Boehner: Obama approved Solyndra, but not Keystone

Published



House Speaker John Boehner said that President Obama has put politics ahead of job creation, and faulted the president for approving the high-risk Solyndra loan guarantee, but then denying a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline to be built.

“President Obama expedited approval of the Solyndra loan project, but won’t approve a project that’s been under review for over three years,” House Speaker John Boehner said in a press conference today on Obama’s decision not to grant a permit for the Keystone pipeline. He declared that “President Obama is destroying tens of thousands of American jobs and shipping American energy security to the Chinese.”
