Obama's foolish use of executive privilege only brings him into the fray. Now it appears he has something to hide. So much for transparency.

Found it for you!


Holder retracts claim Bush team knew about Fast and Furious | WashingtonExaminer.com

No it got expanded under Obama.

Under Bush the weapons were traced and the Mexican army/police arrested them once they crossed the border. There was no "walking". Only 12 guns got lost.

Under Obama they expanded the program, removed the tracers and didn't arrest anyone "at the border"..hence the guns walked.

Please do your research before "blame Bush"..OK ?
And Holder retracted today that he told the Bush administration what he did. He never told them..this is not the same operation that was run under Bush.

Obama is even more incompetent than Bush. That defies common sense.

Some people get off on giving everyone the bird, solely for the reaction they can raise. Some people are real idiots. BUT, you didn't need me to point that out, you already know.

You also didn't hear that from me. And if someone brings up this post, I could try to redact it, claim plausible deniability, and then say my account was hijacked. BUT, then I'd be EXACTLY LIKE YOUR HEROES, shameless losers.

I'm gonna watch some comedy (CNBC), and then some MSNBC and blow spitwads at the socialists.

Since when has common sense been a virtue Obama holds? He proves daily that he can be the best at anything, including incompetence.

Actually no... Thats why the documents go to a committee, and not released to the public.

You need a new news source. Ask yourself, why has the liberal media been silent on this. If they hadn't, you'd know all this

Because the Bush administration doesnt have the documents. Eric Holder does..

They cant call the Bush administration to testify until they GET THE DOCUMENTS to see who did what

Nyet. This falls squarely on Obama/Holder and all "Bush's fault" schtick is ignored.

No, Holder didn't tell the Bush administration about the changes made to the program under the Obama administration. That's what he retracted. He said he did and then he said he didn't.
