Darrell Issa claims Barack Obama is using taxpayer money for propaganda

  Darrell Issa has released a 37 page report in which he claims that Barack Obama may be violating federal laws by using taxpayer funds to pay for what amounts to a propaganda effort. He is now calling for the Government Accountability Office to investigate whether or not taxpayer funds were used for political purposes.

Specifically, the report points to websites it claims contain false or misleading information, such as Recovery.gov and HealthReform.gov, as well as to a conference call during which a White House staff member urged artists and entertainers to support President Obama’s agenda.

  According to Darrel Issa, the White House has been using Recovery.gov and HealthReform.gov not to “serve as a tool for strong oversight and transparency” but instead:

Recovery.gov became a taxpayer-funded tool to promote false and misleading propaganda to support the Democrat-backed stimulus,” the report states. “The manifest inaccuracies in the data the White House used to justify its economic policies constitutes the dissemination of false propaganda by the federal government

  He goes on to list examples of inaccuracies in the reporting of jobs saved/created and how the website suddenly changes its wording when confronted on those inaccuracies. 

  But he doesn’t stop there:

This new report and a GAO investigation are needed to help shed light on how taxpayer dollars are being spent to illegally further a political agenda

  These are serious charges and one cannot help but think that Darrell Issa would not throw them out there without some proof. If the Obama regime has done nothing wrong they should welcome an investigation as a chance to exonerate themselves.

  There is the very real possibility that Barack Obama has broken federal law by using taxpayer money to push forward his political agenda and we deserve to know the truth. Darrell Issa has been a staunch opponent and critic of the president, but that does not mean that these charges are without merit. There is only one way to find out the truth, and that is to begin an investigation into this issue. If Barack Obama has been using taxpayer money to promote his agenda we need to know about it. I just find it too hard to believe that Darrell Issa would throw these charges out there without the proof to back it up.
