Just finished watching it (in Spanish). It was pretty damning of Obama.
I was in and out for brief periods, but I never heard any of the “it started during the Bush admin” nonsense. They focussed on dates in eg 2009-2011 (Obama’s watch). They also played part of the recent interview he did with Univision, which did not go well for him. They also related the circumstances of the deaths of Jaime Zapata and Brian Terry (one of the family lawyers said he had asked for info from the US DOJ and others repeatedly, and had gotten no response (he said “one would think they are trying to hide something”
(not a direct translation))). Interesting twist at the end. The announcer did the obligatory 2nd Amendment and the US arming the enemy, but after the program one could ask if that meant the US government arming the enemy. (Of course no mention of the fact that the Mexicans have supposedly strict gun laws and also have a higher rate of murder with guns.)

Thanks for the report. Here in Panama, I was unable to watch it. However, the Univision analysis is getting some play even on the U.S. MSM. I just updated my article as follows:

UPDATE And now, some of the fit begins to hit the shan, I mean principled media. According to this piece on ABC, based on the Univision broadcast,

On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party of high school and college students in Villas de Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez. Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled.
Juarez is, of course, on the border with Texas.
Univision News identified a total of 57 more previously unreported firearms that were bought by straw purchasers monitored by ATF during Operation Fast and Furious, and then recovered in Mexico in sites related to murders, kidnappings, and at least one other massacre.
Will voters like what they are now learning about F&F? Most probably won't.

Doing the work that MSM so-called "journalists" won't do...

Jamie Zapata...first time I have seen his name in the press.
