When even the L.A. Times starts reporting on government expenditures which appear to be the direction of millions (or hundreds of millions) of taxpayer dollars to companies in bed with Democratic donors, you know that such corruption is a story not going away anytime soon.
This it is with this weekend’s article entitled “Cost, need questioned in $433-million smallpox drug deal,” which explains that “a company controlled by a longtime [Democratic] political donor gets a no-bid contract to supply an experimental remedy for a threat that may not exist.”
The story reads like a pharmaceutical version of Solyndra. If you’re angry at the behavior of the Obama administration, this will make you angrier. If you’re not already angry at our government, then you’re probably the president of a public sector union or a radical environmentalist group, and thus beyond reasoning with.

Follow The Obama Campaign Money Trail.
" The Obama campaign released a list of 244 individuals and couples who have raised $50,000 or more so far for Obama’s re-election bid, showcasing his support from Wall Street to Hollywood. The group can account for at least $34.95 million of the more than $86 million raised through June 30.
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, pointing to how former President George W. Bush released the names of his fundraisers, called on the 2012 Republican field of candidates to do the same. A failure to do so raises “questions about the extent to which Washington lobbyists and special interests are funding their campaigns,” LaBolt said in a statement.
The so-called bundlers, people who solicit campaign contributions from their personal networks and communities, include Jon Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief executive officer and New Jersey governor; Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg; Blair Effron, co-founder of investment bank Centerview Partners; and Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour.
Also on the list are Ari Emanuel, the brother of Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a Hollywood talent agent; Comcast Corp. executive David Cohen; and Orin Kramer of Boston Provident Partners LP. "

That SEIU are stealing all the money from the Treasury and are bank-crupting the country, while their leader Obama is running around the country lying about his record and making false promises.
