It’s as if Solyndra never happened.

The Obama Administration is giving $737 million to a Tonopah Solar, a subsidiary of California-based SolarReserve. PCG is an investment partner (http://americanglob.com/2011/09/28/solyndra-redux-obama-gives-737-million-dollar-loan-to-solar-company-connected-to-nancy-pelosis-brother-in-law/ - broken link) with SolarReserve. Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law happens to be the number two man at PCG.


Crony Socialism: Obama Gives $737 Million to Solar Firm Linked to the Pelosi Clan

Don't you just love the historic levels of corporate cronyism going on in the 0bama administration? As 0bama has said:

"We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us."

Pelosi's wealth grows by 62 percent

What does Pelosi's BIL have to do with her wealth? This is really really farfetched!

And why didn't you post the link to the article that describes the increase in wealth of other congressmen as well?

Senate leaders see their wealth rise - The Hill's On The Money

What is really the issue?

Is it that some Republicans can't stand the concept of Democrats being wealthy?

Is it the hatred that some Republicans have for a grandmother of six who is successful, wealthy, has a squeaky clean personal life and is NOT a Republican?

Why the defense for the cronyism? Why the defense for such an anti American person? I guess this hit your sore spot.

This doesn't concern you at all? Are there no other companies, ones that do not smack of cronyism, that could benefit from this program? I find it odd that you claim it is "hate" when one points out the hypocrisy and cronyism that has thus far been rampant in this administration.

This guy knows he is going to lose, so he is trying to steal as much money as he can from us while he is still in power..he belongs in jail.

Thanks for missing the point.

You do not see a problem with 0bama's out of control crony capitalism, or the fact that Pelosi's wealth happened to increase by 62%, at the same time 0bama has spent us $4.5 trillion dollars into debt? Someone is collecting all that money, and it's not you and me. Problem is, if the crony capitalists are democrats, the lib'tards are fine with it.

The larger point is time after time we see cronyism which allows politicians who are elected to the congress or the senate, come into Washington, living under modest means, and when they leave office, they and their family members and friends, are millionaires.

For a politician's wealth to increase that much during a recession when many Americans are out of work and struggling on government food stamps is vulgar.

Where was the outrage from the right when Bush and Cheney were sending billions to Haliburton (Cheney's OLD job) in Iraq?

Where there no other companies that could have done the same (and not LOST - wink, wink - so much money)?
