Republicans are sitting on their behinds and doing nothing but create a political side show while they attack Attorney General Eric Holder. The Republicans, under the leadership of Rep. Darrell Issa, are investigating events that transpired under the Bush administration. Do you know how many of the people associated with the Bush administration have been called to testify? Zero! Issa is out to harm Eric Holder and the President, while he delays important legislation. Right now, seven million college students are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for Congress to act on the college loan legislation. If the Republicans in the House do not act, seven million college students will see their college interest loans double.
Rep. Darrell Issa once lived in Cleveland Heights, and people there know of his reputation. More recently, Ryan Lizza wrote an article for the New Yorker about Darrell Issa:
...Issa, it turned out, had, among other things, been indicted for stealing a car, arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, and accused by former associates of burning down a building.
In May of 1998, Lance Williams, of the San Francisco Examiner,
reported that Issa had not always received the “highest possible”
ratings in the Army. In fact, at one point he “received unsatisfactory
conduct and efficiency ratings and was transferred to a supply depot.”
Williams also discovered that Issa didn’t provide security for Nixon at
the 1971 World Series, because Nixon didn’t attend any of the games.
A
member of Issa’s Army unit, Jay Bergey, told Williams that his most
vivid recollection of the young Issa was that in December, 1971, Issa
stole his car, a yellow Dodge Charger. “I confronted Issa,” Bergey said
in 1998. “I got in his face and threatened to kill him, and magically my
car reappeared the next day, abandoned on the turnpike.”
