Henry Waxman: “I believe in this oversight on the Solyndra loan guarantee issue. It is part of our job.”

Mr. Chairman, too much dirty politics is waged with dark money, the secrecy is protected by no privilege, and a little sunlight would be very healthy for American democracy.

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.

It is not for the President to say or to obstruct congressional deliberations and investigations or other legitimate functions.
