I agree with Issa as it will be us that will define success. The definition of success will be determined by the Republicans.

LOL—don’t get your knickers in a twist. This remark just sent cold shivers down the spines of those crooks and czars in the WH.

I would like to see the entire quote this was taken from. The Dummy media is infamous for taking comments out of context.

“Make the President a success” Sounds like Gibbs tries to do that too!

Context is everything:

“My job is to make the president a success,” the California congressman said on a conference call with reporters, adding that his oversight of the executive branch will help eliminate waste, fraud and abuse.

But while trying to keep his image in check, Issa made clear his plans on several important issues that will have big impacts.

His first priority will be ensuring the Obama administration answers every letter he sent them requesting information during the last Congress.

“First and foremost we’re gonna ask that all the letters we’ve sent…that we get answers to them. And I expect many of them will have information coming to us well before I get sworn in in January,” Issa said.

That’s a lot of letters, and some of them had some rather interesting questions in them.

Issa also vowed to dig deeper into the discounted mortgages Countrywide Financial Corp. offered to key lawmakers.

“That’s a scandal that isn’t finished yet,” Issa said in a rare departure from his conspicuously subdued tone.

Issa said a top priority would be “figuring out Freddie and Fannie should continue existing as they are,” given that the two government backed financial giants continue to suck billions of dollars from the federal teat.

OK, marking down Issa on the "enemies" list for 2012.

Before you go haywire “listing” Issa —He is one of a handful of congressmen to receive this award - for standing for conservative principles. He is quite simply a great man.
