The Chicago way – more like the Mafia every day:
After two studies refuted President Barack Obama’s assertions regarding the success of Spain’s and Denmark’s wind energy programs, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveals the Department of Energy turned to George Soros and to wind industry lobbyists to attack the studies.
Via the FOIA request, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has learned that the Department of Energy — specifically the office headed by Al Gore’s company’s former CEO, Cathy Zoi — turned to George Soros’ Center for American Progress and other wind industry lobbyists to help push Obama’s wind energy proposals.
The FOIA request was not entirely complied with, and CEI just filed an appeal over documents still being withheld. In addition to withholding many internal communications, the administration is withholding communications with these lobbyists and other related communications, claiming they constitute “inter-agency memoranda.” This implies that, according to the DoE, wind industry lobbyists and Soros’s Center for American Progress are — for legal purposes — extensions of the government.
This is the change we can believe in? If by “change” you mean “corrupt, liberal financial sharks get to run the show” then, yes, this is the change.
I think they’re getting a bit desperate over there in liberal-land. Things haven’t worked out quite as hoped – and as things fall apart, they are making ever more mistakes. In this case, first going within a country mile of George Soros; second in not coming 100% clean on it, right out the gate.
I think this whole mess of an Administration will just get worse as time goes on – there are no adults minding the store.
