Darrell Issa and Lamar Smith are gearing up for exciting, but definitely non-witch-hunty investigations of Obama should Republicans win back the House this fall. Politico relays us the news that they'll be looking into the following:

Bailouts, Bailouts, Bailouts. No investigation poses a more significant political danger to Obama than a no-holds-barred GOP probe into TARP, the AIG bailout, the Freddie-Fannie sinkhole and the administration’s de facto takeover of GM and Chrysler.

Yes, no investigation poses more danger for Obama than a probe of the transgressions of his predecessor. Hopefully, Darrell Issa will subpoena Hank Paulson and grill him over what, exactly, he was thinking when Senator-Dictator Obama ordered him to create TARP and bailout both AIG and Fannie-Freddie.

Now, I don't know whether the author, Glenn Thrush, is a flaming idiot or whether his GOP sources sold him this bill of goods. But oh, hey look, remember this Pew Poll?
