Maybe he would not do what Obama wanted.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Only question now is what freedom-hating bureaucrat they plan on replacing him with?

He took the big fat pension, and ran. Smart move.

Are there any white people involved in running the country?

I’m sure Obama has a gun hater already picked out to replace him.

Bingo. My first thought is he wasn’t extreme enough for Obama and Holder. There has been surprisingly little action on gun control. Congress won’t touch it, the courts have ruled against Obama’s wishes, and the states are liberalizing their gun laws. This must have Obama furious for someone not doing his executive bidding. The scary thing is who will replace him. Holder?

And what does his stepping down actually SOLVE about the underlying issues with the ATF?

It won’t reduce the chances of this happening again... so what is the point in the scapegoat? It doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with placating the public.

It is much harder to take some one's pension after they have retired. I suspect that B. Todd Jones has decided to leave the agency because his fingerprints are all over emails and other digital trails leading to the attempted, and likely illegal ban on M855 and SS109 ammunition.

HA! As if anybody in the Federal government is ever held to account for their actions.

It does not *solve* anything for the public, but it might *solve* a lot for B. Todd Jones.

It might prevent a congressional investigation. It might be a way of not doing criminal acts ordered from above.

It has the potential to solve problems for B. Todd Jones or the Obama administration.

“...The ATF announced Friday that Director B. Todd Jones is resigning at the end of the month “to pursue other opportunities in the private sector.”...”

Translation: Former Director B. Todd Jones is to become a token director at one of His Arrogance’s crony capitalist criminal enterprises and collect his graft, deferred bribes, and extortion under the guise of an unconsciously inflated salary. Undisclosed sources have attributed a multi-million dollar advance to Jones for a book that he is to write that will sell 3 or 4 copies and end up on the sale table at Wal-Mart.

Would having White Stalinists in charge make you feel better ?

The advantages of White Stalinists is that playing the race card is much harder.

No doubt there would be disadvantages as well.

Yes. I would be allowed to criticize them without being called a racist!

That won’t stop them. Remember Bubba as “The First Black President” ?

How many Congressmen and Senators cringe and cower at the thought of being called "racist?"

Obama can basically get away with murder. Politicians are afraid to criticize him.

Too many Republicans are cowards and spineless, period. The race card is just another excuse. Remember “mean spirited”, the “racist” mantra of the ‘90s ? If it’s not one thing, it’s something else.
