Issa Calls Out Obama For Having “Enemies List”…
Weasel Zippers ^ | September 21, 2012

Bravo!

Via Politico:

Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, likened President Barack Obama to President Richard Nixon on Thursday, slamming Obama for having “an enemies list.”

“Not since Richard Nixon have we seen a president who puts together an enemies list and has a whole team pursuing it,” Issa said on Fox News’s “Fox and Friends.” “That’s what’s happened in this administration. It’s sad. It’s not the America I want to see going forward. I sincerely hope that after the election, regardless, the American people will have made a statement that they won’t tolerate this.”

Issa’s remarks came in the wake of a story in the Daily Caller, much-discussed in the conservative blogosphere, highlighting what some consider a collaboration between Department of Justice officials and the liberal watchdog group Media Matters and an effort to target critics of the administration.

“I think the important point is, these people represent the culture that President Obama brought into Washington, a culture of division, a culture that embraces the concept of, the 1 percent is evil and somehow the rest of America just needs to…punish the 1 percent,” Issa said. “I guess I’m part of the 1 percent for purposes of their attack. So are you.”

Nixon was missing for 18 minutes, and look at all the howling.

0m0slem is missing for 38 years and not a peep!

I would definitely stay out of Fort Marcy Park. I wouldn’t even trust bodyguards unless they were Seals.

Call me skeptical, but all we’ve heard regarding any investigation of Obama, Holder etc has been bluster. Is Issa gonna get really mad and start printing his harshly worded memos in 14 point pica bold italic with lots of exclamation points? Oh please. Ping me when they send out a few indictments or arrest warrants. This is getting real old.

” - - - a president who puts together an enemies list and has a whole team pursuing it,” Issa said on Fox News’s “Fox and Friends.” “That’s what’s happened in this administration.”

HEY! Arrogant, incompetent, unqualified, Marxist Dictator “You Lie” Obama, PUT ME ON YOUR LIST!

I am a PROUD American opposed to every part of Obamanation, and so I insist on being on the list of those who oppose the ideology of Obama/Marxist re-distribution: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

BTW Barry Soetoro, it is time to give back your undeserved Nobel Peace Prize. That worthy gesture would go a long way to quell the violence from Hell that your Foreign Policy has created. Yeah, I know, that was your Secretary of Statements Hilly’s fault.
