To date Barack Obama, the dispenser of hope and change and the presiding officer over the least transparent presidency in history, has claimed he only learned about Fast and Furious earlier this year. However, with each new document dump Obama’s timeframe seems to be as inaccurate (or as purposely misleading) as Attorney General Eric Holder’s. For example, just months after he took office it was evident he was focused on a Fast and Furious-like operation, ostensibly aimed at cutting down on gun trafficking on the southern border. Thus, on March 24, 2009, Deputy Attorney General David Ogden made the following announcement:
The President has directed us to take action to fight [Mexican] cartels…and Attorney General Holder and I are taking several new and aggressive steps as part of the administration’s comprehensive plan.
And the following month, April 2009, he stood beside Mexican President Felipe Calderón and uttered words we now recognize as hypocritical and duplicitous at best:
I continue to believe that we can respect and honor the Second Amendment right in our Constitution — the rights of sportsmen and hunters and homeowners that want to keep their families safe — to lawfully bear arms, while dealing with assault weapons that, as we know here in Mexico, are used to fuel violence.
Fast forward one year, and White House logs show that then-Deputy Attorney General Gary Grindler met personally with Obama four times between May 7 and May 19, 2010.

Knew? Hell, he probably ordered it in the first place
That is one of the reasons he is closing the files..Him and his friends need to be in prison..
Remember Watergate.....that was nothing compared to this.

Exactly! Nobody was killed in the Watergate break-in. If anyone can make a campaign issue out of this and “take it to” Obama, Newt Gingrich can.
And the House doesn't have the stomach for impeachment proceedings.
What do people think Obama meant when he said he was addressing gun control “under the radar”.....????
Closing the files amounts to obstruction of justice.

Yo!
“That is one of the reasons he is closing the files..”
Yep. (Too bad that only a handful of Repubs in Congress seem to care about the fact that border agents lost their lives because of this, though).
So if Obama commits suicide, will we still have to have our TV schedule screwed up with the horseless carriage thing?
Or, can we simply call it Apple Pie Day and throw another log on the fire? ;>)
Obama lied, people died and then he tried to hide.
As long as Barry has some black blood in him, aint nuthin gonna happen because the pussies in D.C. will always fear a nationwide race riot if any justice is done.
“Family of U.S. agent slain in Mexico demands to know gun source” (7/17/2011)
Family of U.S. agent slain in Mexico demands to know gun source
The lawyer for Jaime Zapata’s family says U.S. officials refuse to answer questions about whether the weapons used were linked to the Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation...
“What happened with Jaime needs to come out,” the family’s lawyer, Raymond L. Thomas of McAllen, Texas, said in a telephone interview Sunday. “And the likelihood that these were Fast and Furious guns is certainly plausible...”
