They made jokes about it one congressman -- these jobs phony.

Funny I mean if these people were around Columbus sets -- they would have been founding members the -- society that's the president.

Well if you don't have to be Republican to understand that employment in the Green energy industry pails in comparison to the oil industry.

Ridiculous.

If the president doesn't get this if the secretary of energy doesn't get this we've got a real problem here.

The case of crony capitalism so lobbyists is to be laughable.

But she who couldn't see the conflicts even when asked directly.

The looked best moment came from the energy secretary himself today when questioned by -- I said the oversight chairman.

Q admitted the standard for qualifying for the loan program -- that projects needed.

At least at 50% chance of success in other words.

The Obama administration's careful analysis.

Boil down to not much more than say look -- at point.

That's the respect your tax dollars are getting from this White House which is to say nine the president's energy program is laughable.

He doesn't even keep faith with the energy industry players he says he supports the solar industry and he sure isn't bringing down the price of gas.

For secretary Q finally admitted publicly today what everybody else is known for a long time.

He said he's not an expert on oil reserves.
