White House REJECTS Solyndra Subpoena
November 4, 2011
President
Obama’s attorney sent a letter to Congressional investigators on
Friday, saying the White House would not cooperate with a subpoena
requesting documents related to its doling out a $535 million loan
guarantee to now bankrupt solar panel manufacturer Solyndra.
“I can only conclude that your decision to issue a subpoena, authorized by a party-line vote, was driven more by partisan politics than a legitimate effort to conduct a responsible investigation,” Obama’s counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler, wrote in a letter to the top Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce committee. (Read Ruemmler’s full letter here).
Committee chairman Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich, blasted the White House response:

“We have been reasonable every step of the way in this investigation, and it is a shame that the Obama Administration and House Democrats continue to put up partisan roadblocks to hide the truth from taxpayers.

Everyone, remember, We The People are to be (and expect to be) GOVERNED, NOT RULED. Say that over and over to yourself. Share it with the Congress.

Obama is not God! The last time I looked he wasn’t Dictator yet either! So he is subject to the laws of this nation, and if he refuses a subpoena he is subject to arrest. Speaker of the house needs to fill out a warrant for such an arrest to take place immediately!
