Obama attends fundraiser hosted by wind kingpin

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

The cycle continues. President Obama travels to an urban area to promote his jobs bill, gives a speech, then attends high dollar fundraisers hosted by supporters in the area.

Last weekend, his cash dash led him to seven fundraisers in two days on the East Coast.

Yesterday he attended four fundraisers, including one at the the home of Tom Carnahan, the founder of Wind Capital Group.

Carnahan hosted approximately 45 people who contributed at least $25,000 to attend.

Tom Carnahan is the son of former Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan and former U.S. Senator Jean Carnahan of Missouri.

His brother Russ currently serves as a U.S. Congressman for the state of Missouri, and his sister Robin is the current Missouri Secretary of State, who ran against Republican Sen. Kit Bond of Missouri in 2010.

Last year, Wind Capital's Lost Creek Farm facility received a $107 million "tax credit" from the Treasury Department under the stimulus bill.

Carnahan donated $30,500 to the DNC this year and has already maxed out his donations to Obama's re-election campaign.

Carnahan also donated $7,500 to the American Wind Energy Association, a lobbying organization promoting wind energy, and $1,000 to his brother's re-election campaign.

How appropriate, what with Obama being the King of Wind.

RandyM!

 

I am glad you controlled yourself and did not say King of Hot Farts. The TRR board tries their darndest to run a respectable site here.
