President Barack Obama will raise money in early October with a Missouri businessman whose company benefited from a $107 million federal tax credit to develop a wind power facility in his state.
Tom Carnahan, a scion of Missouri’s most prominent Democratic political family, is listed on Obama’s campaign website as a host of a $25,000-per-person fundraiser to be held in St. Louis on October 4. Continue Reading
His energy development firm, Wind Capital Group, was helped by a sizable credit authorized in the stimulus, for an energy project in northwest Missouri.
Republicans argue that it’s inappropriate for the Obama campaign to raise money from a donor who has benefited directly from the Recovery Act.
Missouri Republican Party executive director Lloyd Smith compared the situation to the Solyndra affair, in which the Obama administration reportedly rushed federal support to a green-energy firm that subsequently collapsed.

A clan of white-trash, trailer-park hillbilly sneak-thieves are "Missouri's most prominent political family."
Isn't that special?
What a lousy freaking excuse for a president!
It's a shame America has let politicians insulate themselves from the law.
Anybody know how much of the stimulus went to “green companies”? It has to be a lot - not even counting Solyndra.
I guess there is a swamp Pelois forgot to drain
Wow! That “picking the winners and losers” thing from the White Crib’s Central PLanning Committee is hard! They always seem to pick the losers, and we’re ALWAYS the losers.

Gee, what a surprise. The son of a Democrat senator with no experience in the energy business gets $107 million in Federal tax credits plus who knows what other political favors.
How long will it take to realize that these “green” energy projects don’t make economic sense and their only purpose is to allow the politically connected access to taxpayer money?
Low volume ping list
FReepmail me to be on, or off, this list.
Where is the KC Star on this? I forgot, they’re busy attacking Kinder for sitting on the Tour of Missouri board.
Y’know, it’s tough finding non-white-trash political ‘families’ in Missouri, said he, speaking as a multi-decade resident of said state.
Tough finding non-black-trash political ‘families’, too.
With any luck, though, the last of the Mohicans, er, Carnahans, will be looking for other dishonest work after the next election.
Russ, Russ, bo Buss,

Bye, Russ.
I want to be at that fundraiser..
I’ve waited 3 years for a chance to tell the Carnahans and obummer what I think of them.
“A clan of white-trash, trailer-park hillbilly sneak-thieves”....that’s too funny! Those carnahans are surely Show-Me State crackers, masquerading as well funded renewable energy titans.
oh, then you know the Carny’s...?
My wallet knows them.
I know how they stole the governorship when their drunk old man died in a plane crash.
