‘Hiding in plain sight’—How did Obama know about ‘Gunwalker’ before Holder?
Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 14 October, 2011 | David Codrea

Posted on 10/15/2011 4:49:27 AM PDT by marktwain

“CNN's John King discovers an interview with President Barack Obama that directly refutes Attorney General Eric Holder's testimony before congress,” the caption for a video posted on BreitbartTV claims.

The reason for this claim is because Obama spoke about “Fast and Furious” in March. Holder declared in May that he had only heard about the gunwalking program “for the first time over the last few weeks.”

“CNN's John King discovers an interview with President Barack Obama that directly refutes Attorney General Eric Holder's testimony before congress,” the caption for a video posted on BreitbartTV claims.

The reason for this claim is because Obama spoke about “Fast and Furious” in March. Holder declared in May that he had only heard about the gunwalking program “for the first time over the last few weeks.”

“I'm ashamed I didn't pick up on this before,” Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars admits. “Sheesh, it was hiding in plain sight.”

Vanderboegh is not the only one who missed the obvious. Even more embarrassing, Gun Rights Examiner reported “Holder revelations contradict Obama’s ‘Gunwalker’ assertions” on October 4, referencing the same video King “discovered,” but failed to notice and note the date of the president’s interview.

The King report concludes with Rep. Elijah Cummings, who continues with his partisan covering for Holder while, in other venues, he attacks the efforts of Darrell Issa as “a gross abuse of Committee authority.” Considering his personal culpability in ignoring allegations of corruption and abuse by ATF agents at a time when “Gunwalker” could have been nipped in the bud, that is hardly surprising.

See the sidebar video player for the president’s admission that he—and Holder—knew about “Fast and Furious” before Holder testified he did.

“Over the past few weeks” could extend as far as six weeks, as I see it. This is not quite an open-and-shut case.

For the average 3 second I have an opinion viewer of MSLSD, CNN Obama knew before Holder knew he knew...got it! We’re mentally taxing the intelligent idiots one day at a time.

Yesterday was the first time I have noticed Rush doing any sort of “in depth” conversation about this topic...and he seemed to have the facts right.

That attention from Rush will wake up a lot more people, I think.

Easy—while he can barely read a Teleprompter, he is psychic.

No doubt he will respond to this question with a sigh and a nine-paragraph reply about how “some Republicans” are trying to distract from the REAL problems of everyday Americans.

There will be records of other people involved directly in the white house with Obama knowing about this from the beginning. People will start pleading the 5th....

Because holder told him. No, wait a minute. Holder knew about it before he didn't know about it?

Dear Mike,
You have nothng to be ‘ashamed’ of. If it wasn’t for you guys and your persistance, no one would know anything about this.

Odds are a bunch of them sat in the oval office and planned things out in detail. None of it was an accident and if we had not taken back the House they’d have got away with it.

Something really smells. Remember back in 2009 when President Fox complained to Obama that Guns from U.S. was getting hands of the drug gangs. Question: When did “gun runner” start? When did the our fed stop putting tracking devices in the weapons and under who’s order?

obummer clearly stated, so that there would be no misunderstanding when this comes up in court, that "He heard it on the news", and that Holder didn't tell him and Holder, like

"He heard it on the news",

That was the comment that jumped out at me too. That was very deliberate.
