Obama buys Zuccotti Park for $168 Mil - your $168 Mil ....

"So it looks like they ... in exchange for letting their park be used by the protesters, got a $168 million loan guarantee from the regime."

“ Rodge,  I havent seen it reported other than Rush speaking of it today Tom Smith RUSH: Well, let me fill you in on the answer to your question, at least as it relates to the Zuccotti Park in New York. This is from the Business Insider, and this is the real reason why they weren't kicked out last Friday. If you recall, they were supposed to be kicked out just so the park could be cleaned and then they would be allowed back in, but they thought it would be the first step of a permanent evacuation, they refused to go, and everybody involved backed down. Now, here's the thing. "Coming on the heels of the Solyndra debacle, the Obama administration has just approved a $168.9 million loan guarantee for the Granite Reliable wind farm project owned by Brookfield Asset Management (BAM). Among its many holdings BAM owns Brookfield Renewable Power, which owns the Granite Reliable and it also owns Brookfield Office Properties, whose holdings include the now famous Zuccotti Park. The Department of Energy finalized the loan guarantee less than a week after Occupy Wall Street protesters took to Zuccotti Park." So it looks like the people at Brookfield Asset Management, in exchange for letting their park be used by the protesters, got a $168 million loan guarantee from the regime. But it doesn't stop there. "The Granite Reliable Power Project under construction in Coos Bay, New Hampshire is the state's largest wind farm and the New Hampshire Union Leader questions why Brookfield would need federal subsidies at all, particularly following the bankruptcy of Solyndra," and why is GE getting subsidies when they don't need the money? "Mayor Bloomberg's announcement Monday that protesters could remain as long as they liked, also raised a few eyebrows and it turns out he has a personal connection to Brookfield as well. The mayor's longtime domestic partner Diana Taylor is on the Board of Directors at Brookfield Properties along with John E. Zuccotti himself." So you wonder why they don't need permits? They don't need permits because the mayor's compromised, the girlfriend's compromised, Obama's compromised, in the middle of all this is a $170 million loan guarantee to Zuccotti's Granite Reliable wind farm project. And the price for that is letting them use Zuccotti Park. Does that answer your question? [Full] ” Do I have to say it?  Again?  No? Good. THIS JUST IN (from comments) The Law firm of Oldaker, Biden & Belair, founded by Joe Biden's son, are the lobbyists for Brookfield Properties, the owners of Zuccotti Park. Vlad-The-Inhaler
