House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is probing what he sees as signs of an unseemly overlap between President Barack Obama’s official and political activities.
In what could be considered the committee’s sharpest probe to date of the White House, Issa sent a letter to Obama’s top lawyer Monday evening asking for a slew of documents relating to what the California Republican termed as “an array of potentially illegal fundraising behavior.”
Issa singled out a White House meeting in March between Obama, Democratic National Committee officials and members of the business community — who were all Obama donors. The meeting was organized by the DNC.
He’s also calling into question the Obama administration’s decision to provide access to administration officials – possibly including the White House chef – to large donors.
And Issa is taking issue with a campaign video that he says appears to have been shot in the White House, advertising a raffle to have dinner with Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden in return for contributions.

Campaign video ? How about starting with Obama is not even eligible to be president? Then charged with murdering the border patrol agents in operation gun runner. Are we up to 50yrs. in prison yet? I can keep going.
Most definitely Obama has created a serious problem for himself pertaining to illegal fundraising. Nice to know that our tax dollars are being spent for his reelection & fundraising efforts. Obama or The DNC should be made to reimburse the tax payers for this illegal action.
DARREL ISSA IS SPINELESS AND THROWING UP A SMOKE SCREEN. ITS ALL TALK THE CONGRESS HAS ENOUGH ON THIS SOB IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO PUT HIM AWAY FOR ONE HUNDRED YEARS OR MORE AND PROBABLY ENOUGH TO GET HIM HUNG FOR TREASON AND HE TALKS ABOUT IMPROPER CONDUCT IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHAT A SHAM.
Hey I am on board with all this legal stuff, lets get the bastard anyway we can. But let's have a laughable moment here. Who, lets have a visualization here, would pay to sit down for "dinner" with obama and biden? That in itself is pathetic, I won't be caught dead at a table with those two idiots let alone pay money for the "opportunity" Through in micelle as a threesome now you're really talking big liberal donations. wow what a dummycrat dream come true.
GO ISSA GO!
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
Yesterday Barry said "This may be the end of my Presidency" It was in relations to the deal that he is trying to get with the House Republicans. My friends, the ones that "Like me" . The end of his Presidency started the day he signed the Stimulus plan that sent money "payoffs" to his supporters. Then he started counting with the Status of "Saved Jobs". Followed by the Health Care Scare plan that we had to wait until the law was passed to see what was in it. What was in it was nothing but a Government plan to take over a large percentage of the private sector. Speaking of the Health care plan, has anyone found that 500 Billion in Medicare fraud they they said would help pay for it. NOPE, they think were all stupid and forget what they say.Then he and his two houses of Congress ran up a debt in three years that equaled all 8 years of President Bush. Then he and the Democratic party blamed it on the Corporate fat cats with Corporate planes. I ask you who is flying the biggest Corporate jet today.? He is and it is 747, which he has used at this point in his first term more times for fund raising than any President in history. Not to speak of his wife's vacation "Official Visits" with all her friends in tow. So now we hear if they are not given the right to borrow 2.4 Trillion more that people on Social security might not get their checks. Wait why don't they just not pay themselves instead. That's right take all government employees pay away instead of the retired person that earned and paid into a fund that they wasted over the years. Why must the ones that are not responsible for this mess get punished?
So Barry you Presidency was ended before it started when you lied and people died and fell for you empty promises.
Michele Bachmann 2012 you go girl.
" Then he started counting with the Status of "Saved Jobs"."
Just to make it more vague, it was "Saved or created jobs".
So, how does one keep track of what was created and what was saved?
They don't, but his lemmings fall for statements like that. Here another statement that they love to spin. "The Bush Tax cuts were the reason for the debt and the rich people are the only ones that got them. Well I know I am not rich and I got a tax break of about 1400 dollars a year from the Bush tax cuts. Also the number of people that paid zero Federal income tax went up from the lower 30% to approximately 42 % because of the Bush Tax cuts. Thees fact are available on a government ran website, check for yourself. Here is another way they spin something. The war in Iraq cost us 1 Trillion dollars in the Bush Administration. Well that is not completely true. hey added Afghanistan and Iran together in the special spending bills, which in fact were approved by The democrat controlled congress the last two years. and the one Trillion was spread out over ten years. Unlike Barry and his one signature STIMULUS bill that spent that much with one bill on one day. Also the amount included the cost of paying troops that were already being paid for being a member of the arm forces. Their pay has to be count when they are in theater. So now we got Barry and his Chicago Gangsters half speaking and the lemming that support him just repeat the half truth. Then the NBC Nightly news that older retired people have been brain washed with for decades believe it. Trust Me I know I live next door to one of them. She is 93 and repeats the half truths to the t. So what is the resolution? I do not know.
Barry is a liar, Barry is a Liar>
Bachmann 2012, you go girl.
The dems also stuck all kinds of earmarks into the war funding bills which
had absolutely nothing to do with the war, so the real cost of the war was perhaps
1/4 – 1/2 of that 1 Tril.
G.W. was more or less hostage to their earmarks.
Yes I knew that just forgot due to my new war on words with Alexia/Hot Cougar whom has chosen me as another target. She does not want to trade wits with me. The synopsis of the post was how the Left use short easy statements that their lemmings repeat as full truth, when in fact they are just spun half truths.
Weird that If Alexia had read most of my inquiries of Ellen when she use to come here. She would of seen the questions I did ask lead me to the conclusion that yes indeed Barry was born in this country, sadly enough. Yes this is my own conclusion and that is what great about this country, the freedom of speech and allowed to express your thought as long as they are not harming to another. But alas Alexia has no real facts just name-calling and delusions of grandeur.
It seems Ellen/James and a lot on the left are avoiding website that are not like minded these days. There must be a hole in that ship and Barry being Captain is being left behind to sink with the Ship.
Also be careful Gary some here are just left wing plants pretending to be Birthers.
I always knew there were people that use multiple alias's on multiple websites
(dem party workers) and put up their arguement, then reply with an alias that
portrays a birther as either racist, homophobic, the word that was being tossed
around the other day during the arguement of three that frequently comment here
(it reminds me of movie "Deliverance") QQ (that's where the dueling banjos came
from).
should have said racist, homophobic, and/or the word which invokes
visuals of duelling banjos.
I never saw that movie so that's why I did not get it. The site has been Ellen and James free for a unusually long time. I think James finally gave up on his banter with his favorite foe.
Lol! What a joke you are!
Gary in Colo. do you even know what you are talking about? Have you become a expert on these things? I think not! Plus the party in question i believe i know more about than you.
Gary in Colo. it was me who made every one on this site aware of the use of aliases by certain individuals. I can only assume by your statement that you are referring to me? If so then why do you not man up & say so? Gee where did all the real men go?
ireuel this is getting so deep that we are going to need boots if you continue! ireuel do not honor yourself by thinking that i am targeting you. Trust me you do not have enough wits to even keep up with me & I have more than proven that thus far.
What you are trying to say or relate to i have quoted on this site often which is by Joseph Goebbels Nazi Germany's propaganda Minister during WWII.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
OMG! Lol! Your questioning Ellen / James McPherson led you to the conclusion that Obama was born in this country! Do you have any idea just how dumb that sounds?
What facts do you have? None! Right none! You only have a opinion but no undeniable proof! I have always said that no one really knows for certain where Obama was born.
ireuel you deal in very few facts when you are compared to me. You can say otherwise but you know i am correct.
ireuel you have done your share of name calling as well so just get over it.
Delusions of grandeur? No no delusions at all! I am for real!
Further ireuel it is so lame of you to warn Gary of left wing plants pretending to be birthers when i have constantly warned people on this site of such. Gee can not any of you men think on your own other than steal my comments or quotes?
Get a life ireuel & come back to the real world.
As long as you believe that the media and the parties cannot be beat they will continue their lawlessness and turn the 65 million loyalists to other cultures (Islam, Socialist, Communist etc…) today into 189 million by 2040. I have already seen the real bozo staring back at me in the mirror, when are you going to have the guts to admit it yourself?

New Gallop poll is another example that Barry is failing, We got them right where we want them, the time to relax is not now.
Headline: U.S. Satisfaction Slides to Two-Year Low.
Barry is down and we are winning.
Bachmann 2012 You go girl.
Okay, we all know he is using the White House in ads for his reelection. With that, the forged BC and the fraud of his SS# and selective service record, WHAR ARE THEY WAITING FOR?
