Bill Daley Ordered Investigation Into Obama Green Energy Loans – Two Months Later He’s Gone…
An interesting tidbit found within the various media reports regarding former White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley’s rather sudden departure from the Obama White House – just two months earlier Daley had ordered a comprehensive review of all Department of Energy loan guarantees following the Solyndra scandal. Coincidence?
While the White House is brushing aside questions on the reasons behind Bill Daley’s resignation just a year after accepting his position as Barack Obama’s second White House Chief of Staff, there are whispers within D.C. of a festering battle between more business-friendly Daley and the hardline progressive environtmentalism of others at the Obama White House.
Take the following quote from Frank O’Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch, who made clear his disdain for Bill Daley’s more moderate environmental policy stance:
“I say good riddance, goodbye, get out now.”
Last year, both Barack Obama and EPA officials were attempting to impliment tough new ozone standards – standards that many American manufacturers were warning would decimate an already unstable industry during a time of recession. According to a Politico report, it was Bill Daley who managed to shift the president’s decision to not favoring the stricter ozone regulations. How he managed to do so remains unknown.
Another Politico report indicated the following approximately two months ago:
The White House has ordered an independent review of all Energy Department loan guarantees in response to Solyndra’s collapse.
Chief of staff Bill Daley tasked former Treasury Department official Herb Allison to lead the 60-day review into more than two dozen loan guarantees approved since the start of the Obama administration
It should be noted that Herb Allison, the son of an FBI agent and a veteran of the Vietnam War, is also a Republican – and Bill Daley chose him to head up the investigation into the failed Obama green loans program.
And now Bill Daley is gone from the Obama White House…
