Under fire for an operation that allowed smuggling of U.S. weapons across the nation’s border with Mexico, President Obama said in an interview that neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the controversial “Operation Fast and Furious.”
The Mexican government has complained that it didn’t know about the U.S. operation that allowed guns to illegally cross the southwestern border so they could track the weapons.
Obama told Univision‘s Jorge Ramos that President Felipe Calderon wasn’t informed of the operation because he — the president of the United States — wasn’t informed either. When asked whether he knew of the weapon smuggling plan, Obama responded that it is “a pretty big government” with “a lot of moving parts.” (reported by My San Antonio)

President Obama said ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms enforcement) was behind "Operation Fast and Furious."

LOL
I can’t wait until this bozo is found out.
I wonder if there are any petitions out there for this issue to get it investigated.
Pile this stuff up now while he’s busy trying to organise his wagging the dog project
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He is one lying POS. But I repeat myself...
Let me see...Not authorizing and not knowing about the gun running are different matters all together.
Of course the media accepted that response when it came from Reagan, right?
And right now, Obama-lama-ding-dong and Holder are furiously deleting emails and destroying memo’s.
Way to just read the first paragraph. Later in the story:
Obama told Univision‘s Jorge Ramos that President Felipe Calderon wasn’t informed of the operation because he — the president of the United States — wasn’t informed either.
There’s no way this was a coincidence that this was happening right when Obama and Clinton were talking about U.S. guns being shipped to Mexico - all in preparation of a gun ban. No way possible.
This goes right to the top - a sitting president committing treason in order to repudiate the 2nd Amendment. This is going to make Watergate look like a walk in the park - especially when there’s blood on their hands.
I wonder who Obama-lama-ding-dong’s LtCol Ollie North is going to be?
He’s trying to be more like Reagan every day! At least Reagan finally admitted it.
Yep.
Obama has given us two governments one you see and one you don’t see.
The ole Sgt. Schultz excuse: I know nothing.
Exactly! Just like Obama/Soetoro himself; one you see, one you don't see. Amazingly, neither has a documented past!
Amazing, we have to rely on Univision to ask Obama hard questions and even then only when Obama’s actions negatively impact Mexico.
