(CNSNews.com) – “If I were the president of the United States, I would find a way for Eric Holder to step down, and it would be characterized as a firing,” Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) told Fox News on Thursday.
King suggested it would be better for President Obama to fire Attorney General Holder rather than let the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal blow up in Obama’s face right before the election:
“And as more of this unfolds – and I think there is substantially more – you remember that September 19 is kind of the date that bad things happen before elections,” King said.
“I don’t think that (Rep.) Darrell Issa is planning a date like that…but as this moves forward, and I’m the president of the United States, I’d be very worried that this comes to a crescendo sometime before September 19 of this year.
“For those reasons, if I were the president, I would remove Eric Holder from the target zone here – put somebody else in who’s determined to clean this up. I would dump all this information out in the public and just come clean and put it behind me,” King said. “That’s what any responsible public official would do.”

I used to believe that in order to become a politician, one has to have a certain level of intelligence.. NOT SO — any Moron who is adept at lying can make it..
If I were a CONgressman I would remove the entire Obama Regime and end all of our problems. They are holding office illegally led by the ineligible One. Nothing like showing all your cards there, Rep. King.
Just wondering,If some of those guns were used to commit crimes on this side of the border can’t we at least file charges againist this adminstration as accessories?A private citizen who did this would be guilty of accessory to murder!I wonder if Eric or the Director have any Hispanic or Relatives in Mexico?Plan on going to Mexico any time soon Eric? Please do so soon, I’m sure the families of those some300 who have already died and the law inforcement officers would love to welcome you with open arms!Also I’m sure the seceret service will have your back,if there not busy visiting the whorehouses?
Obama will never get rid of Holder. He has too much to loose. Holder is aiding Obama’s Socialist agenda by selective law enforcement. He, along with Obama has violated his oath of office, but not ONE politician will take them to task. When you want a job done correctly you have to do it yourself. I have decided to assist like minded individuals who want them both to go way to do just that. We will commence on the 6th of November.
