Darrell Issa Blasts the Propaganda Presidency, Accuses Administration of Abuse of Office
Darrell Issa (R-CA), ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and Judiciary Committee, has issued a 37-page report (PDF) that accuses the White House of “an unprecedented number of public relations and propaganda efforts,” including efforts that the committee found to be inappropriate or illegal.
Executive branch agencies cited in the propaganda efforts include the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Justice, Department of Transportation, and the White House itself. The report also criticizes the White House for using the reach of the executive branch to funnel citizens to a website owned and operated by the Democratic National Committee.
According to the executive summary of the report:
The Obama Administration frequently used federal resources to promote the President’s agenda. In many cases, the Administration relied on the reach and resources of federal agencies and their personnel to promote certain of the President’s favorite programs. The White House also leveraged ties to the arts and entertainment community to embed propaganda in the content of television programming and artwork. These propaganda efforts violated appropriations riders and federal law prohibiting the use of appropriated funds for publicity or propaganda purposes.
The White House also used its inherent visibility advantages to multiply the effectiveness of websites containing misleading and controversial information. The White House used its resources to push visitors to websites that urge grassroots activism based on false and misleading information. The President’s right to sell his policy recommendations to Congress and the public is not disputed; however, using the resources of the federal government to activate a sophisticated propaganda and lobbying campaign is an abuse of office and a betrayal of the President’s pledge to create “an unprecedented level of openness in Government.”
Formally titled “Analysis of the First Year of the Obama Administration: Public Relations and Propaganda Initiatives,” the report accuses the administration of two basic types of propaganda to push the president’s agenda:
- Misusing the resources of federal agencies to publicize the president’s agenda; and,
- Multiplying traffic to websites containing propaganda by capitalizing on the visibility of the president and pre-existing campaign relationships.
One of the more shocking abuses listed in the report is the Department of Justice’s hiring of a liberal blogger, apparently with the express intention of attacking conservative bloggers.
Explosion inside my head. It is as though the Government has turned into the keepers of the animals in a zoo. The animals need to be nurtured or allowed to languish, bred or spayed at the whim of the keepers. The Government has consciously created a zoo-like theme park in which it is impossible to tell why some people are on display behind bars and other people are so proud of the naturalistic cages that have been designed for them. However, there is one thing about which both the keepers and the inmates are in agreement. For sure the bars need to be solid and well-formed to protect the keepers from their wards, for if the imprisoned people ever get out of their enclosures, the keepers are finished. Let us see who will be eating whom this Thanksgiving! It would be better if we were all vegetarians, but it looks like Obama does not want it that way.
Dr. Hanson: The enigma, as I see it, is not “How did we arrive at this situation?”. Clearly it is the result of the usurpation of the educational system by Marx-generated teaching. Several generations of college graduates have been taught to be ashamed of the prosperity in which they were raised, beneficiaries of greedy, unjust, uncompassionate capitalism, our history stained with the blood of those we have oppressed. With no instruction in reasoning, they go forth in their millions, self-righteous in their determination to “make the world a better place”, eager to find a job in government or NFP organization and tell everybody else what they must do. Preeminent among those are moral equivalence and non-judgmentalism: no criticism, no superiority, no American exceptionalism, no profiling – essential to safety and survival, personal or societal.
These, and the Christianity-lite churches, confident that if Jesus were alive today he would be a disciple of Obama, are his constituency.
For me the enigma is: “Why are there no strong voices on the right bluntly, forthrightly, and loudly identifying this Administration as what even superficial research reveals, wholly committed to doctrinaire socialism?” Communism is not dead in the U.S.A. It never went away. Bill Ayers, Obama’s patron, shows the Red Star rising on his website. Why do conservative, writers, editors, columnist, scholars, persist in insisting to refer to those committed to destroying our free-enterprise system and voiding our Constitution and Bill of rights, as Leftists, progressives, or liberals? Just as they quail at the thought of speaking of Islamic terrorists. even when those who sponsored them plan to erect a memorial to their”martyrs” directly at the site of what millions of muslims consider a great victory.
I believe it is fear of being called “McCarthyite”. Even though Bill Buckley went to considerable lengths to demonstrate that McCarthy was right, as the archival record confirms. Afraid to offend those whose strategy is Alinsky’s!!
This Adminstration knows that that its greatest threat is to have to defend itself against a well-planned campaign centered on its transparent commitment to Socialist ideology in the Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez pattern. With the stakes so high and the peril so great, why the reluctance to speak out?
Churchill’s conundrum,
Hey Stuart,
I think you posted this on the wrong thread. This is Bob Owens article. I read Dr. Hanson’s piece too, and this is a great comment though
Simple, the people in the position to actually make their voice heard and stop this are gaining more power( in their minds ) and money.
We have not yet arrived at the Chavez scenario, ( if bribery does not work, place them in jail, or worse )
Coming soon to a country near you.
Conundrum indeed! Why would anyone that has recognized a single proud example of elected or appointed governments defense or twisted denial of openly railroaded support legislation for continued destructive pharmaceutical, financial, educational, and communications future ever believe that an autumn vote harvest will be a cornucopia of government healing. Recognizing the wild cards that have been shuffled into their tarot deck should convince all to expect more of the same in November. The party owned media pot beginning to call the kettle black may be synonymous with rats leaving a sinking ship but a well established proud judicial bulwark may delay any favorable outcome long enough for the maggots to morph into the pupa stage of the blow flies that they are. Hope for the best but plan for the worst.
This is a good first step and will read the report in its entirety.
This is totally RIDICULOUS. What administration has NOT used the White House to advance their political interests?
Rep. Issa is well known as a regressive hater of humanity. He’ll do ANYTHING to obstruct what he considers his opponents. Always wasting taxpayer money and doing nothing constructive.
I keep getting his spam mail asking for money, requesting people to block government efforts and exposing totally insane ideas. The problem is that some of his constituents are worse than what he might be.
I remember how vicious and hysterical leftypig squealing got in 2000 and 2004. I see such comments as these as one more confirmation that the Demonrats will be toast in November.
Vivo, just because previous administrations have done this doesn’t make it right.
Barack Obama promised that “change” was coming and that he was for a transparent government and how he’s not like other politicians.
So far, I haven’t seen it.
My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
Please, do not feed the troll. If we ignore it, it will eventually tire of the game and go away.
I agree. vivo must be a code name for Tiffany Russo.
CONSERVATIVE WANDERER,
If you are referring to Obama as the TROLL. He is not going away without our assistance. I will continue to feed him the TRUTH. It tends to create anxiety in him.

Since my comment was a reply (note the indenting) to vivo’s comment, I thought it readily apparent I was referring to him/her/it as a troll.
If you’re not familiar with the concept of online trolls, there are numerous references out there about them. I suggest you educate yourself.
And it will get hungry and eat its young.
HI Vivo! Remember me? Your old buddy Baal from PJM! Long time no see. I just wanted to remind you since we haven’t got to talk in so very long that your messiah used to turn tricks for a slumlord! Yep! He worked those means streets of the windy city and made mad cash for his sugar daddy!
I know you don’t like to think about that, but I’m gonna remind you every single time you show up here!
Vivo semper bibo.
Isn’t it cute when they get all self – righteously outraged like that?
‘The problem is that some of his constituents are worse than what he might be.’
Eh? So how bad is that ‘might be’? On a scale of one to ten of might be’s, that is. Do you have a magic, ‘might be’ measuring device?
This a classic of the Left’s debating style, merely projected negative abstracts which suddenly take on a life of their own, as if fact.
Our very own left dominated BBC and not forgetting the Guardian are masters of the tactic.
And the best of the lot, the now ousted Labour party, partying with projection like it’s 1997 (the year they were elected.)
Coincidentaly they were also accused of utilising public funds for their own ends, putting out highly partisan public service ad after ad, glorifying the great state and it’s growing reach and power, couched as ‘aren’t we just wonderful, giving you all this benefit’.
No mention of course that that ‘benefit’ was bought and paid for by us and the taxation funding this largesse was reaching crippling levels.
It usually peaked immediately prior to an election or as a clumsy way to wash over bad news.
Labour are now gone and so will Obama.
He’s walking a strange islamo/leftist path these days, not quite the electoral promise and the ratings are plunging.
A spot of caveat emptor, next time, chaps?
Vivo you must be that Tracy Russo chick that’s spoken about in the article. The report notes that these efforts include Russo searching online for news items and blog entries critical of the president’s agenda, and then attacking the author or contents either anonymously or through a pseudonym.
The shoe fits.
“Rep. Issa is well known as a regressive hater of humanity.”
Hmmm, do you suppose your use of hyperbole is doing “ANYTHING” to advance your political interests? “Regressive hater of humanity“. Geeze I sure hope you flunked English 101 for excessive use of tawdriness.
Vivo is known as a progressive hater of reason and common sense.
vivo=tiffany russo
I propose that from now on, any time vivo posts, we just respond with: “Whatever, Tiffany.”
The article says “Tracy” Russo….which is it??????
You mean Tiffany Russo, the PORNSTAR!?
Yikes. I guess times are tough after all.
Amazing that the Obama administration is doing everything that liberals claimed that George W. Bush was doing for eight years.
Now where’s the fiery outrage from liberals on this? Where are their marches for a fair government? Boy, it’s quite quiet, isn’t it?
It’s an old truism–want to know what a liberal is up to? Listen to the accusations he hurls against his opponents and you’ll have your answer.
This is so true. Everything the Left said about George W. Bush is true…of Barack Obama.
I wonder how many times Mrs. Russo made it over to our beloved Pajamas Media.
You mean how many times while on the DOJ payroll or a grand total?
GM: Yes, I noticed that immediately, too. That phrase leaps out at the reader as a particularly clumsily-written leftist talking point.
In no way am I an apologist for WH propaganda, but I’m not convinced that Issa’s report isn’t the pot calling the kettle black. Why, for example, is a minority-party member of congress issuing what appears to be a report for a House committee? Nowhere in the actual report can I find the names of other committee members actually responsible for the report. Has Issa’s report been published strictly by Issa and his staff? If, in fact, what appears to be a congressional committee report is put out strictly by one or more Republicans, then that report on its face would appear to be quintessential propaganda. I hope I’m wrong in my suspicions; voting is much easier when the slime comes primarily from only one party.
I too was wondering how Issa could issue a report such as this without his counterparts – who are the majority in that committee. Not that that particular balance is likely to hold up come January 2011.
I guess Issa could be accused of being a propagandist too, eh?
Not that the charges he’s leveled aren’t accurate. I see it as fighting fire with fire.
anyone can issue a report or a study. it does not say commtiee report.
Dr. Goebbels would be proud.

I don’t think anybody should abuse his or her office while trying to be president or anybody! Its not right because its wrong. Lets face facts, Islamic terrorists arent nice people. They take the wisdom that Mohammed teached and twisted it like a little garbage bag twist tie. Doing that causes any truth to be misconceptionilized. And you know what happens after you keep twisting that twist tie on your garbage bag? It breaks off! Do we really want that to happen? Breaking off all ties to our Muslim breathren? I think not!
They take the wisdom that Mohammed teached…
What was that ? Beat the woman lightly about the face when she won’t toe the line ? Refuse to sleep with her until she becomes more compliant ? (that was probably a relief to Mohammed’s assortment of consorts and wives)
How to divide up the spoils of raids and marauding ?
Rules for hating “the Jews”, favorite targets for Mohammed’s raids ?
What ?
“hate” is a four letter word. I think persons need to rise above the fray, you know? Christ taut us to turn the other cheek. No, I dont think its okay to beat a woman or any of Christ’s living creatures. And I don’t think Mohammed or his followers ever said anything about hating Jews. You have some issues that are not as black and white as they appear. Sometimes things are beige, you know?
Guess who the apes and swine are ?
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[5.41]…and from among those who are Jews; …Those are they for whom Allah does not desire that He should purify their hearts; they shall have disgrace in this world, and they shall have a grievous chastisement in the hereafter.
[5.60] Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight path.
Reportedly, statements attributed to Mohammed in the Hadith go even farther than the Koran.
Mohammed was positively obsessed with Jews. His Jewish consort (captured in battle) and Jewish wife must have given him a hard time
Today, Mohammed’s true believers throughout the world have made hatred of “the Jews” into a way of life.
References to Jews in the Koran
tanst,
Please do not misunderstand what I am trying to say here. It is only in giving that we truly understand what it means to recieve. You can pull out things out of contents from any religion but it doesnt change the meaning of love. We must love those even those who preach hate. I am filled with the love of the Holy Spirit and I let Him guide me and protect me. As Jesus once said, “No harm will cometh to he who speaks my word and follows mine actions”. Words that I live by. That harvest is plentiful, yet the laborers are few. It is up to us,tanst, to deliver the word of Christ and spread it to all faiths. Let people rise up to the love that is in their hearts and minds!
“Sometimes things are beige” to people with no moral compass or conviction.
I DO have moral compass and CONVICTIONS!
mika you can cristian love muslims and recognize they hate jews at the same time. “love your enemy” is a teaching to give you peace not for you to ignor reality.
Mika That’s context, not contents……Also, this statement you made has me a little confused: “I am filled with the love of the Holy Spirit and I let Him guide me and protect me.” By “Him” are you speaking of Obama??????
No one should abuse their office while in power, but the topic here is the abuse being perpetrated by Barack Obama. We’re not changing the subject.
Amazing that the Obama administration is doing everything that liberals claimed that George W. Bush was doing for eight years.
Especially on the invasion of privacy topic. The yellers and screamers railed against the patriot act for years, but you get the impression these days that looking into your private data is a government right, especially under Big Sis and her DHS.
I don’t know the impact that Issa’s report will have, but it’s a good start and a relief that at least some of this stuff is being said publicly.
I have long wondered at the Executive branch’s seemingly unlimited power to do much of this stuff, wondered where are the checks and balances? (Barack has been musing on forgiving more home loan debt prior to November election and I think…Where does a President get the power to personally forgive private debt ?)
Here is a column by Chuck Green from the Denver Post. In case you didn’t know, GWB is to blame for ALL of Barack Obama’s failed promises.
Obama is victim of Bush’s failed promises
I know it’s cliche, but as a resident of Chicago I know this when I see it: It’s the Chicago way.
Obama sounds more and more like disgraced President Nixon. Between his constant use of the phrase, “let me be perfectly clear” to his love of using taxpayer money for Democrat propaganda, I suspect his future, as more and more of this comes out, will not be as President of the United States.
Don’t ya just love open and transparent government?
FTA: Has the White House used the government’s power to propagandize for political gain?
Yes. Simple answer.
Because Issa is a combative conservative, it’s predictable that the left and the media (that’s redundant) will minimize or ignore this report.
I see evidence every day that the current administration has taken control of every federal agency to promote its political agenda. I see press releases from NOAA, state and federal parks system, fish and game, forestry, education and health agencies, transportation agencies — all blatantly carry the message of federal largesse and praise of the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Employees of the agencies apparently have been instructed to lavish praise on the administration, which has usurped the vast power of the federal government to advance its political agenda.
I see press releases from NOAA…
That’s the crowd that primarily used weather data collected from stations at hotspots, asphalt, cities, airports et al. and etc. while leaving out the data from cooler, less congested weather stations.
In support of the agenda of global warming.
NOAA, NASA, the EPA (Lisa Jackson, the head of the EPA is a moron), the justice department, these people and so many more should be ashamed at allowing themselves to be co-opted by this President’s agenda.
We have a government of machination and strategy, not reality and truth.
Without any integrity in any of this process, kiss the Republic goodbye.
trannst,
I don’t think your giving the good people of the U.S. of A enough credit. President Obama can only do so much with the information he has on hand. Studies show that the oceans core temperatures have risen steadily over the past several years. The truth about our fossil fuel situation is going to creep up on us really soon. Then I guess we’ll all have the proverbially “egg on the face”. So I am not so ready as you seem to be to kiss the republicans good by as you.
So I am not so ready as you seem to be to kiss the republicans good by as you.
Sweet pea, that was kiss the Republic goodbye. And I’m not ready to kiss it goodbye, I’m mourning its demise under the direction of the cabal of domestic enemies currently running Washington DC.
So you can learn something new today, the Republic is that system of government created under the United States Constitution, that carefully crafted structure of government that Obama and cronies are working very hard to change into their version of a more “enlightened” form of government, where the federal government turns you into a dhimmi and orchestrates your every move in life.
You might like that, sell your soul to morons and never ever have to get off your butt and make something of your life.
(So many people unashamed to utter absolute drivel. 40 years of dumbing down in publick eddukashun are taking a big toll on the ole Republic)
tanst,
Just fyi, I happened to have a college degree in womens studies!
mika
tanst,
Just fyi, I happened to have a college degree in womens studies!
Go watch the movie Indoctrinate U – you aren’t as likely to brag on such a degree after watching that.
And just how does such a degree prepare you for anything but a teaching job in some college – teaching Women’s studies no less!
The truth about our fossil fuel situation is going to creep up on us really soon.
I should add, mika…
I’m hard pressed to believe that you know “the truth” about anything, from that wuddly, cuddly guy Mohammed and what he “teached” to anything involving man’s role in a warming planet to anything having to do with the nature of the 234 years of the American experience.
Silly misdirection or at least ignorance. The globe has been slowly and steadily warming since the last Ice Age. There are bumps both up and down including the little bump in the 30s that helped create the Dust Bowl and also allowed two ships to meet in the “Northwest Passage” in 1938. I haven’t heard of any ships making the NW Passage lately though.
Sour grapes is what it sound like here. i support the president if you don’t like it shove it. YOU AREN’T GOING TO SHUT ME UP I GOING TO GIVE THEM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY LIKE IT OR NOT
arnold,
You can say the same things being kind and gracious. Use kind words. I support our president to. But shouting (that’s what it seems like when you used all caps) makes people turn a blind ear to what it is you say. Peace out, bro!
Hi Tiffany, what do they pay you to defend the Propoganda and Misinformation efforts of this administration?
Interesting pseudonym by the way; not really working for you, but tries to sound more impressive.
Yeah! Sock it to the man, baby! Speak truth to power! It’s all Bush’s fault!!!!!!!
Wow man, its just too groovy.
Instead of shouting about ‘THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY’ you might actually GIVE us the OTHER SIDE.
You libs/progressives all sound the same.
I used to think liberals were somewhat smart if just a little misguided but had the ability to think logically – not any more!!!
That’s an interesting link – it’s on the daily kos – you’ve been forewarned! Just goes to show you – you never know what you’ll find on the internet these days!
The idiots on the left have no real brain power and idiots like kos seems to have less than the morons he feeds.
Did any of these fools realize that the city of Philadelphia is run by LIBERALS? Yet all their venom and anger is directed at the ones least responsible – conservatives!
Unbelievable.
Then there is a poster that complains about Colorado Springs Co not passing a TRIPLING of the property taxes which caused a chain reaction that led to many city services being shut down or curtailed – and who did this moron blame it on? Of course – conservatives. Last time I checked most if not all of Colorado is very liberal – and Colorado Springs is especially liberal. I wonder where these morons think money comes from?
And they walk among us! Scary isn’t it?
KT, are you thinking of the same Colorado Springs in the state I live in?
Really, Boulder (where I live) is very liberal. Denver is pretty liberal. The rest of the state is fairly conservative; Colorado Springs is the home of Focus on the Family and about half the Air Force and a whole lot of the Army — it’s pretty conservative.
Most lawless administration ever.
Beckah,
I think the Nixon adminstration had a few of the lawless thingys too. Please don’t judge a president based on things that may or maybe not true. “m”
mika,
“may or may not be true”…..you have got to be sipping a bit much kool aid.
obama is as devious, self serving at all cost politican that we have ever had….including Nixon.
Is this the first time our “Chosen One” has clearly stepped out of bounds? No,it isn’t,he is guilty of multiple infractions,going back to giving Clinton the Secretary of State position when it is clear that while she was a senator she voted for an increase in wages for that slot. How about chairing the United Nations,or accepting the Peace Prize,or for that matter calling himself president when it is clear he is not eligible.
So we will continue reading about the continuing Obama onslaught of the Constitution,and we will continue complaining and demanding his removal,all from the safety of our homes.
The Obama administration deserves Issa. All these Marxist don’t believe in the separation of government and political advocacy. A Republican majority will give Issa the power to investigate fully our Czars and Obama commissars. For example Obama has fired 3 GM ceo’s, I want to see them testify before Issa.
Thank you Madison for the separation of powers. These Marxist democrats are going to pileup like cord wood.
I’M SHOCKED; there’s propagandizing taking place here and now in DC. SHOCKED.
“Has the White House used the government’s power to propagandize for political gain?”
Uhhhh…..yeah. It makes me want to break things when I see this kind of teaser.
Why can this teaser not say, “Issa documents obama’s abuse of White House power and presents report…..”?
We’ve got to step it up and get over the idea that there’s any possibility that the skunk smell filling the nation’s air is anything other a skunk. Enough of our voting base was rock stupid enough to elect this fraud. Please don’t keep on demonstrating that there is still enough of our voting base (including “journalists”) stupid enough to act like we have to debate these obvious events, endlessly putting out “rhetorical questions.”
Our national house is burning because of these arsonists. Can we please stop with the group discussions about whether or not flames burn stuff up??????????
You are correct.
The subversives state their delirious dogmas as obvious truths, the Patriots speak sweetly and softly as if they were not allowed to disturb the commie elites.
It should be quite the contrary, after the crimes of 100 years of internationalist subversion….
Did you read the article?
QED.
Yes. Must I point out that my comment was about the line used to entice people to read the article? My comment was not about the article. I guess I must point that out. So now I have pointed that out. Sheesh.
I guess I know enough about this country to at least know that one of the tenants of our belief system is equal equality and justice for all. Judge not least you be judged. President Obama did not create the mess the economy is in, but everybody excpects him to solve it like, yesterday.
tenants of our belief system
That’s “tenets” mika. Tenants are people who rent space in buildings.
least you be judged.
That’s “lest you be judged” mika.
For your further enlightenment, it isn’t even the job of a US President to “fix” the economy. Nor is it within his capacity.
It should be obvious to you after 18 months, Barack Obama’s egregious spending, insertions into private enterprise and attempts to regulate have exacerbated and prolonged this nation’s economic plight.
Since Barack Obama formally declared his intention to “fundamentally transform the United States of America”, maybe things are going exactly according to plan.
Damn, you know, a college degree just isn’t what it used to be! When I got mine there was no such thing as Women’s studies. What is that anyway? Navel gazing?
When I was in college, Women’s Studies were what the guys did 24/7.The women knew they were the subject of the studies. While the guys thought they were running the study, the women would pre-select which men they wished to have studying them. All other male woman-studiers would be eliminated (without them ever knowing how it happened. Thus, in the end, each woman would have a class of 1-3 men studying her who had been selected by her. It was really quite a nice system.
I love to study me some wimmins.
women’s studies – it’s the feminazi’s version of minority studies.
My son made more right out of high school than the average holder of a degree in women’s studies. totally worthless degree. (aside from the fact mika needs remedial english.)
Hey, everyone!!! Quit feeding the troll!! Mika is a TROLL, and probably a very smart PAID one at that!! (And laughing at us all the while……)Ignore it and it will go away!!
Obama has fired 3 CEO’s of GM and spent trillions of dollars in 18 months. All the polices that got us introuble he is pushing for more. More debt, more subisties, more bailouts, more entitlements.
No one expects him to get us out of trouble becase the only thing he does is funnel money to his supporters. Obama must be stoped.
You don’t get it do you? Obama does not ‘intend’ to fix the economy. His intentions are to collapse the economy. He is a dedicated Marxist – Marxists do not like – nor do the believe in capitalizm.
If you’d bothered to look into his background you’d know this.
Why is it I get the feeling that whenever you hear words contrary to what you believe concerning Obama you stick your fingers in your ears and start singing LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA?
Right Mika, it’s not like Obama wanted the job or anything. I mean, who would have thought that spending a year and a half campaigning and $200 million would put him in charge of the country. Who could blame him if the economy sucked and couldn’t be fixed by a “present” vote.
And then constantly having to fight your policies through an adversarial Democrat-controlled Congress…WHEW! What a hard day’s work.
Did you say you have a college degree? From your posts, I infer that your courses didn’t include any written assignments. Either that, or English not be your native talk!
I really like this, and I have no doubt that this has legs. Issa needs to push this with every ounce of his power when the Republicans take the House in November. When the lights come on- the roaches will scatter. This time, we can’t let any of them survive. We need to make sure that progressivism NEVER returns as a viable political ideology in this country.
It is fundamentally un-american and anti american in practice.
We must uproot it, tree and branch, and burn it. And when we’re done with that, abolish the Departments the democrats used to perpetrate these crimes against the american people.
The tools of the state that these communists need to do these things must be abolished. The Department Of Education, The NEA, Fannie/Freddie, all must be abolished.
We will have the wind at out backs ion 2010 and 2012, the question is whether the Republican Party has the balls or will just continue to rob the taxpayer like they did under Bush/Delay.
Obama and people like him certainly did help create the economy we are in. Charles Rangel, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi and others in Congress helped create this socialist nightmare we find ourselves in. Obama was a U.S. Senator before he became President.
Display a little honesty mika.
The surprising thing, to me at least, is not the corruption, but how bad they are at it. It was pretty obvious, even to me, a lot of lines were being crossed. It wouldn’t have been that hard to make it less apparent… Guess in Chicago they don’t worry about covering up so much.
I come here a lot, but I see a smarmy new concern troll, how judgmental to reprove us for making judgments! My judgments are MY business, between me and my own conscience, thank you. This one post is enough to make me skip those posts.
I skimmed through that idiotic “report” — that’s a minute of my life completely wasted, although the section on Bush was amusing, if somewhat expected — yeah, that’s all Bush did, Gawd. And let’s just skip over the tsunami of BS that Republicans and right wingers unleashed on Obama’s plan to reform our ever crumbling health care system. YAMMR (“Yet another maliciously moronic Republican”.)
Anybody who votes Republican this November is a friggin moron — no exceptions.
Anyone who voted for Obama is a friggin’ idiot, no exceptions. Anyone who can do it twice… is a birth defect.
The impact of the report was undoubtedly lost on you, so you did waste your time with it. And then wasted your time, and ours, siting nonsense to show us how you wasted your time on a report you aren’t equipped to understand.
Makes perfect sense. Your time management skills.
First mika then BC?
What happened to our old trolls? They were of vastly superior quality to these. I’m going to complain to the DOJ and insist they get some decent propagandists back on the payroll.
To BrianH: What happened to our old trolls? They were of vastly superior quality to these. I’m going to complain to the DOJ and insist they get some decent propagandists back on the payroll.
Trolling to get your old job back, eh?
Look people, the “Anointed One” makes his chess move’s and us babbling humans need to realize that the unbelieving conspiracy “heathen” understate the issues when they say that Obama is a radical. Alas, they know not the secrets we are all going to witness. The “Anointed One” is amazing, he takes the people at the highly efficient Post Office and sends them right over to the Student Loan Program. The “Anointed One” knows all. Twitter messages were machine-gunned to cell phones at mach speed. Facebook and MySpace groups spread across the Internet like digital fire. YouTube videos featuring celebrities ricocheted across the globe and into college students’ in-boxes with devastating regularity. All the while, the Obama mega-money-raising engine whirred on at high speed, until the result became inevitable: an unthinking mass of young voters marched forward to elect the “Anointed One.”
I am not surprised to hear these stinking lies about our “Anointed One,” it should be apparent to anyone that this was coming down the pike. I do have a couple questions about future process steps concerning these developments? When the “Annointed One” decides to start bar-coding everyone, will we get to decide if the mark is on our hand or forehead? Allot of people will prefer the hand, (especially women of course), unless your a porn actress or something along those lines. Also, my girlfriend was wondering if the Administration will be getting fashion advice from Hollyweird or the New York City crowd? We are both agree that the Administration “Maoies” as the “Anointed One ” so lovingly calls them,will be getting uniforms similar to the SS uniforms in Germany in WW2. With big letters abreviating “Barack’s Socialists.” So shall we start calling them the BS?
we need a face with some ideas
An article about the blatantly obvious.
Now these are charges which can stick on impeachment… if we kick enough of the bums out of congress to get a body where we get real people instead of career jackwagons (THANK YOU R. Lee Ermy (sp?)).
That is, if we can impeach the louse in chief? Or can we only call for the removal of the lice around him?
Aside from the condescending names, I’m asking a serious question. Seriously, can we legitimately call for his impeachment over this?
