This whole Solyndra thing is interesting. However both parties have plenty of coruption, favors and other money "dontated" to campaigns. So its not just an Obama, Bush, Republican or Democrat issue.

Bold and in your face corruption, where Obama dares Republicans to take him on.. Just look at how Obama bocked/delayed Eric Holders contempt charge over Fast and Furious, all by executive order..
He thinks he's above Congress, but wait until Republicans take over the Senate in 2014 as many predict they will.. and the Senate Judiciary is ruled by Republicans, it's going to open up a whole can of worms Obama does NOT want opened.. Wait and see.
