Nearly forty years later, another “scandal,” exponentially larger than Watergate, has the potential to bring down the occupant of the oval office along with other high ranking officials. While no one was murdered as a result of Watergate, two law enforcement officers are dead because of the current “scandal” that is leading closer and closer to the highest levels of the Obama administration, including the Department of Justice and the U.S. State Department. Obama’s “war on guns”
After taking office, Barack Hussein Obama began a coordinated effort with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to control the purchases and ownership of guns in the United States. To justify the implementation of tougher gun control laws and in a direct assault on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, this administration cited a statement made to Congress by William Hoover, Assistant Director for Field Operations for the BATFE on February 7, 2008. According to that report, 90 percent of the weapons used by the Mexican drug cartels were purchased from or originated from the U.S.
That stunning revelation empowered the Obama administration to solicit public support for banning so-called assault weapons in the U.S., and calling for tougher gun control laws. The problem, however, is that the 2008 statement is disingenuous at best.
First and perhaps most transparent, it has been noted that only 1 in 5 guns that have been recovered in Mexico actually underwent any form of tracing, leaving 80% untraced. Accordingly, the 90 percent figure is already factually inaccurate.

This is just one of Obamas under the radar gun control PR schemes. Impeach that Sucker.
“A pretty good summation of gunrunner, gunwalker, fast and furious, and castaway.”
Let’s face it, king hussein is untouchable no matter what he does or who dies.
It is a great summation, however, Fast & Furious is turning out to be like an onion, with multiple layers inside each other.
Clinton’s crimes were worse than Watergate. He was impeached, but never truly held accountable.
The end result will be the same with this “gunwalker” crime, because the corrupt government will not hold itself accountable.
The nationwide racial backlash of Obama/Holder getting convicted and punished would make the Rodney King LA riots look tame in comparison.
“The nationwide racial backlash of Obama/Holder getting convicted and punished would make the Rodney King LA riots look tame in comparison.”
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would make sure that happened.
Let's see - NYC, DC, LA,[hopefully including Beverly Hills], Cleveland, Chicago, Detriot, I mean Detroit, all smoking ruins, to name but a few. And that possibility is supposed to bar the trial, conviction and sentencing of the racist thug Holder and any other officials of the regime he chooses to bring down with him? I don't think so. And, in the event, let all these liberal petri dishes defend themselves. Not one member of the US military should be called out. After all, for the Frances Fox Piven Acorn Take It to the Streets types, rioting is politics, not violence, and all politics are local, dontcha know.
That idea doesn’t bother me because they support the destruction of our Country. In fact, it may be the only chance our Republic has to survive because we cannot continue on this “racist” course.
I was thinking about that statement this week and couldn’t remember who said it. I remembered someone commenting (including the Mexican President) that the guns used by drug cartels were from the US.
And wala we start arming them?
Yeah, don’t expect impeachment of the first black Prez. It will never happen.
But NOT if they think that Barry is a liability that will cause them to lose in 2012. Hello Hillary!
If the rioters in Watts (August 1965) had been properly put down, we wouldn't be worrying about riots today.
By September, Gunwalker will be a distant foggy memory. No one expects these crooks to prosecute themselves, do they? The plan was: Provide criminals on the south side of the border with guns and when crime flowed north back over the border the feds would step in as savior and implement new gun laws to save us all. Unfortunately their plan was exposed. Also unfortunately, they don’t care...proceed according to plan, as if nothing happened, full steam ahead. The media will run cover, the heat will die down and new gun laws and regulations will be imposed on the American people. Just yesterday the Feds announced new reporting guidelines for the sales of certain semi automatic gun sale. The plan goes forward. GUNWALKER NEVER HAPPENED!

How many Watergates is one president allowed to have?

And yet it is nearly the only thing that, IMO, would restore the faith in our “justice” system [fairly] quickly.
