CPAC Draws Candidates and Conservative Luminaries  ...7 of 18 >
Feb. 9, 2012--U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (KY) stood in for his father Rep. Ron Paul.  Paul started his speech asking, "I have a question, a question for the President.  Do you hate all rich people, or just those who aren't campaign contributors?"  This led to Solyndra.  Paul continued, "The President sure seems to like George Kaiser, the twentieth richest man in America.  President Obama likes him so much that he gave Kaiser's company Solyndra a billion dollars—a half a billion dollars, which you may have heard got flushed down the drain."  Paul stated, "This election may be the last best hope of saving the American Dream."
