Newly uncovered emails show the White House closely monitored the Energy Department's deliberations over a $535 million government loan to Solyndra, the politically-connected solar energy firm that recently went bankrupt and is now the subject of a criminal investigation.
The company's solar panel factory was heralded as a centerpiece of the president's green energy plan -- billed as a way to jump start a promising new industry. And internal emails uncovered by investigators for the House Energy and Commerce Committee that were shared exclusively with ABC News show the Obama administration was keenly monitoring the progress of the loan, even as analysts were voicing serious concerns about the risk involved. "This deal is NOT ready for prime time," one White House budget analyst wrote in a March 10, 2009 email, nine days before the administration formally announced the loan.
"If you guys think this is a bad idea, I need to unwind the W[est] W[ing] QUICKLY," wrote Ronald A. Klain, who was chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, in another email sent March 7, 2009. The "West Wing" is the portion of the White House complex that holds the offices of the president and his top staffers. Klain declined comment to ABC News.
Beginning in March, ABC News, in partnership with the Center for Public Integrity's iWatch News, was first to report on simmering questions about the role political influence may have played in Solyndra's selection as the Obama administration's first loan guarantee recipient. Federal auditors had flagged the loan, saying some applicants had benefitted from special treatment.
The emails were uncovered by investigators for the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which will hold hearings on the Solyndra loan Wednesday.

The ONLY hope for the democraps in 2012 is to dump Obama, replace him wih HilLIARy, let her claim to want to dismantle obmacare as ‘faulty legislation’ and criticize the republicans if they select Srah Palin to run against her as ‘copycats running a woman against a woman...
Actually- that IS their only hope... dont anyone tell them
GreenGate?
C’mon Issa, trap these Rats.
I think you are right. A lot of Dems are figuring out that when Obama goes down he is going to go down hard. And he will take a lot of Senators and Congressman go down with him. When we see Fast and Furious and Porkulus corruption going mainstream it is a sure sign the Dem sharks smell blood in the water and are closing in.
The media has packed its seabag so much for Barry, that some of the BS is bound to spill out - it’s just too much even for the most rabid cheerleaders to handle. (I like mixed metaphors.)
SubjuGate
Of course she says no. How could she say otherwise right now? Don’t underestimate the left’s desire to win.
In all fairness Clinton’s big scandal was that he like to screw interns. Obama’s scandals is much more serious..
Degenerate socialist crooks ought to be set adrift on an iceberg.
The muzzie in chief from Kenya can steer.
How about Greengate? Oh but the media would NEVER pair the sacred word “green” with anything unseemly! So we’ll just go with PieInTheSkyBelievingAnyoneCanAffordSolarPanelsinObama’sCrappyEconomyMuchLessEvenWanttheUglyDamnedThingsonTheirRoofsGate

Green jobs, orange jumpsuits.
does this country have the counter-political correctness
skills to impeach a black “intelligent” president?
No thanks to Special Prosecutor Ken Starr for having people think this today.
Have you forgotten the more than 60 suspicious (single car accidents, suicides, etc) deaths of people closely connected to Clinton? Have you forgotten all the Chinese funny money and the more than 100 who plead the fifth by having their lawyers write letters to inform the committees that had subpoenaed them? The stupid Republicans didn't bother to require them to come in and thus have the best all-time video collage of Dem operatives and contributors raising their right hand and pleading the fifth publicly. There is so much more. There are probably many archived threads on Clinton and his horrow stories.
Yes ma’am! I’m with you on that.
One hand turnaround? That's just ghetto.
The Diane Sawyer report tonight ended with “but these sorts of loans can be quite risky”. End of story. It’ll all disappear down the old memory hold in a day or two. Now, if it were “Bush”, it would be rehashed every hour on the hour. - Did Obama or any other Democrats get any kickback in the way of campaign funds? (We’s being cuckolded, guys!)
Well done.
The death toll of that is staggering and ongoing.
That there Billy Jeff is one evil sumbeach, and his little dawg too!
Clinton was screwing more than just interns. . .but it is a testament of how bad Obama is. . in that he is able to make us wax for the good ol days of Clinton and his much nicer brand of treason.
