“pushing federal agencies to release as much government data as possible to the public”

How about demanding Holder release information on ‘Fast & Furious’ to prove it!

According to White House visitor logs, Heather Podesta visited the White House eight times in Obama’s first six months alone.

Brookfield, meanwhile, is a Toronto, Ontario-based asset management company that manages a global portfolio of assets valued at over $120 billion. The firm’s assets include not only renewable power generation but also real estate, including some of Manhattan’s most famous skyline buildings.

Brookfield also happens to own Zuccotti Park, the park where the Occupy Wall Street protesters are currently holed up.

“a traitor and can be accurately described as an enemy within”

Article IV Sec 3 paragraph 2:

The CONGRESS (not the DOE) shall have power to DISPOSE of and make all NEEDFUL (???) rules and regulations respecting the Territory or other PROPERTY belonging to the United States.

Since we are Never going to see ANY return on this blatant Graft, it qualifies as DISPOSING of Property belonging to the United States.

Does this "loan guarantee" transaction mean that the federal government is essentially making a "loan" to this "green energy" entity for development of wind power, and has agreed that it will do nothing against the firm in the event of default? If so, this might as well be considered a government giveaway, since the chances of a wind power enterprise succeeding in the US are slim and none.

The article failed to mention that Podesta himself is a Washington lobbyist in his family firm which bears his name. Furthermore, Podesta's long history as a Washington Democrat operative includes a stint in the White House as Clinton's chief of staff, where he was a major player in the granting of the controversial pardons at the end of Clinton's term.

Actually, I thought it was unnecessary; that FReepers were intelligent enough to ‘get’ sarcasm without the tag.
