Rep. Issa asking for more hiring of Fed workers instead of outsourcing

[eleny]

He just told that to Obama at the Fiscal Summit.

Falling down backwards ... *plop*.

1. You from the Onion?

2. Believe you me - I did a double take at the tv screen

[tishaLA]

3. I could not believe he said that

I think they replaced him with a body double.

4. And Obama just poked fun at Cantor

(For the cube rats who aren't near a tv)

First said he would continue to reach out to the minority because he's a glutton for punishment. And then went on to say that some day he'll even get some agreement from Cantor. Obama broke up the room.

5. Seriously, pigs just flew and hell froze over.

8. ...

:rofl:

[Retrograde]

6. but the federal government doesn't create jobs!

Get with the party line, Issa - only the private sector can create jobs according to your fellows.

I don't think this is Issa having a change of heart as much as it is his forgetting what he's supposed to be for.

[eleny]

7. I'll take it!

Amazing how the coverage afterward is amazement from the press. I'm watching MSNBC.

Someone on the tv just called it a national "teach-in". Another reporter said he never saw anything like this form a president in his lifetime.

[biopowertoday]

9. Its a great idea whoever says it. the jobs are already created. he

just wants them to go to the US folks.

I hope all of us want that.

10. Being in California, I guess Issa hit a reality wall

Standing up for American workers now makes sense.

11. Grover's Gonna Get him!

More Federal employees is increasing the size of the Government, or making it too big to drown in a bathtub. Bad, bad, Issa. No spankings for you!

12. That's Almost As Surprising As Greenspan Pushing Nationalization

The Republicans are all over the map, and they criticize Obama?
