Tremendous job of informing everyone about things they never knew or had forgotten. Everything the lying Obama and Holder said and did MUST be remembered.

At least we don't have Candy Crowley to kick around anymore.

Excellent: Those of us who did not buy the Benghazi fish story didn’t believe Fast and Furious either. In truth, we knew Obama was as phony as a three dollar bill from day one. There were so many CYA moments between Obama and Madam Secretary of State we couldn’t keep count and more became obvious in the closing days and after they left office.

As far as I’m concerned, “It ain’t over yet” and it won’t be until those two are among the others that put America on the verge of destruction behind bars.

I'm thinking of the expression "As _____ as a three-dollar bill," but the missing word isn't "phony."

Jack, thank you for putting this under a spotlight. The F&F details are still as sobering & sickening today as when they first came to light. It was an assault on the first Amendment—a set of deliberate decisions for which honorable media figures were sidelined. They can never be compensated for the prestige taken from them but, in time, nature has had a way of righting wrongs.

An important reminder of a long forgotten and serious scandal for President Obama. Great piece of journalism by Jack! The Fast and the Furious Scandal had it been taken more seriously could’ve led to Eric Holder resigning and possibly facing prison time and President Obama losing the 2012 election to Mitt Romney. The ATF under the Obama administration let gun buyers in Arizona sell guns to sellers connected to the Mexican cartels. The idea was to trace those weapons and arrest those who got them. But the Obama administration and ATF screwed up and didn’t follow up. The guns got into the hands of the cartels and Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and three hundred Mexicans were killed. There should be a full on investigation into the incident. Everyone involved should’ve been charged and Eric Holder should’ve been forced to resign and Barack Obama should’ve been forced to issue an official apology to the Terry family and Mexico and pay all the victim’s families reparations. Yes, Obama and Holder in fact did know what was going on and they lied about. Obama might well have been denied reelection and Mitt Romney might have become the 45th President of the United States. The Fast and the Furious Scandal was one of the low points of the Obama administration.

Oh by the way, Obama was the deporter in chief. So don’t bag on Trump for doing what Obama did in even greater numbers. CNN fawned over ICE under Obama arresting a hardened illegal immigrant criminal never mind they accidentally arrested his brother. Returning to the above topic, Sharyl Attkinson fearlessly exposed Fast and the Furious. As a result, her career in media was derailed forever. Jorge Ramos (a hack who no one with a brain would ever call a journalist) went easy on Obama. The press lionizes Barack Obama and acts like his presidency was a model one and that he is on par with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. You’d think the guy was Jesus with how they slobber him with praise! I bet this is the prayer every CNN reporter says when they wake-up every morning: praise be to St. Obama, Barack of Chicago! He is the lord thy God hallowed be his name!

Never mind “St. Obama” bombed eight countries, turned Libya into a failed state, opened the door for ISIL to takeover Iraq, kissed up to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, got duped by Iran, didn’t intervene in Syria quickly enough, got several servicemen at Benghazi killed, tried six ways from Sunday to prosecute Julian Assange, tried to put Edward Snowden in prison, did drone strikes that accidentally killed civilians, was Yemen children’s worst nightmare, let biological men use women’s bathrooms, committed Social Security fraud, lied about his relationship with leftist terrorist Bill Ayers, let the CIA propagandize Americans, and lectured Israel while kissing up to the Palestinian Authority. But other than that, sure he was a model President after Thomas Jefferson’s own heart.

You want a model President? How about Ronald Reagan or George H.W. Bush? Reagan restored American patriotism, rebuilt our armed forces, signed the IMF Treaty with the USSR, started our alliance with Israel, signed the Montreal Protocol, signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, made MLK Day a national holiday, did tax cuts that put money in middle class folks’ pockets, reauthorized the Voting Rights Act, expanded the Fair Housing bill, appointed the first woman to the Supreme Court, liberated Grenada, expanded the black middle class, shrunk unemployment for black and Latino youth to what were at that time record lows, did the Immigration Reform and Control Act, reformed Social Security, and was a master political operator and communicator. Bush Sr. won the Gulf War, liberated Panama, got a reunified Germany into NATO, led us brilliantly through the of the Cold War, signed the ADA and Civil Rights Act of 1991, signed the Ryan White CARES Act, appointed the great Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, signed the Hate Crimes Statistics Act which made sexual orientation as a protected category for the first time, and renewed the Clean Air Act. Or how about Donald Trump? 😉 Obama didn’t bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities into dust, end eight wars, bring down crime dramatically, bring the Israeli hostages home, feed the people of Gaza, or bomb the Houthis into submission. Trump did!

So many of our problems started with Obama. The press was afraid to touch him and we all know why.

“Those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws" —Obama

Why he warned this:

"Is it Safe to Come Out Now"? Barry and his boys & girls certainly thinks so. Barry is speaking 'Truth to Power' and taking this moment to expose President Trump and his War cabinet for the Nazi's that they are.

Barry took 'Plausible Deniability' to a whole new level with Fast and Furious .

Barack and Eric Holder told their 'Palace Guard' "Keep your swords in your scabbards, no one will need to do the Noble thing and Fall on their Sword to make this go away'

The 'Boomer from Jersey' keeps 'telling it like it is'. Another great article Jack.
