Issa 'wouldn't feel bad' if Obama reelected due to strong economy

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for President Obama to win reelection, one of his top Republican critics said Thursday.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the tenacious chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said his top goal is to work with the administration to revive the economy. And if Obama were to win another term as a byproduct, so be it.

"I hope we can do that together," Issa said of job-creation efforts. "I probably still won't vote for him, but I certainly wouldn't feel bad if Americans were working again, and he did get another four years."

Don’t worry Darryl it isn’t going to happen. This economy is going to take 4-6 years because Obostruction is in the WH. Besides you have investigating to do on lots of shenanigans. The Constitution is what matters and the may economy be damned until you fix the more important things first.

Beg to differ...it would be the worst thing. If America can vote again for Hussein then its came over for our future.

Considering that Obozo and his minions are employing Keynesian economic ideology, I seriously doubt this administration will do much to create jobs over the next three, four, or more years.

Issa sounds like a Leftist Lite - if he can’t find anything better than Leftist propaganda to get behind, then he’s a real disappointment.

I forgive him, as I doubt that he ever heard of the SUPREME COURT.

WTF? Darryl just keep investigating and hopefully you can help Barry out of office before 2012. Never to return. By 2012 we will probably have seen the crash of the dollar and food riots. I wouldn’t worry too much about the economy rebounding anytime soon.

It’s political speak. Issa also wouldn’t be unhappy if Obama were re-elected because hell froze over.

I think Issa was saying if Obama actually came to his senses and figured out the only way to save the economy was to cut government spending and taxes and the economy recovered he wouldn’t feel bad about it. But that will happen when hell freezes over.

Sorry, Rep Issa. Obama isn’t going to take the bait. He’s not interested in reviving the economy.

I don't think anyone has ever been re-elected with the unemployment rate above 8% in the post-WW2 era. (That would be a "real" unemployment rate, not a gov't-massaged number.)

I don't see how that can happen. Even if the Supremes kill that huge Obamacare employment penalty before November 2012.

I know this is probably only political speak, and he doesn’t really mean it. At least, I hope so.

But I still say, “Dumb de dumb dumb.”

Can anyone imagine a leading Democrat saying this about President Bush? I hope he gets re-elected because he fixed the economy? I don’t think so. You don’t win elections by spinning fantasies like this. When you have your opponent on the ropes, attack, attack, attack.

"I probably still won't vote for him,..." Huh, if you aren't sure then you ain't a Republican. I can understand the desire to help America, but the waffling on who he would vote for...that's inexcusable.

What the Hell is wrong with these so-caled conservative ass hats? The Brown Clown in the White Hut has declared a Fatwa on the United States and these idiots take it about as seriously as winning or losing a high school football game?

I wonder what Issa really said, if anything at all.

It's interesting that he's the target of a media that is trying to peel him off from the rest of the pack, now that he's the chair of a major House committee.

This is PsyOps. The MSM is trying to undermine Issa before his committee gets up to full steam.
