Now it's John Boehner who's been caught with his pants down over Solyndra scandalmongering:

House Speaker John Boehner attacked the Obama administration for financing failed solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC, saying government shouldn’t pick winners and losers. That hasn’t stopped him from demanding that the U.S. make a winner of a nuclear-fuel plant in Ohio, his home state.

Boehner is backing a $2 billion Energy Department loan guarantee sought by USEC Inc. (USU) for its American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, aimed at enriching uranium for commercial nuclear reactors.

-snip of the creep talking out of both sides of his mouth-

Meanwhile, he continues to double down on Solyndra scandalmongering and refuses to hold a vote on any of the major provisions in President Obama's jobs bill, even the one that would extend the payroll tax holiday another year. With "leadership" like Boehner's, it's no wonder that Congress has a 9 percent job approval.

the repugs don't care about Congress' job approval. they don't care about us. they will rig and buy elections. they want a black man out of the whitehouse. period.

"creep" -- He's a boozy dishrag being ripped by the tea baggers and the establisment. T.S.,speaker

just makes it easier to get their base riled up about it.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Orrin Hatch, a vocal critic of the Obama administration's backing of a Department of Energy loan guarantee to solar manufacturer Solyndra, pushed for more than $20 million in government funding for a bankrupt clean energy firm in his home state of Utah.

Hatch aides told USA TODAY earlier this month that the Republican lawmaker had never pushed for taxpayer money to be used for Raser Technologies, which operated a geothermal power plant in southern Utah and also developed hybrid plug-in vehicles. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in April, and recently re-emerged as a restructured company known as Cyrq Energy.

But on Friday, Hatch spokesman Matthew Harakal said that after an internal audit following publication of the USA TODAY story on Hatch's support for Raser, the Utah senator's office found that Hatch actually requested seven earmarks for more than $20 million from 2006 to 2008 to help fund research and development projects for the automotive wing of the company . . .

So off key he is....hardly anyone lissens

No more help from that government you decry as evil.

BTW, why doesn't USEC Inc. (USU) just ask a nice commercial bank for the $2 billion loan?

to how very unpopular he is as leader of the Congress.

He'll make it an emergency no-bid contract.
