Obama's OMB ignores document subpoena; Upton/Stearns House panel says Monday morning or else
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/23/11 | Mark Tapscott

Posted on 07/23/2011 10:35:59 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama's senior appointees at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget took another step this week toward a potentially epic confrontation with Congress by ignoring a document subpoena issued by a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The subpoena is for thousands of documents requested months ago by the committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations concerning OMB's evaluation of a Department of Energy economic stimulus program loan guarantee worth $535 million for Solyndra, Inc., which makes solar energy panels.

What are the consequences?

Double secret probation. Nothing here to see... move along.

Nobama has no support. Even NBC said WH spin for the first time in years last night. Nobama is about to go Galt.

Ha, yeah. What ya doing to do? Hit us with a resolution?

Kind of late now, but I guess Congress shouldn’t have spent decades shoveling power, money and authority at the Executive Branch.

Assholes is an accurate description of the Obama crew. Bammy Boy is giggling away in the White House when his wannabe gangstas pull these stunts for him. Bill Clinton had lots of child-crusaders and punks laboring away but Obama (obviously) outclasses him.

How much does the CEO of Solyndra make? I bet it is a bundle, along with a tidy benefits package. But, the left wouldn’t notice this version of evil capitalism at work because it slithers along under the guise of “enviromentalism”! Those green-job proponents need scrutinize the salaries of management at these companies just like they do the evil banks.

He’s wicked and will get away with as much as he’s allowed.

What I find disheartening and very strange is that there is not one single democrat in the house or senate who will dare question ANYTHING he does. Not ONE. Not even one somewhat moderate democrat. They all continue to march in lock step with him despite his dismal poll numbers and fading popularity. Why?

Remember, Citizen...

nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America, nobama is the Destroyer.

Everything nobama does is intentional.

God Help us all.

People, I don’t know what his game is but he is thumbing his nose at congress left and right.

He WANTS them to take action against him.
Either he wants to play the race card for sympathy to help his poll numbers. Expects the media to back him up.
Will somehow force their hand and attempt to nullify their power to keep him in check.
Declare martial law.

Something. But I am sure he WANTS them to take action.

No one who has done so much to bring us so close to ruin so fast. being smart enough to bury legislation so deep into thousands of pages of documents as to go un noticed until it kicks in years down the road. Who funds hundreds of millions of dollars in programs and no one even finds it for months after the legislation is signed.

Can be so stupid as to think that his status is so historically significant as to be unopposed at every over reach.

It is just inconceivable to me.

he has some plan and is thumbing his nose at congress on many levels now just WAITING for them to take action.

What I don’t know is WHY. What could he have planned?

Huh? Obama is the anti-Galt, the epitome of a Looter.

Agree and the only way they will get him to back off on the spending is to impeach him and I don’t believe that the nads required to do that exist in congress. He knows that his skin color makes him teflon.

So how many supoenas is the Obama administration ignoring now all together? This is a man that has much to hide.

Complete lawlessness at this point.

If the House tried to take action against Obama for violating the constitution, McBackstabber and Co. would lead the pack in protection of Dear Reader.

Like when the House investigated so many Clinton crimes and Newt and his friends made sure they only hung perjury in a sexual harassment case around his neck. Obammy knows this.

so you figure he is counting on a perjury charge at worst and walking away from it?

Yes. The Rinos would not permit anything serious coming into a Congressional legal process against their friends across the aisle. Watch for Holder’s gunrunner cover-up.
