Of all the myriad scandals of the Obama administration, there is one, largely ignored by the mainstream media, that could actually be its worst.
That scandal is the operation run from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, under the Justice Department, known as “Fast and Furious,” through which the federal government actually encouraged and even ordered American gun shops to sell guns — against the store owners’ better judgment — to “straw” purchasers who were funneling guns to Mexican drug gangs while the ATF sat back and watched and did nothing.

It is up to "We The People" to help those in government who are trying to help America....and get rid of crooks and departments that feel they are above the law.
Might be?
Hell, I’ve lost count of the scandals in this person’s administration.
Corrupt isn’t even remotely a strong enough word.
He’s Evil.
Fast & Furious is already forgotten by the majority of Americans - like David Koresh and Monica Lewinski, yesterday’s news.
Hiltler was smart enough to know that you could burn the Reichstag and blame it on the communists, start a war of aggression with Poland and blame it on the Pole’s, systematically murder all the Jewish people in your country and confiscate their property, and commit any number of other unfathomable evils...
AS LONG AS YOU CONTROL THE PRESS.
Aside from eligibility and the massive cover-up, there is The Looting of America (with billions, if not a trillion dollars laundered and out of here, corporate takeovers and stockholder robbery for fun and profit, even the question of overseas campaign contributions when he ran last time, not to mention the destabilization of relatively benign dictatorships (in their then current behaviours) in North Africa using the US Military as a tool to help the Muslim Brotherhood gain power in the region. The list is long, and the body count is far from complete.
It is a huge scandal, but like the tree falling in the forest and no one is there to hear, there is NO sound...
Media has not only ignored it, but has tried to cover it up, whitewash it, rationalize it away, make it a nothing, falsely claim there was no government-wide plot to seize guns or promote gun control, etc.
What WE (NRA mainly) have to do is put together and launch our own media blitz, like the so-called Karl Rove PAC, and tell the whole sordid story. It has been described well by a Katie Pavlich who has a book out on it already.
We cannot wait for the media to do it’s job. It will not do it. In fact it will fight our attempt to get the truth out.
I’d say second worst, maybe. Although stuff like funding Muslim terrorists and selling us out to Putin are also high on the list.
But the worst scandal is that he is a gay, baby-killing, Communist, illegal alien who preens over a forged on-line COLB posted at the White House web site after sending out his agents to remove all his real records from their files.

This is why Clinton skated on his crimes as well.
If Sheriff Joe had an authentic long form Kenyan BC for Obama, the press would call it fake, and it would be soon forgotten like Koresh and Lewinsky.
MIGHT!?
Hundreds of people dead (US and Mexican) because of Obama’s and Holder’s attempt, in violation of their oaths, to subvert the Constitution?
No “might” about it.
Agreed! We are each responsible to do what we can.
It would certainly be a good idea to reestablish a free press, as the founders intended, though.
Internet helps, but the college students BHO spoke to in Boca Raton probably get their news from Jon Stewart and MTV. I would love to see a vehicle which puts truth right in their faces, VISUALLY, the way the secular world has promoted their values and views. Right now a seeker can learn a lot, but the masses are spoon fed the Great Lie.
Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow. Share. Trade or Sell Homegrown Food.
Imagine that. You and your entire family could be dragged away to FEMA Camps against your will. Imprisoned without trial. For merely growing your own vegetables. Or executed under Executive Order by NATO or UN Troops or thugs wearing black uniforms with esoteric military patches on them. All based on illegal and Unconstitutional executive orders from the corrupt usurper in charge.
Insanity Prevails Today !
Yeah...the Republicans really showed the Obama administration. {sarcasm} A fairly clear cut case and nothing was done about it. Unfortunately, not unexpected.
Please understand that John Boehner also opposes any serious investigation of Fast and Furious. And until any Congressional investigation seriously investigates this scandal and comes up with hard email evidence, nothing will come of this.
Boehner is letting Holder get away with his (Holder's) stonewalling. Holder should be impeached.
Nevertheless, I believe that Obama and Holder purposefully kept themselves out of the formal FnF information loop, so that they could plead plausible deniability, yet these two criminals knew exactly what was going on, all the time. This was Obama's and Holder's creation, in my opinion.
Even if Holder is some how, some way implicated, Obama will pardon him.
Try your best to control your blood pressure, in all of this injustice. However, God will hold these two miscreants accountable, of that you can be assured.
Face it:
It only took about 2 weeks to generate a VERY public Congressional hearing for the GSA members who spent +$800k throwing a party for themselves. Congress is moving SWIFTLY to have criminal charges brought forward and it looks like that will happen very soon. The media is all over it.
This shows and proves that ACTION can be taken if anyone in Government and/or the media actually cares.
Fast and Furious? A much, much bigger scandal with years of testimony and hearings and... nothing.
It’s Waco, Fellas. And nothing is going to happen to anyone involved. Nothing.
I hope I’m wrong and I’m still writing my Congressman - But I’m not wrong.
They are dragging this out in the hopes that Obama will get defeated and then they’ll just sweep it under the rug. Nobody has the balls to go after a “retired” President anyway.
“Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow. Share. Trade or Sell Homegrown Food.”
Not exactly true. The original bill was almost that bad. But the final bill did not go this far.
BUT the final bill HR2751 is still a horror, passed in stealth late at night at the end of the Lame Duck Session.
I watched this bill from it’s beginning over a span of many years.
They tried every way to hide their vote on this horrible bill, both Dems and Republicans.
When it passed the only place you could find the words of the bill was in the General Printing Office database.
And YES, we need to throw all the bums out.

Can you imagine what the MSM would do to a REPUBLICAN
with this record? (or lack of it, thereof)
Do not miss this book!
” If Sheriff Joe had an authentic long form Kenyan BC for Obama, the press would call it fake, and it would be soon forgotten like Koresh and Lewinsky.”
By the end of the year....every American will know who Sheriff Joe is.
