so says Rep. Issa. Plans to ensure more Federal Reserve transparency....

Issa says Obama administration is 'one of most corrupt'

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.

"It's more of an accounting function than legal function," Issa said. "It's more about the inspector generals than it is about lawyers in the White House. And the sooner the administration figures out that the enemy is the bureaucracy and the wasteful spending, not the other party, the better off we'll be."


Sounds like Issa is taking a page from Eliot Ness's "Untouchables".

Love Issa. Anyone who stands to clean up government corruption is good, and this administration is a real doozy.

"Obama Adminstration is "One of Most Corrupt"

Only one of the most corrupt? Surely, the people at Fox must be convinced that the Obama administration is the most corrupt the world has seen.
Hot to be taken seriously. Fox and its loyalists wouldn't be able to recognize a corrupt administration if it was in front of their noses, like it was previously.

You must REALLY like what is going on in DC don't you. From your posts, you seem not to mind crooked liars and thieves who are hell bent on a Revolution. For the life of me, I can't see you agreeing on a Revolution from the other side though. Am I right Comrade?

Ah, yes. Mr. Issa. Let's just take a quick stroll around Mr. Issa's lovely and ram rod straight voting record...shall we?

Project Vote Smart - Representative Darrell Issa - Voting Record

Let's start with his last act in the 'majority' and work backwards shall we? It seems more than fair, since it will be apples to apples...then you can compare the same type of votes from '06-'09.

Let's start w/ 12/18/05 and go through 2001...It's a lovely trapse around the pot & kettle garden. please read for your self.

The problem is that conservative are not against corruption, but only against Obama. Others (such as conservative christians) can be corrupt and the conservatives will defend them.
Do you believe that only Obama and his administration are crooked liars and thieves?

No I don't believe that only this administration is like that, but it is the worst I've ever witnessed in my voting lifetime. When you have someone who RUNS on changing the way DC does business, getting rid of the corruption, not hiring a single lobbyist, etc. then they turn around and do the exact opposite of EVERYTHING that they said they were there to do, well, that's the worst I've ever witnessed. We have a DoJ that is derilect of duty and has a racial and religious bias. You accept all of this?
