Can THIS congress be expected to investigate itself . . . . or impeach the first black man president???

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

Remember how well congress handled the impeachment of Bill Clinton . . . . it didn't, it should have!
Now look,

HERSHEY, Pa.— Rep. Darrell Issa, the conservative firebrand whose specialty is lobbing corruption
allegations at the Obama White House, is making plans to hire dozens of
subpoena-wielding investigators if Republicans win the House this fall.

The California Republican’s daily denunciations draw cheers from
partisans and bookings from cable TV producers. He even bought his own
earphone for live shots. But his bombastic style and attention-seeking
investigations draw eye rolls from other quarters. Now, he’s making
clear he won’t be so easy to shrug off if he becomes chairman of the
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in 2011.

Issa has told Republican leadership that if he becomes chairman, he
wants to roughly double his staff from 40 to between 70 and 80. And he
is not subtle about what that means for President Barack Obama.

At a recent speech to Pennsylvania Republicans here, he boasted about
what would happen if the GOP wins 39 seats, and he gets the power to
subpoena.

“That will make all the difference in the world,” he told 400
applauding party members during a dinner at the chocolate-themed
Hershey Lodge. “I won’t use it to have corporate America live in fear
that we’re going to subpoena everything. I will use it to get the very
information that today the White House is either shredding or not
producing.”

In other words, Issa wants to be to the Obama administration what Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) was to the Clinton administration — a subpoena machine in search of White House scandals.

Even if Republicans don’t take the House, Issa has other ambitions.
Those close to him say he is eyeing a potential run for a leadership
post, even though he’s a two-time loser for Republican policy chairman.

Issa also is trying to build his national brand, traveling to
Pennsylvania for a summer Republican meeting. He basked in praise for
his role in creating “Job-gate,” a mini scandal that forced the White
House to admit that former President Bill Clinton tried to coax Rep. Joe Sestak out of the Democratic Senate primary in Pennsylvania by offering him an unpaid job.

After calling the White House “corrupt” and Obama’s presidency
“failed,” Issa reiterated his claims that — despite a contrary
assessment from most experts — the administration violated federal law
with the Sestak imbroglio.

If the stakes are high enough, conservatives MAY take the high road in investigations and the possibility of impeachment proceedings against Obama . . . . BUT . . . .only if WE the people make them do it!
