The idiot probably finally realized it and wants to do something about it.

I’m sick of waiting, this is like watching a pot to boil over. If this was any other president, the media would have destroyed the administration months ago.

“When you look back at Holder’s testimony a few weeks ago — in his opening statement he basically fell back on that again and said — ‘You know what? You may have problems with Fast and Furious, but this just goes to show we need to keep a tighter lid on arms and guns in America that may be leaving the country,’” he continued.******

Well now that makes perfect sense. You’ve got a Justice Dept lead gunrunning operation to Mexico therefore you need to curb 2nd Amend. rights. Brilliant.

So, then, why isn’t Rep Joe. Walsh stating the “elephant in the room”: “ A political policy decision resulted inm the death of a citizen of the US who was also under the emplyment authority of the Chief Executive.”

That amounts to treason.

was a plot from the administration to build support for gun control.

I've been sayin it all along. At the very same time they were allowing guns to go across the border to cartels, the President and Calderon were up at their respective podiums railing about how the lax gun control in the United States, and loopholes at gun shows were the source of many of the gun problems and violence in Mexico.

They were doing this on purpose. Wouldn't be surprised if Mexico knows a lot more than they are letting on.

Until they come up with a compeling alternative story, this narrative fits as well as any. A little convoluted though.

Incompetance or corruption: you decide.

Who is going to make a Michael Moore style documentary? “Bowling for Skinheads” anyone?

They are just now figuring out this was a Gun Control attempt by Obama?

Doesn’t anyone else remember Obama and the Mexi Pres complaining about “all the illegal guns found at mexican crime scenes” were being bought in the US and sent to Mexico? But when the true origin of the guns was determined, they really came from other central and south american countries, many stolen (sold?) from the military in those countries.

So oBama and his minions hatched the fast and furious to “prove” america was responsible for all the guns in mexico, so we need more control and stricter GUN CONTROL over US citizens.

This has Chicago style politics written all over it, and oBama absolutely knew about it from the start, he ordered it done.

there is no doubt in my mind that Walsh is right and that; furthermore, had the truth not come out, Obama would have used this bogus gun data to justify sweeping anti-second amendment legislation WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE that the data was created by Eric Holder. It’s time to start dangling prison sentences in front of people so we can find out exactly who knew what and when they knew it.

Absolutely agree, he knew about it and probably helped plan it.

The anti-gun aspects are just icing ~ the intent was obviously to provide guns to their friends in the drug cartels.

I see no reason to let them off the hook.

We must make arrangements to send them to Mexico for trial the second the Republican President takes office.

Support for gun control? More like gun banning. Typical of the Hill to misidentify the true objective.

“..we need to keep a tighter lid on arms and guns in America that may be leaving the country.”

Interesting statement. He said “we need..”

And, by “we,” would he mean BATFE? But wait, aren’t they the guys who walked the guns to the cartels?

Of course, he’s just referring to many more new laws. But, again, who will be enforcing those gun laws? And, again, BATFE?
