A liar doing what he does best - lying.
It happened, Obummer, because you and “your” AG ordered it to happen. Thinking that you could use it to prove that American guns are falling into the hands of drug runners and cartels. And then you could use that to impose more gun control on the law abiding American citizens. You cooked it all up to get your way and it has come back to bite you on the ass.
It's not even that he ordered it. It's that he let it happen, all the while 0 was blaming gun dealers for supplying Mexican drug lords.
“My Attorney General” as opposed to The Attorney General. Well, at least he claimed ownership.
“The president has said neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder approved the operation known as “Fast and Furious.””

Based on the veracity and credibility of these two established lying thugs, would you bet your life on it?
We need someone with courage at the DOJ to come forward with the truth. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Mrs. Prince of Space
So in order to get cooperation from ATF, the Republicans had to appoint certain folks to the justice department? Am I getting this right???? What in the name of all that is holy are the Republicans doing???? WTF, McConnell!!!!
“The president has said neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder approved the operation known as “Fast and Furious.”
Complete and utter bull crap! You both knew! This was one of the things you meant by your gun control “under the radar” comment made to the Brady people.
What did 0bama know and when did he know it?
“No matter what, the buck stops, er ... other there ... umm ... somewhere.
“I’ve made very clear my views that that would not be an appropriate step by the ATF, and we’ve got to find out how that happened.”
So I guess that means Obama will order the ATF and the Justice Department to stop stonewalling Issa and deliver all the documents that the investigating committee requires, right?
We need a special investigator to look inot the Obama Administration’s inivolvement in this deal and their retaliation against a government employee who was the whistleblower.
THIS should be Obama’s Watergate.
This is good.
Melson’s already said that he was acting on authorization.
Obama just said he and Holder did not authorize.
Someone must be lying. Hope Issa holds them to the fire.
The followup question that wasn't asked... "When will you order your AG to stop obstructing the investigation?"
This week, the Senate confirmed three Obama-nominated Justice Department officials in a deal that will give Congressional investigators access to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms documents that have been withheld for months. The bigger part of the deal, however, is that ATF Acting Director Kenneth Melson will provide a "transcribed interview" to Republican and Democratic investigators in mid-July
This is big. The pubbies have shown some real BALLS and forced the Regime to give up concealed documents and to have Melson give them an interview by refusing to confirm DOJ appointments absent such disclosures. This is just what the DemonRATS did during Watergatge ane Iran/Contra.
*Anything I say, can and will be used against me.
Well of COURSE!! Neither Hussein nor Holder knew a THING about it!!! Standard procedure for some Regime underling to run guns to Mexico and get a bunch of people killed without having gotten the scheme approved AT THE TOP!!!! Uh huh! Yep! Probably the janitor at ATF headquarters who thought it all up!!!
This creep needs to follow the governors of Illinois....into prison!
