Issa, who as chairman will have subpoena power, said he will seek to ferret out waste across the federal bureaucracy. While he used fiery rhetoric in describing the Obama administration in a series of television interviews Sunday, he said he will focus on wasteful spending, not the prosecution of White House officials.

On the CNN show, Issa said: "When I look at waste, fraud and abuse in the bureaucracy and in the government, this is like steroids to pump up the muscles of waste."

His real goal is to tie up Congress so nothing gets done, therefore the Republican Tea Party can blame President Obama for not moving the Country forward.

INTEGRITY is not based upon one's success, but on HOW they achieved their success ... and, what they do with the power once they've acquired it. Apparently, the AMBITIOUS Obamas believe that the ends justify the means. After spending 20 years in Jeremiah Wright's anti-American church, Barack assumed his senatorial position not through democracy, but by having his opponent disqualified for a minor infraction. He then wasted time in the senate, voting present 130 times. To get elected, Barack made empty promises about reform and transparency, while he threw long time supporters under the bus. Ambitious Michelle, used Barack's clout to triple her income at a Chicago hospital, for a B.S. job ... and, now that they have the power, they have no respect for the hard earned money of the American tax payers, as they redistribute our wealth, limit our freedoms, and indulge in a lavish lifestyle. In addition, facts about Barack's origins, affiliations, education, and qualifications are quite murky ... and, any attempt to challenge or clarify these facts, are met with opposition and contempt.

    Howard I disagree with everything you say, especially the part about his lavish life style? He owns one house in Chicago and yes they are affluent, but they aren't multi millionaires like most Republican politicians. He travels like all Presidents, but he has spent far less time on vacation than President Bush, who I believe set the record.
