Executive privilege exerted again...This time over the refusal to release all of the requested "Fast & Furious" documents to Congress...Is this a wise move by the Obama administration?

    I worked at a gun store for a while (couldn't get a construction job for about a year thanks to obamanomics). We always were vigilant in preventing straw purchases as are all gun stores that expect to keep their license.

    Did yours have a picture of Obama on the wall , along with a sign saying GUN SALESMAN OF THE YEAR ? ( Many Shops Did ) . Gun Purchases Went Up 45% Leading Up To The Election Of Obama in 2008 .

    With good reason...Obama doesn't agree with your divine right to self defense.

    "We always were vigilant in preventing straw purchases"

    What are "straw purchases"?

    Basically, a person buying a gun for someone who can't legally buy a gun

    Executive Privilege only applies to one person, the President.

    This means the President knew about Fast and Furious and that the documents most likely prove that the President lied to the American people.

    It is probably best for 0bama to keep the documents sealed and continue to claim the Republicans are racist.

    This claim of Executive Privilege ties Obama's W/H directly to this scandal an now coverup, see the following comment from Sen. Grassley:

    “The assertion of executive privilege raises monumental questions,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who first began the Fast and Furious investigation.

    “How can the president assert executive privilege if there was no White House involvement? How can the president exert executive privilege over documents he’s supposedly never seen? Is something very big being hidden to go to this extreme? The contempt citation is an important procedural mechanism in our system of checks and balances,” he said.

    Puts Obama and his cronies in a Catch 22 situation doesn't it?

    What a scumbag Obama is.



    his presidency has been compared to the ineffectiveness of Jimmy Carter's, when it should be compared to Richard Nixon's.



    So the DoJ can, now, do whatever it wants with no consequence because it knows Obama has its back??



    can somebody tell me what other well known world leader ever had that sort of control?



    what next? a national police force?

    i want to puke.

    This is US v. Nixon all over again.

    And this time, the committee investigating the (putative) President is not a select committee. It's a standing committee of the House.

    "Well how did you expect to liberate Cuba by perpetrating a burglary in Washington, DC?!?" -- Senator Sam J. Ervin (D-SC), Chairman, Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities ("The Watergate Committee").

    It's not a great move, but probably the best he can do. Anything that comes out of the investigation will be more damaging than people assuming a coverup. It has happened in most of the administrations going back to Nixon. People are used to accepting coverups, but if something tangible comes out, the crap will hit the fan.

    Congressional privilege to impeach him should be exercised.
    Doubt as it will happen as the congress don't have the Grit to face a stare down.

    Yeah, keeping this stuff secret is important but leaking to the NY Times about Kill Lists, Cyber Attacks on Iran, that's OK.

    Let's face it, the president is an arrogant buffoon who doesn't know the first thing about being a president.

    That one did Nixon little good and literally put the power in the hands of the Democrats, This time the reverse seems to be the case. Whatever the papers say must have oput Obum,mer on the TREASON TRACK to oblivian, Perhaps it was that Owhummer is a part of the Mexican Drug Cartel humaself and ,,,,,, well............
    Whtever it is it has let off a doozy. Impeachment may be the mionor end of it. Demo=rats had best be careful defending this Marxist from here on. It looks as if the Oboozer has poked two toms of Manure in a one ton bag. At some point the drsmd eill split.

    Hard to say, but he had to decide the lesser of two evils. If there is something really damning in the requested documents suppressing it may be the best way to go. This action clearly makes it look like he's hiding something, though.
