The Fast And Furious Scandal Is Turning Into President Obama's Watergate

It's worse. Nobody got killed during Watergate.

Exactly. Its B and E vs murder. This should be called the murdergate scandal.

Like Watergate, actions that matter won’t happen until after the kenyan is re-elected. Chasing that spurious Executive Privilege call through the court will delay things for a year. If the Republican statist wins it will all be forgotten immediately and some of the perps will lose their government jobs, but only some.The romney will retain as much of the kenyan hires as he can except those positions he has to promise to supporters before the election. That does not stem from my anti romney animosities though those certainly exist. That has been Republican practice from wa-a-a-ay back. Even Reagan retained far too much of the Carter bureaucracy. That results in a lone Republican president whose implacable opposition is his own bureaucracy, especially the State Department. Democrats understand these things better and clean house in the bureaucracy and especially in the Military.

It’s much worse for Obama than just a cover up for Holder. The Obama administration held a press conference in April of ‘09, led by Gibbs that announced the creation of a program to end the assault weapons from passing across the border. Napolitano spoke at length about the new program and Obama’s part in it. She said that the new program would be called, Gun Runner and that it would be directed by the Justice Dept, but would include Homeland Security and the ATF.

Fast and Furious was but one part of the Operation Gun Runner. There were two other locations under different names, one in Texas, and one in Florida.

Operation Gun Runner grew out of Obama’s promise to Calderon to get rid of assault weapons. Obama was in on the creation of this plot. It’s his own crime that he is covering up, not just Holder’s.

Just don't let the Dems whine about 'nothing getting done' or 'wasting the taxpayer's money' or 'election year stunt'. The Dems sure didn't worry about such things during Watergate, and it was a tough economic time then, too (Nixon imposed wage and price controls to try to rein in inflation).

The problem is, the Dems had the "news" media on their side, as they do now. Just as NBC has blacked out coverage of F&F, I'm sure the alphabet networks (or the Talking Points distribution syndicate.... whatever) will not provide a media circus of daily televised Congressional meetings where they trot up a long line of White House officials to grill them in front of the cameras. It would be Dems testifying before Repubs, after all.

Stick with it, don't back down, and screw the "news" media. We now have the internet - use it.
