FULL TITLE: Flashback: Obama Blames US Guns For Mexican Violence, Then Starts Running Guns to Mexico 5 Months Later

In April 2009 Barack Obama traveled to Mexico and blamed US gun sellers for “This war is being waged with guns purchased not here but in the United States...more than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that lay in our shared border. So we have responsibilities as well.”

Just to be sure, a few months later the Obama Administration started running their own guns to Mexico.

Also today..Mexican Attorney General told reporters that Obama is more involved with Operation Fast and Furious than he is admitting. The Cypress Times reported:

He found out that his statements could be proven to be wrong, so he set about to change reality so that he would be right.

The Impostor Obama pushed not JUST guns
but also grenades.


Was the provenance of THIS one of AG Holder's DOJ/DNC/Obama-supplied grenades?

Besides being a criminal operation that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican and American citizens, Fast and Furious was a political crime far, far exceeding Watergate.

Watergate simply tried to eavesdrop on political opponents.
Fast & Furious tried to stage crimes to advance political agendas.

He knows all about Fast and Furious. I am not so sure he didn’t discuss this with the pres of Mexico with his blessings.

Someone needs to put a youtube ad together with 0bama stating these things, stating “we’re working on gun control under the radar” to Sarah Brady, then detailing “fast and furious”.

Seems to me if this grenade came from F&F that this woman would have one hell of a lawsuit against the USA. Well, so would a lot of other Mexicans affected by this.

Barry invents a problem and then insures it continues. W.C. Fields used a similar tack:

"I always keep a supply of stimulants handy in case I see a snake...which I also keep handy."

Don't forget his statement to his commie buddies about working on gun control “behind the scenes”.....talk about a damning statement if there ever was.

What are the chances this does not go all the way up to the Oval Office? I think this just may be the ticket for Holder and Barry to go straight to Leavenworth prison where they both belong.

No.

F&F was predicated on standard straw purchase from legal civilian dealers. Grenades would be nigh unto impossible with lots of very deliberate & unusual paperwork, adding $200 to the cost of each one sold.

Yes it is technically/legally/logistically possible to make that scenario happen, but falls into the “ain’t happenin’” category. Would take a special level of genius sociopath to take F&F there.

The grenades sent to Mexico were inert grenade hulls, which are fairly readily obtainable as "souvenirs" or "paperweights." However, they can be filled with explosives, although the arming mechanisms are not that readily available. In any case, exporting even the inert hulls is illegal.
