Obama calls GOP Rep. Issa ‘shameless’ for trying to portray himself as ally

President Obama launched a scathing attack on Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).............................................
The president told more than 60 donors, who had paid at least $10,000 to attend, that “Issa’s primary contribution to the United States Congress has been to obstruct and to waste taxpayer dollars on trumped-up investigations that have led nowhere. And this is now a guy who, because poll numbers are bad, has sent out brochures with my picture on them touting his cooperation on issues with me.”
“Now, that is the definition of chutzpah,” he said as members of the crowd at supporter Christine Forester’s home laughed. “Here’s a guy who called my administration perhaps the most corrupt in history despite the fact that actually we have not had a major scandal in my administration, that when Trump was suggesting that I wasn’t even born here, said, well, I don’t know, was not sure. We can pull up the quotes.”
In case the group hadn’t gotten the message, Obama said of Issa’s recent campaign brochures, “Now, that is shameless.”
Issa issued a statement Monday saying he was “disappointed but not surprised that the president, in a political speech, continues to deny accountability for the serious scandals that happened under his watch where Americans died overseas and veterans have died here at home.”.............................
