Sorry, liberals, but Solyndra is a real scandal

Published November 9, 2011 5:00am ET



When it was reported that Obama fundraiser and top Solyndra fundraiser George Kaiser met at the White House on multiple occasions, top White House officials asserted “the White House now firmly believes that [Solyndra investor and Obama fundraiser George] Kaiser never broached the subject of the Solyndra loan,” in the words of ABC’s Matthew Mosk. Kaiser said Solyndra never came up in these meetings.

New emails show that the subsidized bankrupt politically connected solar panel company was a topic of meetings when Kaiser and his lieutenants met at the White House. In fact, Kaiser & crew used their access to the White House to push for taxpayer subsidies.
