Obama does not say he did not order.... Keep pushing this!

[Missouri gal]

Suuuure he didn't. It just happened because of a misunderstanding, riiiiight? impeach them, charge them all.

[Typical_Whitey]

WHAT? and where was the media follow up like this....

Well Mr. President are you saying that intricate international operations, like project gunwalker are being conducted in your administration without any oversight or knowledge by the lead departments that should oversee such programs? Isn’t that a dereliction of your duty as President of the US? What other ill conceived and potentially lethal programs are being conducted without your or the AG’s approval or knowledge?

Mr. President ignorance cannot be your excuse or is it?

Obama knows that he is unable to get severe gun control laws through the congress or past the American people. His plan was to show that numerous guns were being smuggled to Mexico and to plead, based on that fact, that stricter gun control laws were necessary. Problem for him is, HE'S the one who was running the guns and now he's been CAUGHT. Boo-hoo, Bambi!!

Memo
From: ATF Acting Director Melson
To: AG Eric Holder, POTUS Obama
Subj: Cover-up

IT'S THE COVER-UP, STUPD!!!

[Spunky]

"Obama does not say he did not order"

I am not defending the (you know what) and maybe my ears deceived me but I swear after he said Holder or the ATF leader did not order the guns walking he then said; "Nor would I." with a big grin.

Isn't there some obscure "rogue" Major or Lt Colonel in the W.H. basement who can be blamed?

[Bluesmover]

So, by implication of these statements, the ATF is a rogue agency in this disastrous scandal, with many people shot and/or killed as a direct result of it... and NOBODY at the helm of the administration knew about it? That isn’t much better than the theory that they WANTED American-bought guns to be found at Mexican crime scenes so that they could use the CRISIS to demand more gun control? Maybe that IS it, hmmm?
