Issa: "Obama has one of the most corrupt administrations"

I wonder how Dave Leip would characterize this statement.

Incoming House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said that his committee does not plan to investigate the White House's reported efforts to get Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) out of last year's Pennsylvania Senate Democratic primary, noting that it has since been revealed that the Bush administration made similar efforts in previous years. "It was wrong if it was done in the Bush administration; it's wrong in the Obama administration," Issa said, adding that his committee focuses mainly on issues of waste, fraud and abuse. Issa also clarified that when he previously said during a radio interview that Obama "has been one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times," he was referring to the Obama administration and not the president himself.

"In saying that this is one of the most corrupt administrations, which is what I meant to say there," Issa said, "when you hand out $1 trillion in TARP just before this president came in, most of it unspent, $1 trillion nearly in stimulus that this president asked for, plus this huge expansion in healthcare and government, it has a corrupting effect."

Maybe I've been living in a cave, but exactly what corruption is the administration going to be accused of?

I don't know yet.

Something is off about this administration, though. It could be corrupt. It could be just flat out inept.

Something is off about you. You could be partisan. Or you could be just flat out idiot.

LOL!

In an interview on CNN, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) defended comments he had previously made that President Obama is "one of the most corrupt presidents of modern times" by offering an alternate definition of "corrupt."

Said Issa: "I think people misunderstand the meaning of the word corrupt, and obviously, CNN does. 'Corrupt', or 'corrupted' or 'failure', it's no different than a disc drive that's given you some bits that are wrong."
