I don't necessarily agree that number two is Issa's goal (though Issa is a Number Two of the most malodorous sort).
Issa's goal is to acquire POWER and notice. He wants to be a big player--not just a House player. That's why he sobbed so mightily when Ahhhnuld took "his" governorship--that HE bought and paid for--away. In order to be a player, he needs a windmill to tilt against. If he got rid of Obama, plenty others would take all credit, just like they took all his money in the Davis recall, and he'd be recognized as nothing more than a foot soldier.
The best way to acquire power and notice? Have an enemy. Issa, if he wants to be regarded as an anti-Obama crusader, NEEDS Obama in order to make that work.
It's all about Issa. The guy is a criminal. He has a criminal mind. If he could get ahead by screwing Boehner's wife, he'd do it. He has no loyalty to anyone save himself and even worse, he is LAZY. That's partly why his efforts have faltered--he hasn't gotten to the point where he has learned how to stop running his big fat fake teeth mouth. He promised much when he took the gavel, and so far, he's delivered nothing of any substance at all--just one purely partisan, transparently vindictive, grandstanding committee vote.
People are noticing, and that's not good for him.
