$535M in Fed. loans gone, it’s really amazing how quickly these firms go bust when the Fed money is gone. Shockingly, it seems that one of the principals behind the VC money at Solyndra is Obama bundler George Kaiser. /snark.

Great video at the link highlights another $512M loan to another Obama bundler, Steve Westly. Another story from Brian Ross covers the nearly $500M loan to Tesla and Obama supporter, Elon Musk (a different loan to SpaceX benefits Musk as well).
Also, the Center for Public Integrity reports that the loans to Solyndra were already being investigated by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce which has been stonewalled by the Obama Administration until recently.
