President Obama Falsely Claims Fast and Furious Program “Begun Under the Previous Administration”
ABC News ^ | 9/21/2012 | Jake Tapper (believe it or not)

Asked about the Fast and Furious program at the Univision forum on Thursday, President Obama falsely claimed that the program began under President George W. Bush.

“I think it’s important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration,” the president said. “When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it. We assigned a inspector general to do a thorough report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did initiate this were held accountable.”

In actuality, the Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency.

Since Obama claimed he had no idea the program existed, how can he say anything about when it began?

As I tell my kids, “Each lie is no more believable than the previous one, so don’t even bother. Just stare blankly into space.”
