Obama fundraisers 'tied to green firms that received federal cash'

The MSM are  at last waking up to the huge  implications of Solyndra and Energygate. ABC reports:
"Several of Barack Obama's top campaign supporters went from soliciting political contributions to working from within the Energy Department as it showered billions in taxpayer-backed stimulus money on alternative energy firms, ABC News and iWatch News have learned.
 "One of them was Steven J. Spinner, a high-tech consultant and energy investor who raised at least $500,000 for the candidate. He became one of Energy Secretary Steven Chu's key loan program advisors while his wife's law firm represented a number of companies that had applied for loans." Read the full ABC report.  
     Doug Ross has been following this story  closely and has  an excellent  take on the situation here.
     With Congressional Republicans now digging into the affair, it looks like a real game-changer.
