2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Dark Sage]

In fact, why don't you let me spell it out for you...

When Mr. Obama invoked Executive Privledge, that should have been the end of it. The House had NO right to hold Holder in contempt, and by doing so, they DEFIED Obama's Executive Privledge. If anyone committed a criminal action here, it's Issa.

"An American citizen and 300 Mexicans died because of this". That is a tragedy, but that oft-quoted statement would have more merit if Issa and the rest of the House GOP cared one bit about the victims. They... do... NOT. This whole thing is a political show meant to discredit the President and make him look bad, which ties into the overall GOP goal for the past three years: Make the President look bad so that he is voted out of office in 2012.

And the GOP House leadership fails to realize that by following this goal and wasting time and taxpayer money on projects that have no hope of reaching completion, their own approval rating is plummeting, and the public view of them is that of two-hundred drunken clowns with bees in their underpants.

The GOP and their supports are under the sad impression that Obama isn't a "real" President, and that's just horrible. I was no fan of G.W. Bush, but I never ONCE joined the popular misconception that he had stolen the election from Gore. Obama was duly elected into the office of President, and when he asserts the authority that is bestowed upon him by that office, Congress either likes it or lumps it!

If they don't like it, they can appoint a special prosecutor if they want... But given the $60 million failure that was the Starr Report, I wouldn't recommend it.

There, I said it. I feel better.

Edit: And one more thing...

If you were to study the Fast and Furious program, you'd learn that it was started in 2006. Obama wasn't even President then, and its failure was not Holder's fault.
