GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney applauded House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley for their efforts to investigate the Obama Justice Department’s lethal Operation Fast and Furious scandal today during a speech at the NRA Annual Meeting Leadership Forum in St. Louis. This is the first time any GOP presidential candidate has mentioned the Fast and Furious scandal by name in a public event speech, officially bringing the scandal into the 2012 general election with President Barack Obama. Romney also embraced the NRA’s calls for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign or be fired for his role in Fast and Furious.
"I applaud Congressman Issa and Senator Grassley for their work in exposing the “Fast and Furious” scandal. And I applaud NRA leadership for being among the first and most vocal in calling upon Attorney General Holder to resign," Romney said.
To give readers some context, out of more than 21 debates during the 2012 GOP presidential primary, Fast and Furious was mentioned once.
Update: GOP Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich also mentioned Fast and Furious in his remarks, saying we must "get to the bottom of Operation Fast and Furious."
Tap tap tap.... Is my clock broken?
We need to light a real fire under Issa to get more hearings going.
Not broken, completely expected from a man who is used to pandering to whichever crowd he’s speaking to.
Does Romney have anything to say about the eligibility issue?
Crickets chirping.
So....who spoke first at the NRA convention, Mittens or Newt? If Romney actually brought up F & F without prompting, good for him! But if Newt spoke first and talked about it, then Mitt was just jumping in with a “me, too” moment and it will go no further with him.
The really big test as to how serious the GOP is over the issue will be if they actually start running ads about it and/or start bringing it up on the Sunday talk shows, especially in light of the questions regarding Eric Holder’s handling of the Martin case. The Zimmerman family wants to know why the DOJ isn’t investigating the New Black Panthers for hate crimes and I think a lot of Americans would like an answer as well. Holder is the most corrupt AG we have ever had (and that’s saying ALOT after Janet Reno!) so why is Bambi continuing to protect him?
Flop horse can clap? I'm impressed with his presidential abilities already!
Good on him.
The more light that can be shed on F and F and awareness raised with the American public, the better.
Eric Holder and Fast and Furious

Holder needs to be impeached. He is an anti-American who is trampling the constitution he swoer to uphold.
I need help, I am looking for someone who has lost a family member due to Fast and Furious or to the Mexican Drug Wars, in general.
Yes, Floyd Brown and I are trying to produce an attack ad!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Let Freedom Ring,
Is this a harbinger of what is to come? Mitt will not surrender and do a traveling concession speech? Here’s hoping!
McCain was very bold with the Sarah Palin appointment and then became deferential to the “history” made by the election of the first hard left radical president. I can never take pleasure or give myself credit in the victory of evil.
We need to get Holder, napolitano , and obama under the hot lamp for fast n furious.
The fact that we still dont have answers on this is criminal!
B U M P
“So....who spoke first at the NRA convention, Mittens or Newt?”
Mitt spoke first, then Newt, then Santorum.
This horrific scandal should have already brought this administration down.
Maybe it eventually will.....
I am ‘not’ a Romney fan but today he showed some promise!!!

Obama Needs to be “Removed” from our WH before the elections.
He committed TREASON against the United States of America by using “FORGED” Documents to become POTUS.

“George Soros” will be in-control of “Counting” our Electronic Votes!!

Scytl is a global company which actually Counts the electronic votes….. “George Soros” owns this Company (or he owns a good portion of this company)
Obama ensures his fraudulent re-election….
a Soros-owned Spanish company will count the ballots !
Here’s another of those quiet, subtle, but very dangerous little stories that has somehow slipped past all the mainstream media outlets.
The United States of America has a brand new private “VOTE COUNTING” company that the Obama administration has personally handpicked.
Scytl is the name of the Spanish Company owned by “George Soros”!!
