BREAKING NEWS on Fast and Furious: Obama knew in May 2010?

To date Barack Obama, the dispenser of hope and change and the presiding officer over the least transparent presidency in history, has claimed he only learned about Fast and Furious earlier this year. However, with each new document dump Obamas timeframe seems to be as inaccurate (or as purposely misleading) as Attorney General Eric Holders. For example, just months after he took office it was evident he was focused on a Fast and Furious-like operation, ostensibly aimed at cutting down on gun trafficking on the southern border. Thus, on March 24, 2009, Deputy Attorney General David Ogden made the following announcement:
The President has directed us to take action to fight [Mexican] cartels
and Attorney General Holder and I are taking several new and aggressive steps as part of the administrations comprehensive plan.
And the following month, April 2009, he stood beside Mexican President Felipe Calderón and uttered words we now recognize as hypocritical and duplicitous at best:
I continue to believe that we can respect and honor the Second Amendment right in our Constitution the rights of sportsmen and hunters and homeowners that want to keep their families safe to lawfully bear arms, while dealing with assault weapons that, as we know here in Mexico, are used to fuel violence.
Fast forward one year, and White House logs show that then-Deputy Attorney General Gary Grindler met personally with Obama four times between May 7 and May 19, 2010.

Exactly! Nobody was killed in the Watergate break-in. If anyone can make a campaign issue out of this and “take it to” Obama, Newt Gingrich can.

I can't imagine that dealing weapons to drug cartels in a bordering nation is not an impeachable offense. He sent former Lt Col Terry Lakin to Leavenworth for questioning is natural born citizenship. It's time for those chickens his "pastor" speaks of to come home to roost. Obama has earned a stay in a federal prison.

The MSM will never pursue this story, even if documents show that Zero was running guns and shooting border patrol agents himself.
And the House doesn't have the stomach for impeachment proceedings.

We have a criminal regime in the White House. Nixon was nothing compared to this criminal organization.

What do people think Obama meant when he said he was addressing gun control “under the radar”.....????

I know I'm not the only one who knows it will take more spilling of Americans blood to regain the structure of government our Founders left for us. The criminals in DC know that as well thus they developed the Fast & Furious program as the ploy for them to write news laws to initiate the legal confiscation of fire arms. From the revolutionary war and every war this country has been engaged in for the purpose of defending our liberty and way of life has been a waste of American lives. Too sad but it's painfully clear the real enemies of this nation now resides in DC.

FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

“That is one of the reasons he is closing the files..”
Yep. (Too bad that only a handful of Repubs in Congress seem to care about the fact that border agents lost their lives because of this, though).

So if Obama commits suicide, will we still have to have our TV schedule screwed up with the horseless carriage thing?
Or, can we simply call it Apple Pie Day and throw another log on the fire? ;>)
Obama lied, people died and then he tried to hide.

“Family of U.S. agent slain in Mexico demands to know gun source” (7/17/2011)
Family of U.S. agent slain in Mexico demands to know gun source
The lawyer for Jaime Zapata’s family says U.S. officials refuse to answer questions about whether the weapons used were linked to the Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation...
“What happened with Jaime needs to come out,” the family’s lawyer, Raymond L. Thomas of McAllen, Texas, said in a telephone interview Sunday. “And the likelihood that these were Fast and Furious guns is certainly plausible...”
