Holy shit, Obama should have listened to that guy!

"The Feb. 25, 2011 email that sparked the deliberations landed on West Wing desks just as the solar energy firm Solyndra was starting to show outward signs of financial trouble. It was sent by Dan Carol, a former Obama campaign staffer and clean energy advocate...

...Carol's four-page proposal to restructure the Energy Department included the blunt recommendation that Chu [Energy Secretary Steven Chu] be fired, and that his leadership team also be replaced...

...Carol also predicted the political fallout that would result from what he saw as inevitable failures of the Energy Department's now-embattled loan guarantee program. He made the dire predictions when advising that Obama replace Chu with someone who was not "too associated … with [the] Silicon Valley business elite."

Damn, that's incriminating...
