His sun god arrogance in pursuing his green agenda, still handing out loans (guarantees) in the face of the looming Solyndra loss, the Chicago Way cronyism gone to Washington writ large:
The Obama White House tried to rush federal reviewers for a decision on a nearly half-billion-dollar loan to the solar-panel manufacturer Solyndra so Vice President Biden could announce the approval at a September 2009 groundbreaking for the company’s factory, newly obtained e-mails show. [snip]
The e-mail exchanges could intensify questions about whether the administration was playing favorites and made costly errors while choosing the first recipient of a loan guarantee under its stimulus program. Solyndra’s biggest investors were funds operated on behalf of the family foundation of Tulsa billionaire and Obama fundraiser George Kaiser. Although he has been a frequent White House visitor, Kaiser has said he did not use political influence to win approval of the loan.
The White House has previously said that it had no involvement in the Solyndra loan application and that all decisions were made by career officials based on the merits of the company. [snip]
In one e-mail, an assistant to Rahm Emanuel, then White House chief of staff, wrote on Aug. 31, 2009, to OMB about the upcoming Biden announcement on Solyndra and asked whether “there is anything we can help speed along on OMB side.”In over his head.
Now, meltdown in New York 9, the first Republican elected since 1922. That's the year my dear old dad, now gone, was born.
Is it still good to be king, Barack.
More. In case you missed it: New DOE loans support green Obama-backers Indeed.
