Investigation Nation (or the saga of Darell Issa)




Republican Rep. Darell Issa of California plans to make quite the splash when the 112th Congress officially convenes on Wednesday. Issa has laid the foundation for the sort of distracting, noxious political theater that will have absolutely no material impact on our current economic status. Declaring President Obama "one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times" on the Rush Limbaugh show, and then back tracking in a fit of semantics on CNN this Sunday; Issa recalibrated his former declaration by insisting that the administration and not the POTUS himself reeks of corruption. Politico has reported on Mr. Issa's goals as the ranking Chairman of the House Government Oversight Committee, which can be read about here.


Obviously, this (along with the House vote on repealing so-called "ObamaCare") smacks of partisan opportunism and seems to me like a bizarre sideshow in the face of continued struggle of "the jobless American".
