Darrell Issa backed off his previous claim, made with Rush Limbaugh, that Obama is "one of the most corrupt Presidents in modern times."

"When you hand out $1 trillion in TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) just before this president came in, most of it unspent, $1 trillion nearly in stimulus, that this president asked for, plus this huge expansion in health care and government, it has a corrupting effect," Issa said on CNN's "State of the Union."
