I said from the very start of Obama’s term that the Democrats had found their Nixon. Since he wouldn’t even turn over his BC I knew that he would be up to no good. Any wrongdoing in F&F probably only scratches the surface.

Beyond the fact that this is wildly incriminating and very interesting, the thought crossed my mind.

Is this it?

Is this at long last the straw that will convince the people who say Romney and Obama are exactly the same to realize that, well, no, they are not.

The current Woodward and Bernstein - the bloggers who broke this story - have one of the team in the hospital right now. Can’t wait to see what he has to say.

No kidding. I came to that conclusion when he issued the order to give the illegal kids work permits.

The thought of Joe Biden as President does not sound promising. I can just see the people wanting to give him a shot at President from 2012 to 2016 because he didn’t have long as President. I think just vote Obama out in November and be done with him. Sure letting him slide won’t be fun but the alternative could be worse for the Republicans. Remember when Nixon was impeached and kicked out of office, the Republicans went on to win another election right away. Could easily happen with the Democrats especially in today’s World.

Suggestions being made that OBAMA knew about it.

HA, here we go, Rep Dan Burton: what did he know and when did he know it? how high up did it go, did it go as far up as the AG or even to Prez?

Care to place a wager on that? I could use the money.

I want a piece of that also. No-stones-GOP will do nothing other than vote on Contempt. IMPEACHMENT never ever.

I’m an optimist in most things. When it comes to government, I am a First Order Pessimist. History shows that this government doing the “right thing” is the exception and not the rule.

Burton wants to know how high up this goes - and brings up that asserting this privilege indicates a problem.

IMHO, we have been in a Constitutional crisis since day one of this bastard's reign. He is truly an enemy of the Republic and the Constituion.

I hope and pray Agent Terry’s family screams from the highest mountain and keeps screaming. They lost a son due to this Fast and Furious debacle. It’s time they turn around and go public and make their own feelings known. Yes, Obamagate is a good title as someone mentioned in another post. OBAMAGATE!!!!

The GOP impeached Clinton for perjury. They didn’t impeach him for oral sex.

The fact that many people think otherwise is due to an act of media.

On liberal beliefs they are 100 percent the same. We have no idea what Romney would do in this situation. He might have done the same thing. Stop cheerleading your Romney crush....It is disgusting. Romney is horrible and everyone knows this but you.

You make some good points.

Hillary Clinton has done a good job of distancing herself from Obama these past three years.

The biggest risk the DEMs face from shifting abruptly from Obama to Clinton is the loss of the black vote...which might explain why Obama has been spending a lot of money on political ads aimed at black voters.

Maybe it’s because the media is already covering this as a “program that began under Bush”

yep....it’s Bush’s fault!!!!
