“pfeiffer44 says House GOP should work with Presd Obama “to create more jobs, not more political theater.”

Issue an executive order rescinding Obamacare, extend the Bush tax cuts permanently and the available jobs will explode.

They will do or say absolutely anything to get out from under this one but it’s not going to work. By asserting executive privelege to protect Holder, Obama has put himself on the hook for it.

Here’s a better link. Obama KNEW about F & F. He signed the stimulus package that funded it!!!! I sent this to Drudge. Hope he puts it up to remind everyone.

Americans shouldn’t be allowed to have guns. Only Mexican drug gangs and they should be supplied by the US govmnt.

Did our government provide the ammo too? Hundreds of millions of rounds were purchased. Why not release the documents zer0 / holder? Why does the lamestream media not care? Why do the democRATs not care. People have died! Once upon a time, if it bled, it led.

"...Given the economic challenges facing the country, we believe that House Republicans should work with the rest of Congress and the President to create more jobs, not more political theater."

Meanwhile, Congress has taken up the pressing issue of federally regulating professional boxing. Don't see the WH saying much about that, now do we?

...biggest story since Monica

I’m thinking Watergate. In any case, to borrow a term from the Democrats pushing THAT agenda, the whole thing, at minimum, gives ‘the appearance of impropriety’.

And where are the rising stars of the media? Are there no young turks with the motivation to do the kind of investigative journalism to get to the bottom of this and make a name for themselves? Is the Obama Media Machine THAT powerful?

Election year fishing expedition?

It didn't start out in an election year. It was dragged out into an election year.

In fact, the ones doing the bristling are BLACK, virtually all of them, rising to obliviously protect another black man

And these blacks were voted in by other than whom? Color of skin and to hell with character.

Really? They're going to go with the "political theater" defense. Good luck with that.

YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT

People have been murdered in that theater and the White House is complicit.

What you said!

You declare executive privilege to protect yourself from political theatre? Really?

This reminds me of the horrible left-wing POS movie released while Clinton was in office.. When faced with a potential :scandal” the president didn’t want to have to explain himself, claiming it was nobodies business and the retort was “With all due respect, sir, the American people have a funny way of deciding on their own what is and what is not their business”

As much as I want to say this is nothing but arrogance on Obama’s part, he simply doesn’t have the confidence Clinton used to have. This is Obama running scared. His personality is to mock things he is afraid of. It is his ‘tell’.

They can try. Those who bought their spin were lost anyway.

We only need to stand fast and true. True independents (are there any left?) will see the differece.

As I said, the media folks are deeply conflicted.

98% desperately want to see Emperor Baraq maintain his position in the pantheon of the gods.

One can ascertain, the democRATs and the lamestream media has no interest in people who lost their lives by the F&F program being run out of our nation's White House and Department of Justice. Nixon must be spinning in his grave!

A vote (time or day) for contempt has not been determined.

Watch out for the cornered rat O’Bastard to begin his scorched earth tactics earlier than November. Like right now.
