Showing a growing frustration with the the Obama administration, congressional Republicans on Thursday authorized their second subpoena this week, demanding White House documents related to failed solar technology company Solyndra.
By a 14-9 party-line vote the Energy and Commerce Committee’s investigative subcommittee authorized issuing a subpoena for any White House documents related to Solyndra, which received renewable energy loan guarantees under President Obama’s stimulus program. The request for documents could include details of the president’s own travel and communications.
Democrats said it was “unprecedented” to subpoena documents from the president’s executive office like this, but Republicans said they’ve run out of patience with White House “stalling.”
“We simply cannot allow the executive branch at its highest levels to pick and choose what they will produce, or whether they will produce anything at all,” said Rep. Cliff Stearns, the Florida Republican who runs the investigative panel.

Repeat of Nixon.
At least Nixon had the cahones to resign.
I think the current president sits down to pee.
It’s a start. Let’s hope they don’t get cowardly half way thru.
Every Republican on the panel voted in favor of the subpoena.... and every Democrat voted against it.
To counter the 'unprecedented' lying and stalling from Obama and Eric Holder.
...and subpoena the WH “Blackberry” too !!
I am sure there is some mighty interesting data and voice -mails there too !
Let’s get it on!
Can’t wait until Ryan gets a hold of this:) republicans should have a field day
If the Republicans have a good candidate to run against Dem. John Dingell, his performance today could certainly be used against him.
Except Nixon had the guts to resign.
Then again, Nixon wasn't a MARXIST.

FINALLY somebody in Congress is doing an actual CHECK AND BALANCE on arrogant, spendaholic, AWOL, Dictator-in-his-own-mind, High Poo Bah, You Lie Obama.
