COMPARE OBAMA AND REAGAN !!
One Year Later, Another Look at Obamanomics vs. Reaganomics
( OBAMA RECORD IS A PIECE OF SHIT...! )
February 2, 2012 by Dan Mitchell
On this day last year, I posted two charts that I developed using the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank’s interactive website.
Those two charts showed that the current recovery was very weak compared to the boom of the early 1980s.
But perhaps that was an
unfair comparison. Maybe the Reagan recovery started strong and then hit a wall. Or maybe the Obama recovery was the economic equivalent of a late bloomer.
So let’s look at the same charts, but add an extra year of data. Does it make a difference?
Meh…not so much.
Let’s start with the GDP data. The comparison is striking. Under Reagan’s policies, the economy skyrocketed. Heck, the chart prepared by the Minneapolis Fed doesn’t even go high enough to show how well the economy performed during the 1980s.
Under Obama’s policies, by contrast, we’ve just barely gotten back to where we were when the recession began. Unlike past recessions, we haven’t enjoyed a strong bounce. And this means we haven’t recovered the output that was lost during the downturn.
This is a damning indictment of Obamanomics
Indeed, I made this point several months ago when analyzing some work by Nobel laureate Robert Lucas. And it’s been highlighted more recently by James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute and the news pages of the Wall Street Journal.
Unfortunately, the jobs chart is probably even more discouraging. As you can see, employment is still far below where it started.
This is in stark contrast to the jobs boom during the Reagan years.
So what does this mean? How do we measure the human cost of the foregone growth and jobs that haven’t been created?
Writing in today’s Wall Street Journal, former Senator Phil Gramm and budgetary expert Mike Solon compare the current recovery to the post-war average as well as to what happened under Reagan.
But I want to make a different point. As I’ve written before, Obama is not responsible for the current downturn. Yes, he was a Senator and he was part of the bipartisan consensus for easy money, Fannie/Freddie subsidies, bailout-fueled moral hazard, and a playing field tilted in favor of debt, but his share of the blame wouldn’t even merit an asterisk.
My problem with Obama is that he hasn’t fixed any of the problems. Instead, he has kept in place all of the bad policies – and in some cases made them worse. Indeed, I challenge anyone to identify a meaningful difference between the economic policy of Obama and the economic policy of Bush.
This is why I always tell people not to pay attention to party labels. Bigger government doesn’t work, regardless of whether a politician is a Republican or Democrat. The problem isn’t Obamanomics, it’s Bushobamanomics. But since that’s a bit awkward, let’s just call it statism.

Writing in today’s Wall Street Journal, former Senator Phil Gramm and budgetary expert Mike Solon compare the current recovery to the post-war average as well as to what happened under Reagan.
If in this “recovery” our economy had grown and generated jobs at the average rate achieved following the 10 previous postwar recessions, GDP per person would be $4,528 higher and 13.7 million more Americans would be working today. …President Ronald Reagan’s policies ignited a recovery so powerful that if it were being repeated today, real per capita GDP would be $5,694 higher than it is now—an extra $22,776 for a family of four. Some 16.9 million more Americans would have jobs.By the way, the Gramm-Solon column also addresses the argument that this recovery is anemic because the downturn was caused by a financial crisis. That’s certainly a reasonable argument, but they point out that Reagan had to deal with the damage caused by high inflation, which certainly wreaked havoc with parts of the financial system. They also compare today’s weak recovery to the boom that followed the financial crisis of 1907.
But I want to make a different point. As I’ve written before, Obama is not responsible for the current downturn. Yes, he was a Senator and he was part of the bipartisan consensus for easy money, Fannie/Freddie subsidies, bailout-fueled moral hazard, and a playing field tilted in favor of debt, but his share of the blame wouldn’t even merit an asterisk.
My problem with Obama is that he hasn’t fixed any of the problems. Instead, he has kept in place all of the bad policies – and in some cases made them worse. Indeed, I challenge anyone to identify a meaningful difference between the economic policy of Obama and the economic policy of Bush.
- Bush increased government spending. Obama has been increasing government spending.
- Bush adopted Keynesian “stimulus” policies. Obama adopted Keynesian “stimulus” policies.
- Bush bailed out politically connected companies. Obama has been bailing out politically connected companies.
- Bush supported the Fed’s easy-money policy. Obama has been supporting the Fed’s easy-money policy.
- Bush created a new healthcare entitlement. Obama created a new healthcare entitlement.
- Bush imposed costly new regulations on the financial sector. Obama imposed costly new regulations on the financial sector.
This is why I always tell people not to pay attention to party labels. Bigger government doesn’t work, regardless of whether a politician is a Republican or Democrat. The problem isn’t Obamanomics, it’s Bushobamanomics. But since that’s a bit awkward, let’s just call it statism.
OBAMA THE DISMAL JOB MAKER...So now he will blame the Chinese??? Hel Who Knows!
Remember back in 2009, when President Obama and his team told us that we needed to spend $800 billion on a so-called stimulus package?
The crowd in Washington was quite confident that Keynesian spending was going to save the day, even though similar efforts had failed for Hoover and Roosevelt in the 1930s, for Japan in the 1990s, and for Bush in 2008.
Nonetheless, we were assured that the stimulus was needed to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.
Well, that claim has turned out to be hollow. Not that we needed additional evidence, but the new numbers from the Labor Department re-confirm that the White House prediction was wildly inaccurate. The 8.2 percent unemployment rate is 2.5 percentage points above the administration’s prediction.
Defenders of the Obama administration sometimes respond by saying that the downturn was more serious than anyone predicted. That’s a legitimate point, so I don’t put too much blame on the White House for the initial spike in joblessness.
But I do blame them for the fact that the labor market has remained weak for such a long time. The chart below, which I generated this morning using the Minneapolis Fed’s interactive website, shows employment data for all the post-World War II recessions. The current business cycle is the red line. As you can see, some recessions were deeper in the beginning and some were milder. But the one thing that is unambiguous is that we’ve never had a jobs recovery as anemic as the one we’re experiencing now.
Job creation has been extraordinarily weak. Indeed, the current 8.2 percent unemployment rate understates the bad news because it doesn’t capture all the people who have given up and dropped out of the labor force.
By the way, I don’t think the so-called stimulus is the main cause of today’s poor employment data. Rather, the vast majority of that money was simply wasted.
Today’s weak job market is affected by factors such as the threat of higher taxes in 2013 (when the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts are scheduled to expire), the costly impact of Obamacare, and the harsh regulatory environment. This cartoon shows, in an amusing fashion, the effect these policies have on entrepreneurs and investors.

OBAMA GUN CONTROL THROUGH THE UN... THIS ASSHOLE WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO UNDERMINE AMERICA!!
The Global Gun Control Threat
By DICK MORRIS
Published on DickMorris.com on July 6, 2012
Dear Friend,
Click Here to sign the petition to stop the US from signing the Arms Trade Treaty!
On July 27th, the nations of the world are scheduled to meet in New York to sign a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Disguised as a way to prevent the proliferation of small arms throughout the world, it is, in fact, a backdoor way to legislate gun control in the United States and effectively repeal our Second Amendment.
The ATT will set up a global body which will require all nations to regulate firearms so that they can prevent their exportation to other countries. Inevitably, this will require countries to inventory the guns in private hands and to register them. A gun ban is not far away.
The ATT, under the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, would have the power of a constitutional amendment and would, effectively, repeal the Second Amendment guaranteeing us the right to bear arms. We must fight to stop the US from signing the treaty and, if we fail, block Senate ratification.
Please sign the petition and include your name and address so we can send it to your Congressman and Senators.

FIGHT TO KEEP YOUR RIGHT
Government Pilot Program Testing Illegal Alien Amnesty !! WHO THE HELL IS THIS GOVERNMENT
FROM JUDICIAL WATCH: TOM FITTON
JW Sues DOJ for Records Detailing Government Pilot Program Testing Illegal Alien Amnesty
Many citizens in the cities of Baltimore and Denver might be surprised to learn that they provided a "testing ground" for the Obama administration's dangerous (and unlawful) policy of suspending the deportations of illegal aliens last year.
But that's exactly what happened. And Judicial Watch has initiated an investigation of the matter. On June 11, we filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Obama Department of Justice seeking records pertaining to this six-week pilot program designed to test the Obama administration's new "standards" for the dismissal of immigration charges against certain illegal aliens. The Obama administration tested the program first in the cities of Baltimore, Maryland and Denver, Colorado beginning on December 4, 2011.
Here's what we're after specifically pursuant to our original November 23, 2011 FOIA request to the Executive Office of Immigration Review ("EOIR"), a component of the Justice Department:
The Justice Department acknowledged receiving our FOIA request on November 28, 2011 and was required by law to respond by January 11, 2012 at the latest. As of the date of our lawsuit, however, the Obama administration has failed to turn over any records responsive to the request, indicate which records are exempt from disclosure, or notify Judicial Watch when a response is forthcoming.
And so, we filed a lawsuit to prod them into action.
If you've been reading this space for some time, you know that this "suspended deportation" controversy has been unfolding now for over two years.
It all began on June 30, 2010, when John Morton, Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent a memo to all ICE employees instructing local immigration officials to use their discretion in "prioritizing" illegal immigration deportation cases. (The memo was leaked to the press and caused a massive uproar.)
On June 17, 2011, John Morton followed up with another memo to all field officers, special agents and to the chief counsel further defining the term "prosecutorial discretion," which, in essence, asked immigration officials to focus deportation proceedings on illegal aliens convicted of crimes. However, Judicial Watch uncovered documents proving immigration officials considered suspending the deportation of illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes.
In November 2011, as reported by CNN, the Obama administration announced that on December 4, 2011 it would begin a pilot program in Baltimore and Denver to "test the process for reviewing cases pending before the immigration court." Details regarding this program were sparse, prompting JW's investigation.
The Obama administration has been playing games with its immigration policy from the beginning in its attempt to evade Congress and implement illegal alien amnesty. First Obama administration officials tried to implement stealth amnesty outside of the public eye, and then when the cat was out of the bag, they doubled down on the policy in open defiance of the law. (An alien who fails to register after 30 days with ICE and keep registration papers on their person is in criminal violation of the law - and can be jailed for up to 30 days - in addition to being deported. This administration is ignoring and condoning this mass criminality.) We know that any number of illegal aliens who receive "get out of jail free cards" from the Obama administration will go on to commit additional crimes, including murder. Obama's stealth amnesty and sanctuary policies will result in the killing of innocent Americans as surely as night follows day.
And on Friday, June 15, 2012, the Obama administration doubled down again, announcing it would no longer deport unlawfully present immigrants under age 30 who came to the United States as children, a policy described by Politico's Steve Friess as "a temporary, de facto implementation of a part of the stalled DREAM Act," that sends "a loud message to Hispanic voters to remember Obama in November."
The American people are tired of the obfuscation and gamesmanship from the Obama administration on such a serious issue: especially when they can plainly see this is all for political purposes. The message to the Obama administration is simple: No more secrecy. No more games. Obey the law. Release the records.
Until next week...

HOMES IN FORECLOSURE AS DOTS ON A MAP....FRIGHTENING AND REAL..OBAMA FUCK YOU TO HELL!
A Frightening Satellite Tour Of America’s Foreclosure Wastelands
On the whole things are getting worse.
72 percent of major metro areas saw an increase in foreclosure volume. Although some of the worst hit areas in Nevada, California and Florida improved from 2009, the foreclosure rate in these areas remains shockingly high. If not for some foreclosure suspensions due to the robosigning scandal, these numbers would have been higher.

FAST AND FURIOUS DID NOT WORK.. SO THEY ARE TRYING THE UN!
URGENT!
OBAMA & HILLARY TO SIGN UN GUN BAN JULY 27!
THEY TRIED IT WITH FAST AND FURIOUS AND GOT FUCKED..NOW THEY ARE TRYING IT THROUGH THE UN
THEY TRIED IT WITH FAST AND FURIOUS AND GOT FUCKED..NOW THEY ARE TRYING IT THROUGH THE UN
URGENT UPDATE: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to sign the 2nd Amendment killing UN GUN BAN Treaty JULY 27!
The Supremacy Clause of our Constitution says that treaties are the "law of the land" and cannot be overwritten by acts of Congress or acts of the State Legislatures. So IF the Senate ratifies the UN Arms Trade Treaty that Obama and Hillary intend to sign July 27, the UN Gun Ban will VOID THE SECOND AMENDMENT!
The UN Arms Trade Treaty seeks to set up an international agency that will control the availability of arms and ammunition around the world. This new international body will have the authority to tell signing nations what they can and cannot sell within their own borders. In addition, the international body will have the authority to ban existing guns within countries.
In other words, if the UN decides they don't like your .45 or your 30.06, they can and will ban both the guns and the ammo!
Feel like giving the UN your personal protection weapon any time soon?
How about your hunting rifle?
Neither do I !
Let's get busy and demand the Senate STOP THE UN GUN BAN!
UN TARGETS HANDGUNS & HUNTING RIFLES
STOP THE GUN GRAB!
Gun Control Advocates like Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton, keep insisting that the United Nation's Small Arms Treaty won't affect the average American - only bad guys with big scary weapons. But this treaty has nothing to do with disarming cartels and criminal regimes; rather it is about disarming the citizens of the freest country in the world - America.STOP THE GUN GRAB!
The United Nation's and their globalist supporters hate guns...ALL GUNS. Your hunting rifle. My personal protection weapon. Don't believe it? Take a good look at the statue that graces the United Nations plaza - a .38 with the barrel tied in a knot.
The Canadian government just filed an emergency petition to exclude hunting rifles from the upcoming United Nations Arms Treaty - Mexico subsequently objected. THE UNITED STATES REMAINED SILENT!Americans have a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to keep & bear arms, so why isn't our government the one working to exempt hunting weapons? Because Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton want us totally and completely disarmed.
Will you wait until mandatory gun confiscation programs go into effect?
Or will you stand with me now and INSIST our Senate NEVER let this unConstitutional, Freedom killing, Agenda 21 enabling, UN Treaty ever so much as reach the Senate floor?
Because if we don't ACT NOW, we can kiss our hunting and personal protection right goodbye.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been working for years to completely disarm Americans. Back in 2009, Clinton announced the United States would reverse Bush administration opposition to international small arms control. Now with a little help from her Marxist pal Barack Obama and the NWO United Nations, she is just weeks from success.
Hillary and friends claim the sole purpose of the UN Arms Trade Treaty is to stop terrorism and crime. But the truth is, this abominable treaty would do nothing more that prevent Americans from defending themselves from petty crime and tyranny alike. THE UN ARMS TRADE TREATY WILL CONFISCATE AND BAN ALL GUNS OWNED BY AMERICANS!
In a recent meeting, high level staffers from Senator Marco Rubio's office told Unite In Action that the UN Gun Treaty is everything we feared and worse. One Rubio staffer identified this treaty as the single most deadly threat to American freedom EVER. The gun grab is real, and the fight to strip Americans of our guns is happening right now!
Former US Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, agrees; "[The UN] is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control" said Bolton.
The UN Arms Trade Treaty Preparatory Committee is attempting to defend its stance by claiming the UN is, "Concerned by the misuse of weaponry around the world, civil society organizations have successfully mobilized governments and parliamentarians to call for the global regulation of the conventional arms trade."
And now, that same Third Preparatory Committee has figured out how to bend the US to the New World Order's will. In July, the group decided that a majority vote will NOT be required for the treaty to pass. That means dissent will be stifled and this international gun-grabbing scheme will pass if we the American people do not act to protect our Second Amendment Rights!
Throughout history tyranny has succeeded in crushing freedom only by disarming the citizens.
Will you silently relinquish your rights? Because silence now WILL result in the loss of YOUR guns.
Together, we can preserve the Constitutional rights our Founding Fathers intended our people to have forever.
Together we can save America!

OBAMA BULLSHITS ABOUT HIS JOBS RECORD
Worried Obama Spending Millions to Hype Jobs Record
Thursday, 05 Jul 2012 07:38 AM
With four months to go until Election Day, President Obama’s well-funded campaign on the airwaves is focusing on two broad themes: that he is a fighter for the middle class who needs more time to finish the job, and that Republican rival Mitt Romney is obsessed with corporate profits to the point of being borderline unpatriotic.
“Outsourcing versus insourcing - it matters,” declares a TV ad from the Obama campaign this week that criticizes Mr. Romney for moving jobs overseas during his tenure at the helm of Bain Capital LLC, a private-equity firm. Airing in nine battleground states, it is typical of the negative ads that Mr. Obama’s Chicago team has aimed at the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Some of the commentary accuses Mr. Romney of ignoring what’s best for America.
Editor's Note: Will Obama Be Defeated? Vote Here!
“Mitt Romney’s economic philosophy has always put maximizing his profits above anything else,” Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told reporters Tuesday. “Even if it means refusing to bet on America and its workers.”
Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg countered: “We are happy to put Gov. Romney’s record of job creation in the private sector, and as governor, up against President Obama’s any day.
“If President Obama had even half of Mitt Romney’s record on jobs, he’d be running on it,” she said. “But President Obama has the worst record on jobs and the economy of any president in modern history, which is why he is running a campaign based on negative attacks, distortions and distractions, not solutions.”
The Obama campaign’s attack on Mr. Romney’s record in the private sector is aided by the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA, which is run by two former Obama White House staffers, Bill Burton and Sean Sweeney. From April 10 through June 28, 100 percent of the ads sponsored by Priorities USA mentioned Bain Capital by name, according to a study by Kantar Media’s campaign media analysis group.
The president also is the target of relentlessly negative ads, funded in part by wealthy conservatives who can spend unlimited amounts independently of Mr. Romney’s campaign. Mr. Obama has worried aloud to supporters that he might be outspent in this race, and he is countering the Republican attacks with an advertising blitz in battleground states to reintroduce himself to voters.
The campaign spent $12 million on TV ads in a single week last month, after a $25 million, monthlong ad buy that ended in early June. The Obama team has purchased $6.5 million worth of airtime for TV ads during the Olympic Games in London, which begin July 27.
One Obama commercial that aired recently reminded viewers that the Great Recession began before Mr. Obama took office and recounted the president’s achievements such as rescuing the auto industry and killing Osama bin Laden.
“Some said our best days were behind us,” the ad’s narrator says. “He believed in us. He fought for us. We’re coming back.”
The president’s ads play heavily toward the female vote, citing his advocacy of equal pay for equal work and his support of contraception coverage. The campaign’s first national TV ad, which aired last month, featured actress Sarah Jessica Parker of “Sex and the City” fame, who was hosting a fundraising dinner for Mr. Obama at her home in Manhattan. In the spot, she called the president “the guy who ended the war in Iraq, the guy who says you should be able to marry anyone you want, the guy who created 4 million new jobs.”
The only time Mr. Obama’s ads mention debt is when they are talking about Mr. Romney and the debt he amassed while governor of Massachusetts.
Of the $25 million ad buy, the Obama campaign devoted $5 million each to Ohio, where the president will begin a campaign bus tour on Thursday, and to Florida, where the TV ads are continuing in a summerlong bombardment. The campaign is spending most of its Florida budget on the Interstate 4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando, a region that is home to a burgeoning Hispanic population.

The campaign is spending most of its Florida budget on the Interstate 4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando, a region that is home to a burgeoning Hispanic population.
“It appears that Barack Obama feels he’s in trouble in Florida,” said Republican consultant Jamie Miller of Sarasota, Fla. “Obama has come out of the gate swinging hard at Romney because it is clear that Floridians are rejecting Obama’s failed policies.”
In June, Obama for America spent more than $2.1 million on more than 2,390 TV commercials in the Orlando market, according to a review by the Orlando Sentinel. In May, the Obama campaign spent more than $2 million for 985 commercials in the same region.
The latest census figures show 4.36 million Hispanics in Florida - representing 23 percent of the state’s population. Priorities USA is also teaming with the Service Employees International Union on a $4 million Spanish-language ad campaign in Florida, Colorado and Nevada to portray Mr. Romney as uncaring about average workers.
Mr. Romney’s campaign hasn’t aired TV ads in Florida, although four Republican groups - including the pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future - spent a total of $1.4 million in the Orlando TV market last month

OBAMA CARE ABOMINATION FIGHT BACK JOIN THE CRUSADE!
ObamaCare Is A Mandatory Tax - Repeal it Now!
ALERT: The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the individual mandate within the ObamaCare law, can survive as a TAX TAKEN FROM YOU BY THE IRS rather than a mandate. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority decision and joined the Court's liberal justices and by claiming it is a tax and not a mandate they will let it stand. Washington is not listening to America and States must Act to Stop ObamaCare.
SELECT HERE & Demand Congress Repeal ObamaCare NOW!
Donate Today and We Will Send Your 'Get Hope, Fire Obama' Sticker!
This Supreme Court decision flies in the face of the claim by Obama and his cronies in Congress that it is not a tax and was a mandate. Legislative history shows Congress passed ObamaCare claiming it was not a tax.
ObamaCare's government run socialized medicine is out of control. Doctors must now practice medicine according to government guidelines or else they will be sued and Americans will have the IRS taking money from your returns! Next we will be taxed for not eating government approved foods by medical edict.
All American families wanted before ObamaCare was affordable health care and insurance companies that would work side by side with doctors on medical procedures.
So far, the Senate has voted to repeal only a small part of ObamaCare. They voted to get rid of the tax reporting requirement that forces businesses to file a 1099 for every expense over $600. That would literally drown business owners (FYI Obama those are job creators) in paper work. Thankfully, that's gone. But that's only one piece of the deficit-busting bill that won't become law. Nullification is the last chance we have to get rid of ObamaCare.
Outrageously Obama and the Congress - YES, the same irresponsible Congress that raised the debt to a record $15 trillion, mandates that the "United States Preventative Services Task Force" wants to rate your medical services. Many services that get "Cs" and "Ds"--such as screening for ovarian or testicular cancer--could get terminated from coverage entirely and doctors must comply. However as long as doctors treat patients according to Obama's orders they will have immunity from malpractice lawsuits.
Think about it. The government could order doctors to give patients subpar treatments or refuse treatment all together. After all, no doctor wants to get sued. And if you do not comply the Supreme Court says you will get taxed.

Healthcare access will be in short supply as doctors will be in scarce supply even if you can afford to find one. A Physicians Foundation Survey revealed that 40% of doctors plan to drop out of the medical field entirely! 60% said that government run healthcare will "compel them to close or significantly restrict their practices to certain categories of patients." That means Americans on Medicare or Medicaid will find it virtually impossible to receive adequate healthcare.
There is no time to waste. It's imperative that we repeal ObamaCare NOW! The liberals are doing everything they can to stop efforts to repeal ObamaCare. The House has voted 245-189 to repeal the unconstitutional law. But Harry Reid is blocking the legislation from going to the Senate. He said a Senate vote would be a waste of time because Americans want ObamaCare!

Supreme Court Justice Nominee Elena Kagan helped craft and defend socialist healthcare while she was Obama's Solicitor General when ObamaCare by-passed a final Senate vote to make it law. Now the court has changed the law into a tax and ObamaCare was upheld by the Supreme Court that Kagan refuses to recues herself from even though her vote was clearly biased.
Enough is enough! It's time we get rid of ObamaCare before it bankrupts our country and ruins our healthcare system. Spending $3 trillion dollars to reduce the standard of healthcare in America makes no sense. That is why it's so critical we hammer Congress to repeal ObamaCare - right away!

Obama on "gunwalking" -HE IS A LIAR... HOLDER KNEW AND SO DID HE!!
GREAT READ:
Wait, so we had guns going to Mexico? Fast and Furious explained EXTREMELY WELL!!
***
We keep seeing reports of this “Fast and Furious” story. What are we to make of it?Guns were being sent into Mexico.
The republicans want answers. The democrats view this as a witch hunt and the republicans merely playing politics.
Wait a minute. WHY were guns going into Mexico?
Obama has used the executive privilege to withold documents, congress has voted to hold Eric Holder in contempt. Yet others say that this really started during the Bush administration and that this is a costly waste of time.
So let me get this straight. WERE guns going into Mexico?
We do know that guns were going into Mexico. The why is much more complicated. There are different theories. We could know for sure, but the attorney general and the president are stonewalling on information.
Why does it matter? Well we had American weapons being funneled to violent people in a foreign country, for starters. Well who in the world would allow that to happen? THAT’S WHAT CONGRESS IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT! Who authorized this program? Why did they authorize it? How high did this go in the government? Who knew what and when did they know it?
At least one American federal agents was murdered on the boarder with those weapons. His family deserves answers. Holder claimed to have had known nothing. But it is known for a fact that his Chief of Staff had intimate knowledge of what was going on.
In March 23, 2011, in an interview with Univision, Obama said that neither he nor Holder had authorized Fast and Furious and that the Mexican government would have also been unaware. Obama goes as far as saying that he hadn’t even been aware of the program stating, “This is a pretty big government.” (which, ironically, might have been his only true statement in the interview.)
In another interview, Obama claimed that Holder knew nothing and that the ATF was the entity who orchestrated Fast and Furious.
May 3, 2011: While testifying to congress, Holder stated: “I’m not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.”
October 3, 2011: It came to light that Holder had actually had knowledge of this at least as early as July 5, 2010 in official briefings which were addressed specifically to Holder. This was reported by Katie Pavlich (who has a great book entitled “Fast and Furious.”)
So basically, Holder lied. And he probably knew about it before July because we now know that Deputy Attorney General Gary Grindler knew about it as early as March 2010.
According to the Mexican Attorney General, at least 200 Mexicans have died from these weapons. What did Holder know? We would be able to answer that question if they would be up front with information. They’re not and they haven’t been. And now Obama is using the executive privilege to attempt shielding Holder.
June 20, 2012: Congress votes Holder in contempt for failing to provide the documents which had been subpoenad.
Some in the media are doing everything they can to downplay what has happened. MSNBC’s Martin Bashir called it “a witch hunt.” As I’ve already said, others are trying to downplay this as nothing but political posturing from the right. Really?
Can’t you at least entertain the idea that there could actually be something to this? What are the republicans trying to distract the American people from? The amazing job Obama is doing as president? Newsflash: Obama is four and a half months away from being voted out.
One liberal commentator made the cavalier statement, almost in passing, that republicans in congress have been on this for over a year. If Holder could have been forthright from the beginning, and if no wrongdoing from his department had occurred, perhaps this could have been dealt with long ago. But he not only failed to cooperate, he failed to tell the truth. But why would he lie if he did nothing wrong? If there’s nothing to hide, why won’t they turn over documents?
Some of the other attempts to mitigate the significance of Fast and Furious have been truly absurd. People have argued that it’s because of the race of the president and attorney general. Others have argued that this really began during the Bush Administration.
Really?
Holder lied to cover up something that’s Bush’s fault? That makes absolutely no sense. Fast and Furious – as a matter of fact – did NOT begin during the Bush Administration. There was a program called Operation Wide Receiver where guns were being used for the purpose of capturing drug cartels in sting operations, and this was done in conjunction with the Mexican government.
Fast and Furious was entirely different. It began and ended during Obama’s term. Fast and Furious was also a unilateral American move and was not done with Mexico.
This current issue is obviously not Bush’s fault. If it were, why on earth would the Obama Administration be stonewalling? Also, there were actually isssues with Operation Wide Receiver. The Department of Justice indicted several people connected to that program. So to try to justify Fast and Furious in light of Bush doesn’t make sense because people actually did face legal issues.
With Fast and Furious, we know Holder has lied and it appears that Obama is covering him. This could turn out to be nothing (but if it were, why the lies?) Or it could be a much more significant scandal.
There’s a conspiracy theory that the Obama Administration intentionally wanted the guns to get into Mexico to cause a spike in border violence and that they could look at the increased violence as a scapegoat reason to enact federal gun restrictions.
Absurd?
Again. That could be debunked with a transparent administration. But they’re not transparent and speculation continues to bubble.
Maybe President Romney will be able to get to the bottom of this.
OBAMA SAYS NEITHER HE NOR HOLDER KNEW ANY THING ABOUT FAST AND FURIOUS ..... NOW HOLDER SAID HE LIED AND NOW SAYS HE KNEW !!.. SO OBAMA WAS lYING WHEN HE DID THIS INTERVIEW...look at his eyes blinking you can tell!!
