The Department of Energy awards company with ties to Van Jones a $2 million grant

June 15, 2012

    After failing to learn from his disastrous decision to spend billions of dollars of stimulus money on green energy companies which have either failed or are about to fail Barack Obama is at it once again, this time in the form of Department of Energy grants. And, although the grants don’t amount to nearly the same amount of money as the failed stimulus loans there is a glaring similarity, much of the money is going to people who just happen to have ties to Barack Obama.

  According to this article one company got four times as much money ($2 million) than the average company which received grants from the Department of Energy under this new initiative; that company is called Solar Mosaic and just happens to have ties to the communist sympathizing, 9/11 truther, and former Barack Obama “green czar,” Van Jones. What a coincidence!

  When Barack Obama was running for the office he now holds he railed against crony capitalism and promised to bring this practice to an end, but if there is one thing the stimulus bill taught us it is that crony capitalism is alive and well in Washington, the only change Barack Obama has brought us is a change in where our money is going.

    Obama is not going to stop this practice. It’s the Chicago way and that is how he was trained. Didn’t he promise something about transparency?

      I thought he did Jim, but I must have been mistaken because Obama would never break a promise. 🙂

    Good catch on this I had not heard anything about this elsewhere.

    It is not only cronyism, a waste of money, but Jones is also a racist America-hater of the first degree.

      Thanks Harrison, it is amazing that he can keep throwing this money at something that simply is not viable and nobody in the media thinks it is newsworthy.
