David Plouffe responded on Sunday to statements House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) made on CNN’s "State of the Union," where he called White House spokesman Jay Carney a "paid liar."
Plouffe seemed upset, tweeting:
Strong words from Mr Grand Theft Auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler. And loose ethically today.thehill.com/video/house/30…

This is not the first time President Barack Obama’s former senior adviser has voiced his frustrations on Twitter. Plouffe has a history of making outrageous statements.
1. He excused the IRS’s behavior, because GOP groups "flourished last 2 elections."
What IRS did dumb and wrong. Impt to note GOP groups flourished last 2 elections, overwhelming Ds. And they will use this to raise more $.

2. When he called out and complained about Karl Rove, Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers … "SS Minnow crew more effective."
@davidaxelrod The Rove tugboat is on the way to save the day! First mates Adelson and Koch. SS Minnow crew more effective.

3. When he preemptively called on "skeet birthers" to dispute a photo of the president shooting a gun at Camp David

Day made. The skeet birthers are out in full force in response to POTUS pic. Makes for most excellent, delusional reading. #whereistrump

4. When he encouraged Americans to vote… Why? Because "you do little else."
Just vote. You do little else. Is letting the country know where you stand too much to ask?

5. When he whined about veteran journalist Bob Woodward, after Woodward criticized the president for his role in the sequester.
Watching Woodward last 2 days is like imagining my idol Mike Schmidt facing live pitching again. Perfection gained once is rarely repeated.
