The two most important words in the current Obama administration scandal aren’t “Fast” or “Furious.” They are “Brian Terry.”
In December 2010, Brian Terry — a former Marine and police officer turned Border Patrol agent — was working in Arizona, 11 miles from the Mexican border. He was killed in a gunfight with Mexican drug runners, and two of the AK-47s found at the scene were linked to a then-unknown program of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms called “Operation Fast and Furious.”
The name is perfect, because the president wants you furious — and fast.
He wants you focused on those mean ol’ House Republicans who, according to Department of Justice consultant Robert Raben, are just “doing the bidding of the National Rifle Association.” Obama wants you debating Bush-era gun programs vs. his own, the limits of presidential privilege — anything except the fact that yesterday brought us the highest four-week average of initial jobless claims for the year.
For Team Obama, this story is all about politics.

I am sure nothing will happen to Holder, because I believe there are too many people who have been bought, bribed, blackmailed or threatened and more on the list. If this statement is not true this illegal, phony, lying POTUS would not be in office.
I knew nothing would happen to Holder
Bush did not have a gun running program.
Oh yes, lets keep letting the major media outlets (ABC NBC CBS) showing in American homes to spend a major part of the news tonight to show us suffering from the heat waves, lets show dogs and children getting wet and cool and lets doctors remind us what to do to avoid discomfort…and oh just to be relevant lets us show the President once again quickly explaining why he is hiding records for the good of America and then let’s say good night folks before we show how our President is guilty of murder of one of our middle class Americans just doing his job…who just got in the way of a man who believes he is doing what is good for America – His view of what is good for America – whether we like it or not. “It’s all good folks, move on, there is nothing to see here”….Let us pray and vote.
