In reply to the discussion: Darrell Issa has SERIOUSLY pissed off the wrong black people [View all]sheshe2
(97,719 posts)1. Soooo, The Heritage Foundation has become the "Speaker" of the House?
In light of the white hot media spotlight on the administration, and to deflect attention from the many policy areas where Republicans dont quite get along, the letter urges: it is incumbent upon the House of Representatives to conduct oversight hearings on those actions, but it would be imprudent to do anything that shifts the focus from the Obama administration to the ideological differences within the House Republican Conference.
To that end, we urge you to avoid bringing any legislation to the House Floor that could expose or highlight major schisms within the conference. Legislation such as the Internet sales tax or the FARRM Act which contains nearly $800 billion in food stamp spending, would give the press a reason to shift their attention away from the failures of the Obama administration to write another circular firing squad article.
The letter is signed by Heritage Actions Chief Executive Officer, Michael A. Needham.

Well, it's supposed to be a public hearing so hopefully there won't be a need to "leak" anything

Haha! I just noticed how Obama is helping the Marine by taking some weight off his arm there.

Darrell Issa is an Eastern Orthodox "Christian", and Lebanon is religiously mixed.
