Obama Was Aware of Big Problems at Fisker Before Handing Out $529 Million Loan

Obama Was Aware of Big Problems at Fisker Before Handing Out $529 Million LoanObama and his cronies are complete fucking criminals! Is this REALLY news? Why is everyone so f’ing stupid?

After all of the green energy failures that Obama has presided over, we are now starting to get breaking reports that the Obama administration knew about, and ignored serious pre-existing problems with the each of the companies that he threw $ billions of our money at?

Every one of the green energy companies that Obama wasted our money on were already dead, shells of companies that were designed to take huge loans from the government, and then file bankruptcy. Allowing Obama’s friends and supporters who ran the shill companies to pocket $ millions of free money, in return for campaign bundling, and voter fraud.

Newly released documents show that the Obama administration was warned as early as 2010 that electric car maker Fisker Automotive Inc. was not meeting milestones set up for a half-billion dollar government loan, nearly a year before U.S. officials froze the loan after questions were raised about the company’s statements.

An Energy Department official said in a June 2010 email that Fisker’s bid to draw on the federal loan may be jeopardized for failure to meet goals established by the Energy Department.

Despite that warning, Fisker continued to receive money until June 2011, when the DOE halted further funding. The agency did so after Fisker presented new information that called into question whether key milestones — including launch of the company’s signature, $100,000 Karma hybrid — had been achieved, according to a credit report prepared by the Energy Department.

The December 2011 credit report said “DOE staff asked questions about the delays” in the launch of the Karma “and received varied and incomplete explanations,” leading to the suspension of the loan. Fisker had received a total of $192 million of the $529 million loan before it was suspended.

In the June 2010 email, Sandra Claghorn, an official in DOE’s loan program office, had written that Fisker “may be in limbo due to a lack of compliance with financial covenants” set up by the Energy Department to protect taxpayers in the event of default. Another document, from April 2010, listed milestones that Fisker had not yet met.

Aoife McCarthy, a spokeswoman for the Energy Department, said the June 2010 email was taken out of context.

“The document shows that one person at a meeting discussed the possibility that Fisker might not meet a financial commitment” required by the Energy Department, McCarthy said in an email late Tuesday. DOE received the needed certification five days later and subsequently made the loan payment, she said.

The Associated Press obtained the Fisker documents ahead of a House hearing scheduled for Wednesday on the federal loan to the troubled car maker, which has laid off three-fourths of its workers amid continuing financial and production problems.
