issue for the president -- his support of the troubled solar panel firm solyndra. doug mckelway says there is new information about just how involved -- some of the president's supporters were. were. fox news has confirmed that several top obama campaign fundraisers had key influence or roles at the department of energy, as it passed out billions of dollars in stimulus money to green energy firms, including solyndra. one of the fundraisers, steven spinner is a former nbc executive and clean-tech consultant. he advised energy secretary steven chu on the green energy loan program, while his wife, allison's law firm, received 2.4 million dollars for representing a number of green companies that had applied for the doe loans. representatives for spinner told abc news that the couple - quote - "took elaborate steps to avoid conflicts between his

government work and her legal work." questioned today about spinner's role, white house spokesman jay carney denied any impropriety. carney says: "it is my understanding, at least with regard to the gentleman [steve spinner] you just mentioned, that he had no connection to overseeing the loan guarantee program."the white house later added that "spinner had no role in the decision making process." the former ceo of allison spinners law firm, john v. roos, now the ambassador to japan, also raised money for the obama campaign. while congress and the fbi continue to investigate solyndra, some question why doe officials are allowed to grant any such loans. margonelli says: "when you have venture capitalists making bets or making loans to companies - they have skin in the game. they stand to make a lot of money and they stand to lose a lot of money. when you have government bureaucrats - even if they come from the venture capital community -making these decisions - they don't have skin in the game" with the deadline for the 18 billion dollar loan guarantee program looming tomorrow, doe has been rushing to grant more loan guarantees this week, prompting more congressional concern. this letter from investigating committee to doe reads: quote- "we are concerned that another rush to meet stimulus deadlines will result in doe closing these

deals before they are ready." mckelway says: "just yesterday doe awarded a $737 million loan guarantee to a company known as solarreserve. among its investment partners: ronald pelosi, the brother in law of house minority leader nancy pelosi, and argonaut private equity, owned by george kaiser, solyndra's biggest private investor and an obama campaign bundler. in washington, doug mckelway, fox news. 3 michael jackson's former employees paint a picture of a panicked and incompetent doctor through today's testimony in court. court."dr. conrad murray asked if anyone knew cpr." cpr." alberto alvarez was one of the first person in the bedroom with dr. murray and jackson. he found the doctor doing cpr on the bed, which wasn't helping at all. michael was naked and lifeless laying with his eyes open, when his kids came running in. "paris screamed out daddy" "when you heard paris scream out 'daddy' was she crying.?"

"yes sir" sir""dr. conrad murray said don't let the kids see there dad like this. don't let them see their dad like this." he continued to say that dr. murray was more focused on hiding the vials of drugs than doing cpr. if convicted of manslaughter dr. murray faces four years in prison. a young boy trips and is trapped under a car. this is police dash cam video of the scary scene. the cop flies up the driveway outside the school where he finds this red car with the boy pinned underneath. he rushes up along with other men already there. they lift the car off the ground, and one parent dives under to grab the boy and pull him out. amazingly the boy wasn't seriously injured.
