Another Obama Green Baron gets a DOE Guaranteed Loan




Another one of Obama’s Green Barons received a Department of Energy guaranteed loan. And of course the latest offender just happened to be a campaign bundler for the Anointed One.

The Sunlight Foundation notes that Bohemian Companies, which was founded by billionaire and Obama bundler Pat Stryker, participated with other companies in the "second institutional equity round of financing" in 2008 for Abound Solar, which recieved $104 million total through that round of financing.

Stryker gave $50,000 to Obama's inauguration,
according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and raised a further $87,000 for the inauguration. Stryker has since donated $35,800 to the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, Sunlight reports.


One year after Bohemian invested in Abound, and a year before the DOE granted a loan guarantee, Stryker visited the White House. "The White House did not confirm that the visitor was the Pat Stryker in question and did not provide details about the meeting," Sunlight says.

This green energy debacle has more layers than an onion. I wonder if we’ll ever get to the bottom of this stench.
