And Rob Portman, running for Senate, isn’t happy:

But Republican Rob Portman, who is running for the Senate seat being vacated at the end of next year by GOP Sen. George V. Voinovich of Ohio, criticized the decision not to grant USEC the loan guarantee, noting that as a presidential candidate last year Barack Obama said during a campaign stop in Ohio that he supported the loan guarantee for USEC.
Portman, who represented Piketon as a congressman from the Cincinnati area, also indicated he thinks the enrichment plant jobs, and related production and research jobs in Ohio and around the country, are worth more than the temporary cleanup jobs being offered. He also took a jab at Gov. Ted Strickland and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, a candidate for the same Senate seat Portman seeks.
“President Obama is going back on a campaign promise, the Strickland-Fisher administration has once again been unable to deliver for southern Ohio, and the tragic result is that thousands more Ohioans will be out of work,” Portman said.
