Issa 'wouldn't feel bad' if Obama reelected due to strong economy

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for President Obama to win reelection, one of his top Republican critics said Thursday.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the tenacious chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said his top goal is to work with the administration to revive the economy. And if Obama were to win another term as a byproduct, so be it.

"I hope we can do that together," Issa said of job-creation efforts. "I probably still won't vote for him, but I certainly wouldn't feel bad if Americans were working again, and he did get another four years."

Have been warning about this version of Republican myopia! The danger of our falling into the one and 'only' rhetoric of 'it's the economy stupid!'

What fricken planet does Issa and his like-minded live on! As important as the eonomy is; the threat of Obama goes far beyond our bank accounts! Issa already fooled twice it seems.

The crimes and the threat of Obamaa to our nation and in turn, the free world, must be front and center issues; along with that of our economic distress.

I listened to the interview and I think that Congress spent the get well Gabby week off and did seminars on how to speak and NOT get accused of using vitriolic language.

Isaa’s tongue is firmly planted in his cheek.

He knows the “domestic and foreign relations messiah” is a total buffoon.

I think we need a committee to investigate Clapper and Panetta next.

No it wouldn't be worse than having an asteroid strike the planet and wipe out all life as we know it. But it would be damn close. The United States would be finished if Obama gets a second term. If he has a second term, he will have nothing to fear. He will use the Executive Order like you won't believe. He will rule like a Caesar. The only reason he's reasonable (if you can call it reasonable, remember these are relative terms) now is because he wants to be reelected.

Where is Issa living? Hm? In a cave?

State after state is putting up legislation to demand proof of eligibility. Even if none of these bills pass, that they are being proposed at all indicates that there are some really **ticked** state legislators who will strongly question Obama’s eligibility. Many of these guys and gals are experienced attorneys with considerable political influence on the state level.

I hold Issa and the other top GOP “leaders” in complete contempt! They are despicable for allowing Obama to get away with this travesty.

“The Insider” said something about Issa getting chummy with the White House, even though the WH is said to be worried about some things Issa may have. (Not saying the “insider” even exists. Just sayin’.)

The charm offensive surely won’t work on Issa of all people.
Will it? He was so gung ho to expose the corruption and abuses. What is happening to the water in Washington.

This guy is dumber than McCain when he said there was nothing to be afraid of if Bozo got elected.
