Mind boggling why Holder is not in jail.

What did the President know and when did he know it?

The fact that Wide Receiver was operated in concert with the Mexican government, while “Fast and Furious” was never mentioned to them, tells you all you need to know.

But that’s Obama for you. The dead people are “just Mexicans” or “just a Border Patrol agent,” and they’re insignificant in his quest for power.

One thing people don’t take into consideration is that Obama really despises Hispanics in general and Mexicans in particular, and this provides graphic evidence of it. Also, I was talking with some Mexicans a few days ago, and they told me that they thought that Obama hated Mexico and that he didn’t care how many Mexicans were killed or how he had violated Mexican sovereignty (another issue nobody has brought up yet).

The entirety of the “Blame Bush” meme, which began during the 2008 campaign, has been a lie. On the economy, the dims were at the wheel when the crash occurred. Yet, Bush has born the blame, thanks in large measure to the Lame Stream Media. On the WOT, the dims did everything possible to thwart victory throughout Bush’s tenure, yet, again, Bush has received blame. Now Bush is being blamed for “Fast&Furious”. The dims DO NOT have anything to offer this country EXCEPT for finger pointing.

It seems like the wheels are starting to come off the bus even the LAME STREET MEDIA can’t ignore everything happening this week.

Explosion of information is getting out and the administration can’t answer the questions.

Exactly, and as I have said so many times, there was nothing wrong with the economy when the Republicans were in charge. Unemployment was practically nonexistent and the economy was thriving. Things changed when the commicrats took over in January 2007. Unemployment began to rise and by December 2007 the recession began.

The only one that arrogant pos can blame is himself as he was part of of the Senate and the rats in the House and Senate

Actually, the “blame bush” meme, even if it had any shred of truth, would work AGAINST the claims of a partisan witch hunt.

The problem with Fast&Furious is with the program, not with who started it. The issue is that the current administration, which as Obama explained is the only administration currently in office, isn’t providing information.

These facts are true whether Bush started the program or not. They are true even if Obama is just continuing a Bush program. It’s not like Bush can come back and release the documents.

Holder and the Hilldabeast's fingerprints are all over an identical operation between Tampa and Honduras

does it add up?:

Honduras? Why would ATF walk guns to Honduras?

and this........

Obama Admin Lobbying Honduras To Allow Zelaya Back In? Are You Kidding?

What could possibly be the motive behind this lunacy?

On the last day of December last year, Manuel “Mel” Zelaya, the deposed Honduran president and self-described victim of high-frequency radiation attacks by Israeli mercenaries, vowed to the press that he would return to Honduras. Few outside of Honduras have paid much attention to Zelaya’s MacArthur-esque prediction, but it has become apparent there is more behind his declaration than his usual hyperbole and bombastic absurdities.

Behind the scenes in the Obama administration there appears to be a concerted effort to pressure the democratically elected government of President Porfirio Lobo to dismiss charges of misappropriation of government funds and falsifying documents that are pending against Zelaya. This would open the door for his return to the country, and would be certain to undermine the delicate process of reestablishing democracy and order that is currently taking place in this poor and beleaguered nation.

When Zelaya was removed from office in July of 2009, the Obama administration at first joined with leftist dictators Fidel Castro of Cuba, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua in calling for his reinstatement. The Obama White House seemed oblivious to the Honduran constitution, as well as the threat Zelaya posed to the stability of the country and the region. When the courageous Honduran people held firm to their democratic constitution and refused to yield to the pressure exerted by the U.S., the Obama administration found no way of saving face other than reversing course and backing the democratic presidential elections called for by their constitution.

The Honduran Connection 7.7.11 Now we know why Hillary Clinton and Obama were falling all over themselves to support and prop-up the Honduran Marxist dictator-wannabe, Manuel Zelaya back in 2009. I never could figure out why they would create such blatantly unflattering, pro-Marxist optics for the Obama regime for a small country like Honduras. Now it all makes perfect sense. Zelaya attempted to overthrow the Honduran constitution and install himself as dictator for life, a la Hugo Chavez. The Honduran Congress AND Supreme Court followed their Constitutional Rule of Law to the letter and removed Zelaya. Within hours Obama and Clinton were threatening Honduras and demanding that the Marxist dictator Zelaya be re-installed. Now we know why. Obama and Clinton were arming Zelaya and were coordinating with Zelaya to run arms through Honduras. Presumably the deal was that some of the arms would stay with Zelaya and most would move into Mexico from the South. Then, Obama and Clinton could "find" U.S. guns in Southern Mexico and Central America, and thus use these optics to bolster their false contention that "90%" of Mexican guns were sourced directly from the U.S. "See? U.S. guns are all the way down in Chiapas State and Guatemala. U.S. guns are everywhere! The Second Amendment simply is not feasible any longer!"

The President is withholding memos that prove ‘gunwalker’ came from the top down, because Obama already said he knew ‘nothing’ about it, and releasing the real proof would make him look like a liar.

This issue has become not ‘what he knew’ , but what he can ‘keep you from proving’.

A planet full of third world dictatorships with two classes. The HAVES and the HAVE NOTS. The HAVE NOTS will slave for the glory of the HAVES.

There will be no 'foreign partisans', no 'foreign allies' to help us.

It is not an issue anymore of 'keeping' our nation. That ship sailed already.

The issue is can we get it back.

They wanted to undo everything Bush did- Iran war, Guantanamo prisoners, tax cuts for rich, etc. But in this case they wanted to expand a Bush a program?

Only liberals with a complicit media can get away with such crap.

Oh.... quoting facts and sourcing actual documents. How rude of you.

Didn’t you hear the DEMS at the HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HEARING?

“wah,wah,wah, Republicans, and the Tea Party, and Conservatives, and (stupid) ‘AMERICANS’ are just being meanies and picking on Holder and Obama because they are black [which neither one are] and besides, Bush did it.”

If a person in DC were killed by a mugger today, Eleanor Holmes Norton would say that muggings happened under Bush, too

So is “botched sting operation.” There never was an attempt to track the weapons in Fast and Furious.

Their only other option would be the truth, and we know why they can't 'offer' that.

They walk lies just as blatantly as they walked guns. They can walk the lies back all they want.
It won’t bring back Jaime Zapata and Brian Terry.
