Republican Rep. Darrell Issa has threatened to subpoena the Department of Health and Human Services if it does not turn over documents by Thursday on a program he claims is being used to "buy" the election by hiding the effects of ObamaCare. Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, made his demands in a letter late Wednesday to Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. His office effectively is accusing the department of stringing them along in their months-old request for documents about an $8 billion program that pays bonuses to Medicare Advantage plans.

Can you imagine the document shredding that’s going down if O gets tossed on 6 Nov?

They’ll need to bring in one of those wood-chippers that you can basically put a full-grown tree into!

It just seems that ISSA wants to get traction but that the the Administration is so corrupt that he can’t make a inroad.
Feels like he is just treading water.

He voted for this bill....I know he voted no but are you telling me he did not read it before voting? Even Republicans are negligent.

Yep. They are trying to stall until after the election and you can bet Obama is aware of this. If a white president had done all the things Obama has done necrotic have been impeached the first year and have committed at least 100 times less atrocities. I cannot understand whybe has not been impeached except forthe color of his skin.

Issa threatens subpoena this week over ObamaCare documents

Yeah! That's the ticket.
After all, that tactic worked so well at uncovering documents in the F&F "investigation"

The House Committee on Hindsight and Government Expansion is nothing but make work and an opportunity for face time for congresscritters.

Issa is a real fighter, unlike the Republican “leadership” of the House.

If we get busy and tell medicare dependent seniors about the threat Obamacare poses to their benefits we can take some votes away from Obama.

The MSM damned sure isn't going to tell anyone.

Yes he is. I hate to say this, but I believe it isn’t just the Obama gangsters who are thwarting Issa, I believe the RINO cowards in D.C. are in this up to their gills. The “don’t rock the boat” crowd. Are you listening, Boehner ?
