Rep. Darrell Issa, the conservative firebrand whose specialty is lobbing corruption allegations at the Obama White House, is making plans to hire dozens of subpoena-wielding investigators if Republicans win the House this fall.
The California Republican’s daily denunciations draw cheers from partisans and bookings from cable TV producers. He even bought his own earphone for live shots. But his bombastic style and attention-seeking investigations draw eye rolls from other quarters. Now, he’s making clear he won’t be so easy to shrug off if he becomes chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in 2011.
Issa has told Republican leadership that if he becomes chairman, he wants to roughly double his staff from 40 to between 70 and 80. And he is not subtle about what that means for President Barack Obama.
At a recent speech to Pennsylvania Republicans here, he boasted about what would happen if the GOP wins 39 seats, and he gets the power to subpoena.
“That will make all the difference in the world,” he told 400 applauding party members during a dinner at the chocolate-themed Hershey Lodge. “I won’t use it to have corporate America live in fear that we’re going to subpoena everything. I will use it to get the very information that today the White House is either shredding or not producing.”

The Majority are with you ISSA. Don't spare a nickle. He is an Illegal !!!
Way to go !!! Dig real deep the slime will seep out. The guy is a phony not a citizen not qualified to be commander in chief unless its the homeless soup kitchen but I don't think I would eat there if he was in charge….And like Thomas said don't spare a nickle to get the BUM OUT OF OFFICE.
Obama was born in the USA as his official birth certificate from Hawaii shows, and it has been confirmed by the officials in Hawaii and by the governor of Hawaii.
that phony ass short form was proven fake by multiple certified document examiners, as well as his selective service registration. And if you get done to it explain why YOUR president has a connecticut social security number issued in 1890 ,and Obama never had a connecticut address,,and at the time he should have gotten a social security number from his birth state like normal REAL CITIZENS DO
yeal RIGHT WHY do I not believe THAT and why do I think your a demorat
THROW OUT ALL THE BUMS!!!!
He gets it! Now Mr Issa, you have my ear and my wallet cracking open, just swear you'll return us to a constitutional republic and on my honor I will grant you all in my power to do so, though I am only one and of limited means I am one of a vast number of like minds. http://www.mrcaction.org/550/statement.asp Sign on here and let us once again set a goal all mankind can reach if they truly are willing to stand against tyranny and take on the responsibility to educate their masses and hold virtue above self gratification.
Kudos to Darrell, as always.
It's about damned time!
Slugger if we think our government is in a mess now, we aint"s seen nothing yet. Wait until that worthless SOB becomes DICTATOR!!!!!! Thank you so much for switching parties!!!!
what you vote for obama sicko…
Dear Congressman Issa,
More power to you and while you're at it look into Obama's birth staus. He has refused to provide any good proof as to whether he is Natural Born Citizen and thus qualified to be USA President as required by our US Constitution. If the rest of Congress had any cajones they would get behind this issue and tell Obama put up the documentation including all his past records or be impeached.
Hum, now let's recount…
1. Birth cert is an abstract with no true evidence of birth in Hawaii
2. Election official from Hawaii says it's an "open" secret that there is no birth record on file
3. Seen a Kenyan birth cert AND hospital cert from Kenya with his little foot print
4. His social security number was issued from Connecticut, a state he's never lived in
Good reason to pursue Issa's course of action…
The Kenyan "birth certificate" has been proven to be a forgery. In fact, the guy who claimed to have gotten it in Kenya is a convicted forger.
The birth certificate is the official birth certificate of Hawaii and the only one that Hawaii issues (http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html).
The Election official made this claim more than a week ago, and no one has confirmed it.
In contrast, the facts on the birth certificate were confirmed twice by the officials in Hawaii and by the governor of Hawaii, and by this witness (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2170432/posts)
Social security number issue is a claim by birthers. No official has said a word. No investigation has been launched.
why is it when anyone questions his credentials,, that he has spend millions of tax payers money on keeping out of public light , we are labeled Birthers. look at what he has done in Az … given part of the us to Mexican control,,warned Americans to stay out of OUR National Park.. if you want to come on here and portray Obama as a saint ,, then by all means list something the lying Muslim Bastard has done for the AMERICAN PEOPLE?????????
i am wit all americans ,,,either obama goes or we fight for all americans..you can not or will never take our guns or what every obama thinks he can do..these dumbocraps are behind this loser obama and they will pay and they should be made to pay all money stolen from the american people and should be imprisoned for life….
I don't think this should have gotten out this early. The Democrats will pull out the big guns to win in Nov. Can you say Labor thugs, fix ballot boxes, etc. They will be desperate to keep the power. They will not go down in defeat quietly. But lets get them defeated and worry about the noise after. Good luck Congressman Issa, I am with you all the way. I may not have the means to support any efforts financialy, but I keep getting info about Obama out on the web the best I can. So many people are not even aware Obama has not even produced a birth certificate or any other document as to who he really is. People should have read his books prior to the election and they would have found out more about him. He wrote it himself too.
McCain was a progressive just like Bush, but Obama is way beyond progressive and both of them! He's out to destroy this country as a republic and make it a socialist state. He's also out to turn us over to Muslims and Sharia law, which is… beyond my most horrible of dreams.
At the time of the 2008 elections we as a nation were still asleep. We got bumped a bit in our slumber with Bush but not enough to really wake up as a whole, but now… Obama campaigned on everything he knew the nation wanted to hear, transparency, no back room deals, no pork, no bailouts, etc.. The majority of the nation bought it and believed his lies. But, that's all it was and has been. All lies.
McCain wasn't a good choice, but back then the repubs were drinking the kool aid, too. But, if you look to a group of people who woke up to the truth and have chosen to get back to the constitution, that would be the repubs over the dems any day. The dems still embrace that it is an outdated document. Is it? Would sharia law be better for us? I don't think so… http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2…
bout time sum 1 did sumthin! i ben sayin all long folks dat he a commonist.
So says the wolf in sheep's clothing!
The question is why is it we are waiting again?
Ok lets say you go for a job interview, with a "highest security clerance," if you have zero backround do you really think you will get the job?
So why is it he has the job?
Perhap a better question is – whos been paid off to allow this to happen, we know the DOJ is in it up to their eyes, but then again just what is it that the DOJ has ever done for the United States again? Oh nothing.
So next we have to ask why is it again we are waiting? When the law of the land is preverted its time to act NOW not later not next week next year not when it feels right, it feels wrong and has felt that way from day one. Oh and I see a lot of congress and WH staff and a VP, SS, and SOH all going down on this when we get someone with a bloody spine to act. And by the way many a federal judge will be in that same wagon with them.
By the way this falls under the "TREASON duirng War time," it has only one outcome, that being to hang by the neck until dead. Hey, I didn't write the law that just what it says.
The courts are stonewalling the citizens' lawsuits against Obama and even the Supreme Court sent one case that bypassed a lower elgibility court case which means it was not too important for them to expedite the case like the Supreme Court did during Watergate. Our best hope is for this GOP majority because although both the House and Senate have a judicial committee there doesn't seem to be a party majority now to do something similar. It was the Senate Judaical committee that qualified McCain as a natural born citizen and that was most likely because the Democrat majority Senate accepted that but not to qualify Obama since he was a Democrat in the running.
Since we "technically" are at war – what are we doing in the middle east – then it IS treason. Likewise, the battle on the southern border of the US is at war with the drug lords and human smugglers, with them taking over part of Arizona that the feds won't defend or protect any longer. We need more people like Issa in power to actually DO SOMETHING about all this corruption instead of suing states for trying to uphold the laws of the land. If they do an in-depth investigation there could be a lot of politicians in jail – in ALL parties. Then take their illegally gotten gains and pay off the debt they've driven up! Obamagate is coming!
Pray that the vote goes his way so he can live up to what he claims. Our 'Republican' vote has achieved nothing, where's the beef. They need to start showing some results if I'm going to stay onboard with them. Its all about accomplishments and I've seen none since Bush's second mid-term election, but seems the 'Democrats' get their way, to a certain extent, when they are the minority party. The 'Republicans' need to learn from the 'Democrats' how to be a steamroller when they become the majority party, not inept like in the past.
Prayer is GOOD; I do it a LOT….but we need to be putting our "boots on the ground" to GOTV if we want to take back our gov't in Nov! Then, READ THE CONSTITUTION…and act on it! No more "mr niceguy" the accomplishments we need to make s/b to give US CITIZENS(only)back their Liberty.
U R right RHH, we are way too accomadating to the Dems in the spirit of bipartisanship that WE(gop)end up sacrificing our own principles to be "liked"….Folks-we need to campaign this time(starting NOW!)like we're 30 pts down;keep it up till NOV 2. We can't take this victory for granted.
as for the investigations—we're kidding ourselves IF we think we can actually get Hearings now; the Dems are solidly in control-that's the whole problem-but keep asking and screaming about all of his wrongdoings as it will give us momentium for victory and support WHEN we get the Hearings(it won't be something we just pulled out of the air @ the time) AND THAT'S THEIR JOB!!!!
<DIV>May GOD hear and act on our prayers. HE knows what evil we are under right now, but I fear that not enough are choosing as Joshua and his family did right before they stood up and took action for what they knew was what GOD wanted of them. For all those who have chosen GOD's way, HE has a plan for themthat only HE knows. I don't know how this is all going to turn out, but I am sure that GOD will take care of his own. Jesus told his disciples that he who sees sin andsays ordoes nothing about it is as guilty as the sinner. We all must ask GOD for discernment and take action against this evil we are under. May GOD bless you and please keep praying!

Those investigations need to start now. Obama is planning that there will not be a 2010 election because he is planning on using the gulf oil spill to evacuate millions of people from the gulf coast and create a situation to call on martial law. With martial law the elections will be canceled and he will maintain his power in congress.
Obama does not want the oil spill to be resolved any time soon.
Check out the following link about his plans of the oil spill and get this information out. http://www.examiner.com/x-47432-Baton-Rouge-Repub…
obama with a small o is a puppet. And George Soros is the puppet master. Isn't it Strange George Soros is the owner of a oil com. in Brazil. And after a phone call to the white house from George Soros. obama the puppet puts a stop to all oil drilling in the Gulf. And George Soros needs the oil drilling rigs in Brazil. Do you think the oil com. will just stop drilling or move the rigs to Brazil. And then they don't cap the oil leak. The puppet talk caps & trade. Now who makes (MONEY) with cap & trade. George Soros, Al Gore. Makes one wonder did the oil well really blow up by its self. never happen before, not in 60 years. And then there's health care do you think the puppet really cares about you when he's got millions and won't help his brother who lives in a 6 ft. by 8 ft. mud hut. I'm sure he cares more about you, then he does about his brother.
Do you find it a little strange that Goldman-Sachs sold almost 58% of their shares in BP just days before the explosion?
Obama was born in the USA as his official birth certificate from Hawaii shows, and the facts on the document were confirmed twice by the officials in Hawaii and once by the governor of Hawaii. And there is NO proof that he was born in Kenya, and his Kenyan grandmother said repeatedly that Obama was born in Hawaii, and in another interview she said that the first she had heard of the birth was in a letter from Hawaii.
i watched two interviews with her that she stated he was born in Kenya, the prime minister has stated that Obama's birth place is now a landmark in Kenya ,,,have another sip of Koolaid
I've (and my husb)have been saying for a LONG TIME o is nothing more than a puppet; how else could he have sooo much time to plan golf?! and yes, I do believe he is happy about how nicely he has destroyed our Gulf Coast; the jobs lost as he shuts down oil rigs is part of his master plan via Soros et al. It's really hard to "wrap your head around" that someone is deliberately doing this but that's all part of his strategy……….the rt hand is this, but the lf hand is that infernal pushing of Cap and Tax(Trade). His multi-pronged approach is to do so much on so many fronts that we can't keep up with it. and don't be surprized if we don't have a 2012 election. It won't happen in 2010; when he's got what he wants, he(thinks he) can get rid of Congress-or just bypass it, like he's already doing. Venezuala, or Cuba, anyone?
A-Men
Oh I cannot wait for that glorious day!
Awesome! 39 GOP seats and Subpoena power to investigate Obama and his Administration. WE need to pass the word on this because you won't hear this on the main news media. The light is at the end of the tunnel for begining of the end for Obama. We have to try to get more people to vote for Congress members who will support this. Hallelujah!
I once thought that we could wait until 2012. I am not so sure now. Seems like this madman is helbent to destroy us as soon as he can. This Gulf Oil mess is just a symptom of his disease.
we cannot wait until 2012 and it is very possible that Obama will be impeached by then if we get the Congress majority this Nov who will up hold the Constitution and honor the will of the people. A safe bet is to back a proven conservative for Congress and get most of them out. NO birth certificate and a deceased man's social security number from Connecticut and falsified Selective Service document all related to Obama and there will be more to come because this guy has a shady past and ran with crooks in Chicago.
THIS IS FOR ELLEN: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THESE YEARS? DID YOU JUST WAKE UP FROM HIBERNATION? YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT THIS ILLEGAL ALIEN -IMPOSTOR WHO TAKES UP SPACE IN THE OVAL OFFICE-WITH ( 88 ) ALIASES-YES ( 88 ) ALIASES AND 27S.S.#'S FOR HIS OWN TRAITOR-TREASON USE WHO IS THE " WORST,YES-WORST" PLAYING POUS AND NEEDS REMOVED FROM THE POSITION WHERE HE IS IN WHAT EVER MATTER IT TAKES. YOUR PROBABLY ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR THIS SOCIALIST,MARXIST,MUSLIM -ISLAMIC JIHADIST RED FISTED-DICTATOR WHO IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY AND CONSTITUTION AND HATES AMERICA BUT VERY -LOYAL TO HIS " MUSLIM ISLAMIC BRO'S". YOU CAN KEEP YOUR "CHANGE AND HOPE" I'LL KEEP MY THOUGHTS-FREE SPEECH-CHANGE AND HOPE FOR A BETTER AMERICA AND HOPE USA SOON GETS RID OF THIS " EVIL -DEVIL-OBUMM.

I agree even though I am republican I was not for McCain but there were no other choice!!!
Please go to this link and read it! Everyone is asking, "what can I do?" Here's what you can do, and me, and everyone we can get to do the same!!! http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/1205…
READ ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM. We, the people, can each file a criminal complaint against obama. There's an example at the bottom on the link we can use to file at our own County Courthouses.
i git caugght doin sunthin wrong they puts me in jail. why obama not in jail yet? i ben waitin?
sobama and his cohorts staged this oil disaster. Think about it. his behavior gives him away. He MUST be stopped before he does us in. We must arm ourselves and seek proper firearm training. We will need it!!
Obama is a fraud and a traitor: http://americangrandjury.org/public/
gas goin up!
Congressman Darrell Issa,
You are the best Christian Arab-American I know. I'm glad I'm in your Congressional District. Go get that usurping Kenyan Muslim. He is unfit for command. Impeachment is in order.
You shall be re-elected to the U.S. House of Representative. U.S. Senator is next. We need to get rid of Traitor Dianne Feinstein and replace her with you. Go get 'em!

At this rate of destruction we won't see "fall" and you know it!!!
Seems Like Maybe You Better Vette The Investigators That Target The Manchurian Paperless Muslim President Barry Soetoro AKA Berick Obama, Yikeess, First Look For Anything About The Truth Of This Imposter, We Have No Idea Who He Really Is And Where He Came From?? Most Snakes Hide Under Rocks So Have A Few Investigators Working In The Fields, Yippee. God Bless America.
Obama_ With all we know about what he is doing with our country is enough to impeach him,let alone what we know about his past with all his gangster friends. HE IS TAKING AWAY ALL OUR FREEDOM.
"Rep. Darrell Issa, the conservative firebrand whose specialty is lobbing corruption allegations at the Obama White House, is making plans to hire dozens of subpoena-wielding investigators if Republicans win the House this fall."
I guess those plans are kinda slow in developing.
