Members Of Congress Consider Suing White House

Members of Congress investigating the $535 million loan guarantee that the Obama administration gave to now-bankrupt solar panel manufacturer Solyndra are considering suing the White House to obtain access to documents relating to the case.

What a shame that the Obama administration refuses to turn over all documents pertaining to the Solyndra loan guarantee, and leaves Congress to consider suing the White House to obtain the documents in a scam that ended up costing taxpayers over half a billion dollars.

Happens in every congress, with every President.

The White House will claim executive privilege, etc, etc.

I don't know which is worst: the pure political theater, or the dupes who believe it.

Some people don't even understand what "grandstanding" is.

Executive privilege for everyone in the Executive branch. All those czars and advisors and staffers don't have to utter a single word.

Obama was a smart man appointing so many people to help him and all in the Executive branch.
He really does know the Constitution.

Members of congress should know what goes around comes around. One of their own party may be on the receiving end some day.

But this Presidency was supposed to be different, yes? The hopey, changey thing was a sham, although I didn't fall for it I was "hopeful" that he was sincere in his transparency pledges. He's no different than every other politician,

Transparency: Clear as mud.

Oh, I don't know about that. He seems to lie when the
truth would be easier.

Have you ever heard of Congressional power of subpoena? What was Obama's reply when he was subpoenaed about this one? I never heard word one about Executive privilege but then he doesn't think he has to defend not obeying their subpoena.
