Issa: Obama 'continues to deny accountability'

Rep. Darrell Issa said Monday that he isn’t surprised President Obama deflected blame for the administration’s apparent missteps by attacking him after he spent years aggressively investigating “serious scandals” like the Benghazi tragedy.

“I’m disappointed but not surprised that the president, in a political speech, continues to deny accountability for the serious scandals that happened under his watch where Americans died overseas and veterans have died here at home,” the former House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman said in a statement after Obama accused him of exhibiting “shameless” behavior.
