Is this your smoking gun?

The primary investors in Solyndra were funds tied to a major Obama fundraising bundler, Tulsa oilman George Kaiser.

Pretty thin evidence so far for a claim of quid pro quo. Did you read about chain of events that have to happen for the government to realize a loss? It is not a foregone conclusion. Or, are you suggesting that Obama directs loan guarantees to campaign contributors, regardless of the success of those contributors' business successes or not? Payback, really?
