that Obama is handing out all the accumulated top secrets of our government, too.

That was my biggest fear when the Left finally got the keys to the top secret file cabinet.
