California Republican Darrell Issa declares war on Obama



It has been called everything from a ‘witch hunt’, to a waste of time, intended to do little more than distract the electorate, but California Congressman Darrell Issa has declared war on Barack Obama.

The New York Times called Issa, ‘Obama’s annoyer-in-chief,” adding, “Every Congress seems to produce a designated pest, adept at drawing attention to nuisance issues while making trouble for the other party when it controls the White House.”

The winner of this year’s Annoying Pest prize is Issa, whose sole mission appears to be unraveling as much of President Obama’s safety, environmental and banking regulations as he can.

“Now comes Mr. Issa, 57, who was charged with two long-ago auto thefts before eventually making a fortune selling car alarms,” according to the New York Times.

Issa may get support from a fellow republican, newly elected Florida Governor, Rick Scott, who “admitted to 14 counts of Medicare fraud and paid the federal government more than $600 million dollars in fines for his fraudulent billing practices.”

Issa is going to try to accuse the Obama Administration of being ‘corrupt.’ That sounds something like the ‘pot calling the kettle black.’
