Hey remember how the Republicans said that Obama's decision to invest in green energy was the worst thing he had done to the country since getting himself elected? Well guess what.

A US government renewable energy programme described by Republicans as "disgusting" and "a colossal failure" has turned a profit for the first time. 

The Loans Program Office became a stick to beat President Barack Obama with during the campaigning for the 2012 election, after the solar energy company Solyndra defaulted on a $535m loan it received from the Department of Energy. 

It was followed into bankruptcy by start-ups Fisker Automotive and Abound Solar, all of which received loans from the office. 

Now, it has reported a profit of $30m, after collecting interest payments of $810m on total loans of $34.2bn, Reuters reports.

Well looky there. Another Obama failure refuses to actually, you know,  fail.
