2011...Issa says Obama administration is 'one of most corrupt'

[spanone]

this statement was made BEFORE he became chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

this man is a shit stain on america. his agenda was obvious.

=======================

The Republican congressman who is taking over responsibility for congressional oversight called President Obama's administration "one of the most corrupt administrations" on Sunday and predicted that the investigations he is planning over the next two years could result in about $200 billion in savings for U.S. taxpayers.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, was bullish in laying out his agenda for the new Congress with Republicans in control of the House.

Issa, who as chairman will have subpoena power, said he will seek to ferret out waste across the federal bureaucracy. While he used fiery rhetoric in describing the Obama administration in a series of television interviews Sunday, he said he will focus on wasteful spending, not the prosecution of White House officials.

Asked on "Fox News Sunday" about reports that the White House is staffing up on lawyers to prepare for his oversight hearings, Issa said: "They're going to need more accountants.

1. I don't understand how anyone can take this car thief seriously

[cascadiance]

7. ... because he's not an arsonist?...

Just trying to think of the excuses he would give.

Too bad the statute of limitations has run out on most of what he's done in the past (that we know about of course...).

2. When this dick gets his come-uppance the parties are going to be legendary...

Fuck.That.Guy.

3. I guarantee he will spend more than he 'saves'.

Asshole.

[Journeyman]

4. It's been better than 2 years. Any GAO studies to back up his claim of $200 billion in savings?. . .

Any studies to show his "investigations" haven't just needlessly wasted money?

[spanone]

8. i doubt it and our less than curious media is too busy feeding on the irs 'scandal'

[Behind the Aegis]

5. Well, Issa does know corruption when he sees it.

Of course in this is a case it is what is called "projectionism." That is where one "projects" his/her short-comings/follies onto another, which is clearly the case given that the person making the assertion is Issa.

6. Typical: Republicans projecting their own CRIMINALITY on to others!

And it's hard to beat Issa as one of the most unprosecuted criminals in our government! Ironic that Republicans choose criminals to do their "investigations"!
