Darrell Issa

Rep. Darrell Issa, the incoming House Oversight and Government Reform chairman, called President Obama "one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times." He has since backed off of the remark, kind of, saying that he only meant that the administration is corrupt. This is still, however, name calling. Now it's just a little less honest. It does nothing to address a single problem facing the President and Congress. Is the next step, after you call someone the most corrupt President of all time, to work with them to solve problems? Does name calling like this make it easier to convince the public to accept legislation that might be confusing, unfamiliar, counter intuitive, or even call on them to make sacrifices? We, as Americans, need to have no tolerance for behavior like this by our elected representatives. I think California's 49th Congressional District needs a new Representative.
