Newport Beach, Calif.—Predicting that Republicans will win control of the House next month and that he will then be chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R.-Calif.) vowed that the Obama Administration will be held accountable “like they’ve never been held accountable.”
In discussing the use of investigatory and subpoena power that would come with his chairmanship of the committee, Issa reminded the Western Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday of past Democratic demands for tougher oversight when Republicans held the White House.

Interesting times we live in.
This is our best bet for bogging down the czars and bureaucrats of the Baraqqi admin.
I sure hope Issa gets solid support from the Republican congress domos.
Eric Holder may not be able to leave the witness chair for the next two years....
Music to my ears.
How delicious !
If anyone else will be in the witness chair it will be Pelosi, it was her who signed the documents that Obama met all the eligibility requirements to be POTUS.
She knew he wasn’t, she knew that he would give her table scraps and a position of power.
What she isn’t realizing is that America will make a stand and convict all those eventually that broke the law, nobody is above the law in America.
Obama may be so far but its just a matter of time and courage for someone willing to arrest him.
When Republicans gain control of Congress, it will be game over for 2012. Obama (and Michelle) will claim he’s being thwarted and persecuted, and he will refuse to run in 2012, implying that the country doesn’t deserve him. Thus he will never have to part with his long form and other sequestered records.
Some troubling statements regarding compromise from Issa in that article:
"It’s pretty clear the American people expect us to use the existing gridlock to create compromise and advance their agenda,” said Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.). “They want us to come together [with the administration] after we agree to disagree.”
So I think I'll take any talk from Issa about holding anyone accountable with a grain of salt.
I can’t wait. I love you Darryl.
Bring it on,Mr. Issa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely NONE for the first 6 months. Let the (newly) conservative House take shots at Obama (defund health care, defund the czars, pull out of GM, etc). He doesn't have a clue regarding our economy so let him "hoist" himself.
If Issa can't hold back, he should be judicious and go BIG out of the gates (Holder and DOJ?). Then sit back and let them worry about his next move.
Only if The Republicans attempt to thwart Obama and his policies.I’m hoping that they will rack-up a RECORD number of Presidential Vetoes!!!!
I want hearings on the science of CO2, and its (non) relationship to global warmning. The people need to know that:
1-Increases in atmospheric CO2 have FOLLOWED increases in temperature, according to ice-core samples, throughout history.
2-Of the roughly 7 tenths centigrade increase in temperature during the twentieth century, three-fourths of that increase occurred prior to 1940.
3-Testimony can show that relatively recent temperature increases can be laid at the feet of solar activity-there’s a direct correlation that is absent with CO2 increases.
4-It’s warming on Mars.
CO2 needs to be officially pardoned, along with Scooter Libby.
Investigatory and subpoena power is a democrats greatest fear no wonder so many of Obama’s people ate jumping ship now.
Incredible...I bet all the outgoing miscreants will strike an immunity deal before January...what a freaking scam this entire thing has become!
Bill Maher was right...Americans are truly stupid.
