Chicago Fraud in Obama's Weatherization Program

Talk about a complete waste of money. The Department of Energy completed an audit to check up on Obama's much hailed "weatherization program," which gave taxpayer money to those who Obama chose in order to get their homes "weatherized."

As Byron York points out, the DOE found that 14 of the 15 homes they inspected failed the inspections miserably.

The findings are grim. "Our testing revealed substandard performance in weatherization workmanship, initial assessments, and contractor billing," the inspector general report says. "These problems were of such significance that they put the integrity of the entire program at risk."
