Issa blasted Kashkari, now backs him
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., just robo-called me backing Neel Kashkari for governor as, “The only candidate with proven leadership in this time of crisis.”
He only could mean Kashkari leading the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program during the 2008-09 finanical crisis, when Kashkari voted for Barack Obama for president that November. Critics charged TARP robbed Main Street to bail out Wall Street.
But during the 2008-09 financial crisis, Issa opposed TARP. On Oct. 3, 2014, he voted Nay on HR 1414, officially called the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

As I mentioned in a previous post, the GOP Establishment is backing Kashkari. Issa used to be something of a maverick. Maybe now not so much.
