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?

    Who made you the spokesperson for the American public.

    I would like to know why the Oblah blah administration put guns in the hands of drug runners.

    If it had been your son killed by guns furnished by the fast and furious fiasco, I doubt you would have such a devil may care attitude.

    Why doesn't Congress move on and focus on the problems this country is facing? They've been harping on this issue for a year now, have found nothing illegal, time they move on and let it go.

    Why doesn't Obama do his job?
    We want to cooperate but I am exercising Executive privilege to prevent you from finding out the truth. Does that pass as cooperation in your world?
    If you lived in a border state maybe you would be a bit more concerned about this issue.
    You are wrong about them finding nothing illegal. Giving guns to drug runners is illegal, lying before Congress about your knowledge of the incident is also illegal.
    I refuse to ignore the Elephant in the room because we have other issues in this Country.
    The chickens are coming home to roost for Obama and Holder. It's about freaking time!

    Dude, I live in Ca and that is a border state.
    Did you feel the same way about the felon Ollie North and Reagan when they supplied guns and drugs with the Iran/Contra mess?
    Did you bitch up a storm with Bush invoked executive privilege 6 times during his scandalous administration?

    Seems you only complain when a Democrat does something you don't like

    Supplying guns to drug runners who use those guns on American citizens is hardly the same as arming freedom fighters in a foreign Country. Even a simpleton would recognize the difference.

    Actually when Bush used his Executive privileged to hide the truth about Clinton and Reno I screamed like a banshie. What a waste of a great privilege.

    Last time I checked I was still in America, I will complain about anything I like, if that doesn't please you.....too freaking bad!!!

    The Fast & Furious scheme was fundamentally stupid. It should have been obvious to anyone with half a high school education too many people were too deeply involved in too many felonies for all the secrets to be kept. The simple degree of complexity guaranteed the scheme would see the light of day in short order. In general, the stupider the scheme, the higher its point of origin in the feral government food chain.

    Finally this gang of criminals' lies are coming home to roost. To paraphrase a close mentor of both Obama and Holder. The questing that should have been shouted from the rooftops for months is - What did Obama know and when did he know it?

    Maybe if obummer would meet Congress and unite instead of divide, like Bill Clinton did in 1994 with Newt Gingrich as speaker, then he could accomplish something. He stayed far left and you left wing nut jobs have taken the bait because you're jealous of any accomplishments hard working Americans have made for themselves....

    He has done nothing but LIE. I was willing to give him a chance, he promised so much but the problem is that he delivered so little. He could have done what he campaigned on ad done something about the job situation like he said he would....Instead he did nothing.

    Now with FAST and FURIOUS the transparency he campaigned on is non existent.

    Now, with the current Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal, Mr. Holder not only chooses to ignore subpoenas, but also expects the public and the Congress to believe that he never saw more than a dozen memos about the operation that were addressed to him. He also expects everyone to believe that he cannot remember any e-mail exchanges with his key aides about the issue, even though they were deeply involved in various aspects of the deadly operation.

    Even in light of the fact that the gun-walking operation has led to the deaths of both Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in 2010 and U.S. Immigration Agent Jaime Zapata in 2011, as well as to the deaths of as many as 300 Mexican citizens, Mr. Holder still refuses to comply

    After years of corrupt, scandalous, and arrogant behavior by the attorney general, the Fast and Furious scandal has finally brought about the circumstance to hold Mr. Holder to account. The members of the House of Representatives will hopefully do not only what is necessary, but what is both right and just, and move to place Eric Holder in contempt.

    As Executive Privilege could only be used by OblameO if he was in the documents himself, this tells me one of two things. Either He knew about it and helped to cover it up OR Holder has something on him that Holder used to force him. Either way, Obama is trying to hide something.

    Over 300 people are dead and people want to know how this happened. I know Brian Terrys family does and I do to. This move by Obama stalls the investigation. This does not look good him. It down right pisses people like me off. It should everyone. On top of that the Romney camp is a smart one and I am sure they will use this wisely during the election. Just another example of Obamas arrogance.

    This has to have been one of the stupidest moves Egobama has made.

    Hopefully, Grassley and his committee will be able to keep Obama so busy expalining why he would assert EP for documents he claims he has never seen nor was not aware of their existence.....since knowledge of those documents is tantamount to qualifying for EP, that campaigning will now be out of the question.

    In retrospect, it now puts Obama in a situation where he is going to have to explain just what he knows and when he knew it.

    But Mr.Holder told Issa that even though some materials are classified,that he would make provisions to hand them over anyway. This is something Issa was demanding knowing the rules. Issa thought Holder was going to put up a fight about turning classified papers over. Holder said Ok, I'll turn them over to you and Issa said no. In my opinion, this is just another way to try and bring Obama down by the republican's This gun deal was going on when Reagan was in office, remember the Iran contraband and Oliver North, America's hero

    The papers Holder offered to turn over were not the ones asked for. Issa and the commity wants specific documents, ones they know are there and tell what happened. Also your statement about the Iran contra affair is (while I believe the wrong to do) is like apples and oranges. The comparison of freedom fighters seeking democracy against a communist dictatorship and drug running gangsters is a far reach. Last, Reagan came forward and turned his information over.
