back on topic:

Solyndra isn't going to go away and neither is Lightsquared. It is past time to bring in special prosecutors on F&F and Solyndra. Fmr. Chicago Mayor Daley trained Obama well in the Chicago Way.

Nixon was not impeached. He resigned because the Congress threatened to hold an impeachment trial. He put the country first unlike Clinton who said "Bring it on!".

Sorry, had a brain fart. You are correct. He resigned at the announcement that impeachment proceedings would start. IIRC he did not think the country should have to go through that as it was already facing enough division over the Vietnam war.

Anyway......Solyndra has legs as does LightSquared.
