I am just gobsmacked at the pretzels the Libs are twisting into, to justify this corruption.
Did you read the article?

The loan did not go to one of Pelosi's relatives.

The loan did not even go to a company which one of Pelosi's relatives is an employee or officer of.

What in the world makes you think I share her ideology? Are you in the habit of making things up as you go along? I simply don't think it's right to bear false witness, plain and simple.

There was outrage.

Actually, no. If you want it done now, then you call Haliburton, because they are the only ones in a position to do it now.

Why do you think Iran was contracting Haliburton? Didn't know that did you. Nope. Haliburton was in Iran until like 2 years ago or so when the US ordered them to leave.

Haliburton is an oil service company. They build, maintain and repair the infrastructure for oil and natural gas. There are maybe 2 other companies on the Planet that have their abilities, one is Gazprom, but even they contract out to Haliburton (the other is a German company).

Let's break this down, shall we?

Obama
No it was not Obama, it was the DoE.

Gives
The DoE didn't *give* anyone anything; the $737 Mil is in the form of a loan guarantee.
Yeah, well, we smelled this same stench with Solyndra, and perhaps you need to verse yourself with the Solyndra Fairy Tale Storybook Hour and in particular Obama's campaign contribution relationships with Solyndra personnel (and other companies).
