President Obama Forgets he signaled a new corruption-free era in Washington. But AFP activists want to remind him of that he wasted taxpayer money on a green jobs scam at Solyndra, gave preferential health care exemptions to his political allies and funded an organization accused of voter fraud.

President Obama’s stimulus package set up a $535 million loan for a solar energy company, Solyndra . The solar energy company not only was facing bad financial prospects, but received heavy investment from one of Obama’s top campaign contributors: George Kaiser. Despite receiving signs the company was about to go under, Obama continued to funnel taxpayer money into the failing business and tried his administration’s ties to the company’s funders.

Health care reform is another area where Obama’s corruption is apparent. The President held closed-door meetings with interest groups like the AFL-CIO and other labor unions. Later, he issued waivers for a unions and unionized companies so they wouldn’t be adversely affected by his new health care law. As a result, companies like AT&T projected higher costs of doing business, while unions got a break. In other words, what’s good for taxpaying Americans isn’t necessarily good for Obama’s political base and he rewarded his friends.

Finally, Obama passed a stimulus spending bill that gave handouts to Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) , an organization repeatedly convicted of voter fraud . Instead of using his power to promote prosperity, Obama is choosing winners and losers in an already corrupted economy.
