"What did the president know, and when did he know it?????"

(CNSNews.com) – White House Spokesman Jay Carney has failed to follow-up on a statement he made at the June 27 White House briefing that he would get back to a reporter with the exact date that President Barack Obama first became aware of “Operation Fast and Furious,” a botched sting operation in which U.S. officials knowingly allowed smugglers to buy guns at licensed U.S. firearms dealers.
“I’ll have to get back to you," Carney said at the briefing. "I don’t have an exact date for you.”
The operation was halted shortly after two of the guns from the operation were found at the murder scene of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in December 2010. It was an operation ran primarily through the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
The Justice Department in Washington, D.C., the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Arizona, the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration were also involved, according to findings by congressional investigators.
On June 27, CNSNews.com asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, “Could you tell me what is the exact date that the president learned about the Justice Department ATF operation to allow guns to flow into Mexico?”
Carney apparently had trouble understanding the question, saying, “I mean, I think I’ve answered this question a bunch about -- about what he learned?”
CNSNews.com said, “What is the exact date that he learned about it?”
Carney apparently still did not understand. “The exact thing that he learned?”
CNSNews.com again clarified, “Exact date -- date.”
Carney finally responded, “I’ll have to get back to you. I don’t have an exact date for you.”
The White House has since not responded to questions about an exact date or approximate date when Obama learned about the operation.
The next day, June 28, CNSNews.com sent a follow-up e-mail to Carney. Then on July 6, CNSNews.com e-mailed Carney and the White House press office, and called the White House press office to ask for the exact date the president became aware of “Operation Fast and Furious.” In lieu of a precise date, CNSNews.com said an approximate date of a month and year would be helpful.
Neither Carney nor another White House spokesperson replied.
Crickets!
Probably on the day he approved it -- right after Holder gave him the briefing on the subject.
“The buck never got here”
BHO: “The Buck Stops He.....ey Eric, look! There it is, right there! Under the wheels of that bus! Be a pal and reach under there and get it for me, will you?”
It smells like Obama has had his hands all over it from the start!
CBS news....wow....Kudos to them.
I think we need someone to say, what did the President know and when did he know it! Oasshole is squirming, you can bet on that. He knows if the blow torch gets to Holder, he has to count on that weasel to hold out for him.
If this really gets going, which will happen if the MSM picks up on the news the emperor has no clothes and is not going to be reelected, it will get very interesting for sure. Order the popcorn now. Now, does (.)bama do an LBJ? Probably not before the DNC gets Biden to claim he has has some illness and they need to have a new VP put in place.
This was NOT a "botched sting operation"!!! It was an operation to get guns bought at US retail outlets across the border and into the hands of Mexican criminals. Then when the Mexican authorities got their hands on them, it could be blamed on the easy access to guns in the US.
This reeks of TOTAL DECEPTION.. but then it is HOLDER and OBAMA, which makes it understandable.
Where are they now?
Remember B.O. (Before Obama) when we heard interminable howling from democrats and the liberal media on every issue?
“What did he know and when did he know it?”
“What did he know and when did he know it?”
“What did he know and when did he know it?”
“What did he know and when did he know it?”
Obama on video. It is difficult to see the video (it just rolls and rolls in a non playing status on CBS direct) but it is all over youtube. To all reading this make copies it may disappear.

Like dealing with a recalcitrant child.
"Did you do the dishes?"
"What?"
"Did you do the dishes?"
"Yeah, I fed the dog."
"No. Did you do the dishes?"
"What?"
"The dishes. I'm still asking about the dishes."
"I left my book at Sally's house."
"I'm not asking if you did your homework. I'm asking if you did the dishes."
"What?"
And everyone knows that there will no lies from mac, the liar, daddies administration of crooks, liars and corrupt people.

Better question:
When will the IMPEACHMENT hearings begin?.....................
This whole sordid tale has the stench of Barack.
