I find it hard to believe people have to consider the choice between Obama and Romney. What I mean is how could someone who voted for Obama even consider voting for Romney? "Since Obama didn't deliver all his campaign promises, I guess we should try letting the rich people be the key to the future?" Don't they realize that if the GOP gets the whole thing it will be like Bush on steroids? They will fundamentally change EVERYTHING, skew it all toward the 1% and it will take decades to fix the mess they will make. And lots of people will die as a result.
Bobby Jindal is right about one thing, the American voter, one of being me, is smart.
As a smart voter I know that Jindal's words are straight up lies! President Obama is not only a fine speaker, he has done an amazing job in the face of outright obstruction to every effort and endeavor to help America recovery from the disastrous and failed republican policies!
I would never vote for any republican ever in my whole life! I use to consider it on the local level, but after watching the way they have treated President Obama -NEVER again!
Straight democratic votes~Straight down the line!
Obama/Biden 2012 For Sure
By all means let's do an investigation into the origins of 'Fast and Furious". The Bush administration started this program-they are responsible for the kids dying on the streets of Mexico!
The Obama administration ENDED the program! That is a fact! Any heads that need to roll would be the heads of Bush/Cheney.
This irresponsible attempt to use congress in attacking Eric Holder for the good efforts he has made and is making in addressing voter suppression just makes the republicans look even more sinister and vile than ever before.
Attorney General Eric Holder is more decent and responsible than any republican member of congress ~period!
Keep up the good job Mr. Holder and President Obama
Obama/Biden 2012
I got this information on a blog yesterday. Perphaps it explains the difference between a legitimate operation and a unlawful political gamble:
With Pres. GW Bush,
1-We had a controlled gun running operation, that had the cooperation of the Mexican government.
2- No US Agents were killed.
3- The ATF/ICE and the Mexican government actually caught many criminals.
4- ALL THE GUNS INVOLVED WERE RECOVERED.
With Comrade Obama,
1-We had an out-of-control gun-running scheme to try to make our 2nd Amendment to the Constitution null and void, by framing legal Gun dealers with false charges of selling guns to persons who were'nt allowed to have them, even though Comrade Obama's Justice Department was orchestrating it.
2-The Comrade Obama/Eric Holder-run operation didn't cooperate with the Mexican government. Mexico knew nothing about it.
3-Two of our agents, ATF Agent Brian Terry and ICE Agent Jaime Zapata were murdered with the guns found at the scene traced to having been sold by the Comrade Obama/Holder gang.
4- Mexico estimated that at least 300 Mexican citizens were murdered as a direct result of Comrade Obama's and Eric Holders DOJ/ATF Fast and Furious operation.
Completely false facts. Although no American Agents were killed the rest is wrong. This is the problem with getting your facts from "bloggers." Watch this. Frosty the Snowman just landed on the White House Lawn in a flying Saucer. Uh Oh you better rush over to the next "Morning Joe Blog" and quote me!
Your buddy, "Adolph" whoever since were playing the game of name calling (although I don't go to the extreme of calling our Commander-in Chief an enemy of the state or offering zero respect like the Republican Party members do), is failing to realize or mention that the "Fast and Furious" program was actually went under three different program names during the Bush Administration. Convenient huh? Additionally the Bush Administration claimed executive privilege the second the Republican Congress began investigating Fast and Furious most likely under advisement from Darrell (I call him Darrell because the Congressman from Ca refers to the President as Barack another example of the complete and total lack of respect from the Republican Party), so we'll never know the whole truth will we?
Just to be clear the gunwalking programs under Bush were named Wide Receiver I and Wide Receiver II where hundreds of weapons went missing and hundreds of Mexicans were killed. Why? Because the tracking devices being placed inside the guns were literally being purchased at Radio Shack and the batteries were going dead within a couple of days at which time the ATF were losing track of hundreds of weapons. The ATF was aware of this for YEARS (long before Obama became President and Holder became AG), but simply went on with the program FOR YEARS and Obama and Holder inherited this ridiculous program from Bush. Again why? Because Bush and crew were more interested in selling guns out of Arizona than they were with stopping drug gangs in Mexico or with stopping the deaths of Mexican citizens. Whats the lesson here? Dissolve the ATF! Legalize and tax drugs! Freeze the pension and healthcare of Congressmen who insist on playing politics instead of passing ANY job legislation at all (which is what they ran on in 2010 right)?
What's wrong bud? No response? Perhaps I should let you in on some more facts. The Agent that was killed were in a battle with multiple drug dealers and the bullets that killed him was far too damaged to know what guns they came from. So we don't know if they came from guns that we provided AT ALL! That's why the IG is investigating with full cooperation of Holder and Obama as we speak! This conspiracy theory you speak of above as well as the Congressional investigation is a creation of right wing wingnuts and the NRA. Get a life loser!
