Obama is a Criminal President.

Obama's "Fast & Furious" scheme KILLED a US Agent and 100's of innocent Mexican citizens.


Obama should be tried and imprisoned.

Parents of slain border agent Brian Terry blast Obama's executive privilege move


By Olivier Knox
June 20, 2012

The parents of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry denounced President Barack Obama for invoking executive privilege on Wednesday to keep documents related to the failed "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling investigations from his Republican critics in Congress.

"Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to fully disclose the documents associated with Operation Fast and Furious and President Obama's assertion of executive privilege serves to compound this tragedy," Josephine Terry and Kent Terry, Sr., said in a written statement released by family attorney Pat McGroder.

Two of the guns lost in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms operation were recovered at the scene of Terry's killing in December 2010 near the southern U.S. border. "Fast and Furious" had aimed to track the flow of guns from the U.S. to drug cartels in Mexico, but agents lost track of hundreds of the firearms.

Obama Denounces Those Who “Hide Behind Executive Privilege”

Jun 20 2012

Feeling the heat from the congressional investigation into his administration’s Mexican gunrunning operation, Barack Hussein Obama is now using executive privilege to help Eric Holder withhold incriminating documents. Yet back when Obama et al. were trying to criminalize W’s firing of some Demorrhoid attorneys, the Moonbat Messiah didn’t think much of those who “hide behind executive privilege”:

Bush is White, and President Obama got Osama bin Laden - so the racist right-wing tea-baggers are really out for blood.

The RINOs hardly said a peep:

In December 2001, President Bush invoked executive privilege in response to a subpoena from congressional investigators seeking deliberative DOJ communications related to both the FBI's use of organized crime informants and President Clinton's fundraising efforts. The New York Times reported:

President Bush invoked executive privilege today for the first time in his administration to block a Congressional committee trying to review documents about a decades-long scandal involving F.B.I. misuse of mob informants in Boston. His order also denied the committee access to internal Justice Department deliberations about President Bill Clinton's fund-raising tactics.

A United Press International report on Bush's decision says that the executive privilege claim applied to "17 sets of documents related to the FBI investigations and informants" as well as "a set of documents related to the decision not to pursue an independent counsel to investigate Clinton-era campaign finance violations."

In testimony before Congress, Justice Department criminal division chief of staff Michael Horowitz made clear that the documents in question were deliberative DOJ documents, not documents pertaining to the president or the White House:

Let me stress at the outset that the department fully understand that the committee's interest in these documents is based upon its concern about the integrity of the department's actions in prosecuting or declining to prosecute particular individuals. We all want to be sure that such decisions are based upon the evidence in the law, free from political and other improper influences. Indeed, it is for that very reason, to protect the integrity of federal prosecutive decisions, that the attorney general, supported by the president, has declined to produce the internal deliberative memoranda you seek.

During the same hearing, Horowitz explained that in lieu of providing the internal DOJ deliberative documents, the Justice Department would be willing to provide briefings on those documents - the same offer Attorney General Eric Holder says Oversight chair Darrell Issa rejected in favor of seeking to hold him in contempt of Congress.

Your idiotic bullshit doesn't play well among reasonable people, Larfing Lardass.

Everything he wants done is right.

And what did Republicans say when Bush, Reagan, and Nixon claimed executive privilege? Their silence was deafening.

Phony outrage was at it's height fromm 2000-08. Much of it really funny!

You can't use that privilege to protect wrongdoing Obama is just trying to hide his wrong doings.

Obama's use of executive privilege is an illegal attempt to avoid responsibility for the Obama justice department's misconduct.

Just finished watching Rubio's interview on TV regarding illegal immigration. So now it seems Rich Money and Rubio are moving more towards the left supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants under certain circumstances.

Like I said before and which the the RINO's keep living in denial:

America IS Left of Center

It's not the same, but you knew that. He is hidding this just like all his other records. It's got to be pretty bad to raise this kind of stink this close to the election.
