What is Obama hiding now?
 
Like his bud Eric Holder, guess he's not so keen on getting to the bottom of Fast-n-Furious... at least before the election. What are they hiding now?

You must be referring to his electing today to exercise "executive privilege" to not have requested documents released to the investigators.

Obama, his WH spinners and blindly loyal supporters will no doubt point out to us how he is doing something good for America by concealing now more information.

I can't wait to see/hear how this decision to withhold information gets sanitized.

He railed against Bush for executive privilege while a senator...I mean he was insulting about it. He talked about how he does not get how anyone can do that, of course that is bunk....but how we need total transparency and honesty.

This is a man who does this all the time over and over......I beg the Republicans to have the ^@##! to make character a central issue of this campaign but I don't think they have the nerve !

Let me go ahead and add his quote for the record.

“There’s been a tendency on the part this administration to try to hide behind executive privilege every time there’s something a little shaky that’s taking place,” Obama said, referring to the Bush administration. “And I think that the administration would be better served by coming clean on this.”

He is from Chicago, What did you expect. He is only doing what he was bred for.

This is yet another reason we need him to be unemployed. He is a bad man doing bad things to our country. He always has a reason why when he does something it was for a good reason and is all part of the plan.
I don't want his plan and in context like Rush got hammered for "I want him to fail" when it comes to his plan.

They have to be hiding something. There is no up side to blocking this info.

This was President Obama's first use of "Executive Privilige" since being elected three and a half years ago, compared to George W Bush's six time, Bill Clinton's 14 times and Ronald Reagan's 20 plus times. FYI

Did any of those folks make fun of their predecessor and make fun of the actual process of executive privilege ? You always seems to forget what this man says before he does things ! He used this issue as a campaign point !

The Obama administration sends guns over the border to Mexico where they end up killing scores of Mexican citizens and a US Border Patrol Agent and now Obama is helping to cover it up? Didn’t' he just recently pander to the Hispanic vote by basically giving the Hispanic children amnesty (apparently 30 years old is still considered a child by the left)? Which is it Mr. President, amnesty or assault riffles for Mexican citizens?

Or…. Possibly were they working to create a violent enough situation across the border where he could ram through one of the lefts favorites causes… (besides aborting babies of course) a ban on assault riffles?

The left seems to be good at doctoring things to create situations in their favor. Maybe Holder should have enlisted MSNBC to help. Nah, they're no good at that either.

I think in respects to Fast and Furious the administration was after sheriff Joe but then you know how it goes. They didnt get what they wanted

These republican shenanigans that are being conducted today by Congressman Darrel Issa (R-CA) will just outrage and unite the democratic base. The house will vote to censure Attorney General Eric Holder, the case will go to court and will take two years to be heard. Keep up the good work republicans. Congress' approval rating can't go much lower.

I assume since you speak with such authority, you are watching CPAN3 where the hearing is being telecast live....you must be as you seem to talk like you know what you are talking about !!!!

Daniel Issa is just the ringmaster of the 3-ring circus he tries to tell people is serious business. He said after the Repubs became majority in house he would have a hearing a day. Why? Witch hunts. Guise of activity while the House does nothing. It's a sham and a shame....alliteration. :yuck:

You are also actually watching the hearing I suppose or how could you make comments on the subject with NO FACTS

He inadvertently blamed Bush !!!!!!!

"In a second major retraction over its version of the the gun-walking scandal, the Justice Department has retracted Attorney General Eric Holder's charge in a hearing last week that his Bush administration predecessor had been briefed on the affair.

In a memo just released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Iowa senator reveals that Holder also didn't apologize to former Attorney General Michael Mukasey for dragging him into the Fast & Furious scandal that is headed for a major legal clash and likely contempt of Congress charge against Holder.

According to Grassley's memo, Justice said that Holder "inadvertently" made the charge against Mukasey in a hearing."
