Issa: "Obama has one of the most corrupt administrations"

[Iosif]

All these claims of incompetence...

To what high standard of competence and good governance are we comparing this administration to? The last administration? Lying the country into a war, outing CIA agents because you don't like their husbands, rewriting laws to torture people. It's a miracle they lasted 8 years with just the one conviction. Or we comparing it to Mr Arkansas ol' southern charm Bill with interns under his desk giving him blowies? Or old senile Ron selling weapons to the Iranians and illegally overthrowing sovereign governments? Carter? Maybe Ford pardoning a crock that anointed him President? Or Nixon that crock that was President?

I don't know what's more predictable - a jackass former car thief baselessly labeling a government of the opposing party corrupt or idiots on a twobit asinine chat forum populated by 12 year olds labeling a government they don't like incompetent when all that government's done is try to make the best out of a bad situation while trying to fulfill their campaign promises.

Corruption is not the same as incompetence. Maybe the administration is corrupt; it is certainly incompetent. I doubt that Issa is planning to back up his statements, though if there is corruption within the Obama administration, the impressive amount of incompetence will presumably allow it to leak through anyhow.

I never said that they were the same. I said those two things are likely, given the failures so far. Someone put words in my mouth that I believed that they were the same.

A question. If you're a right winger, why are you a Democrat?

I'm not.

Maybe I've been living in a cave, but exactly what corruption is the administration going to be accused of?

Y'know, George---"Socialistism"

Then why, and I'm only curious here, do you have a Dem-colored and labeled  avatar?

In an interview on CNN, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) defended comments he had previously made that President Obama is "one of the most corrupt presidents of modern times" by offering an alternate definition of "corrupt."

Said Issa: "I think people misunderstand the meaning of the word corrupt, and obviously, CNN does. 'Corrupt', or 'corrupted' or 'failure', it's no different than a disc drive that's given you some bits that are wrong."
