GOP Oversight Committee Chair plans hundreds of hearings into Executive Branch 24/7 LINK
And it begins..... A Clinton style redux is on the front burner.


http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/darrell-issa-hearings-oversight-panel/

"Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA), the next chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is planning to massively expand investigations into the executive branch.

Issa plans to hold hundreds of hearings, create new subcommittees, and launch investigations into the bank bailout, the stimulus, and health care reform, according to Politico.

"I want seven hearings a week, times 40 weeks," Issa said."

1. from the link:
"My job is not to bring down the president," said Issa. "My job is to make the president a success... I'm going to stick to my knitting, which is waste, fraud and abuse, whenever possible."

No, that's not this asshole's job - its his goal.

Waste money and focus on a president who has led an exemplary life.

3. Obama's life wasn't exemplary according to him...
Obama now thinks he should have been arrested for smoking pot and snorting coke..

10. Investigating a Repub president wouldn't be bipartisan..
And no doubt the Republicans would get upset and might say some nasty things..

Wouldn't be prudent.
