President Barack Obama has asserted executive privilege in response to requests.

I wonder what happened to transparency? If I had nothing to hide then give them what they request and move on.


Maybe Bush ate the documents.

Before everyone thought Holder was the Fast and Furious "buck stops here" guy who made the F&F decision but now with Obama jumping into the mix everyone thinks he's the one who ordered it. I think he made a big mistake...unless he was actually the one who ordered it.

You know, there are people who just learned of Fast and Furious this week. NBC didn't mention it until this week and then their reporter has to explain it to their viewers to get them up to speed. This is what bias is all about.

"Attorney General Eric Holder has been hauled before Congress to testify about the program no less than nine times. And this is the first time [Brian] Williams and company have mentioned it."

NBC Discovers Fast and Furious - By Ian Tuttle - Media Blog - National Review Online

See what Candidate Obama had to say about Executive Privilege in 2007:

This gives Romney another TV ad.

Most phony issues are transparent.

You don't get it. It's wrong to focus on things like Fast and Furious. It's a distraction. Now,things like personally calling Sandra Fluke,saying if you had a son he'd be Travon Martin,giving de facto amnesty,and coming out for same sex marriage,those aren't distractions.

The killing is being investigated by the appropriate agencies in US and Mex. I don't think the NRA is the appropriate agency.

Transparency only applies to national security issues, apparently.

Lefties are shrieking to the heavens that Trayvon must have justice. But a Border Patrol agent being killed is phony.

"The killing" is not the issue. The issue is the order to sell guns that would end up with criminals and drug dealers, with a fake excuse of "tracking them", then losing track of them. The issue is the fact that Holder lied to congress at least twice (that he fessed up to).
