EXCERPTS:

Billionaire George Kaiser, a key fund-raiser for President Obama, visited with White House officials about now-bankrupt Solyndra, and suggested the solar panel company “was one of their prime poster children” for renewable energy.

Kaiser acted as a bundler for the Obama campaign, raising $50,000 to $100,000.

“They about had an orgasm in Biden’s office when we mentioned Solyndra,” said one e-mail from Ken Levit, executive director of Kaiser’s foundation.

“That’s awesome!” said the response from Steve Mitchell, an official with Kaiser’s venture capital firm Argonaut.  “Get us a DOE [Energy Department?] loan.”

“They’re making the mistake that every White House makes—slow down the development of the documents, decide they’re not going to comply, redact the documents to no end,” Boehner said.
