I believe it was part of Stimulus I. (I could be off by a Stimulus or two.)

It does seem at times that Obama just lies reflexively.

It was interesting to hear on Fox Radio News that the OMB guys who testified that there was no pressure "to their knowledge" had in fact no direct knowledge. Thus their testimony was honest, truthful, and completely useless and irrelevant. I am surprised the chair did not say "Get the h3ll out of here and send someone back who actually knows something."

I am still thanking Bill Clinton for the parsing lessons.

The Aegean Stables are nothing compared to the White House in this bunch’s control. Even Hercules couldn’t get it cleaned out.

I don’t know. The narcissist-in-chief and his msm buddies might actually prefer a story about his crookedness over the mounting stories about his impotence as a leader.

In advance of intensifying scrutiny of the loan, the White House has noted that the Bush administration was the first to consider Solyndra’s application, and that some executives at the company have a history of donating to Republicans.
