Finally.


Via Katie Pavlich, that’s not the only bad news here for Eric Holder and Barack Obama. Not only does Jon Stewart tell an audience inclined towards supporting Obama in November exactly why Operation Fast and Furious was so important to investigate, he also explains that the Obama administration has been refusing to cooperate with subpoenas, giving false information to Congress, and generally stalling for the last several months. On top of that, Stewart then skewers the same Democrats who blasted George Bush in 2007 for hypocrisy in defending Obama’s executive privilege claim in 2012. That’s a hell of a lot more information than NBC provided its viewers this week, that’s for sure:

This ploy by Obunco is so obvious even the blind people see it. He is still slipping on his own watermelon seeds too. This isn't over with yet.

I must admit that I really do not understand this. One would think that the Obama administration would be chaffing at the bit over this chance to further discredit the Bush administration as well as deflect attention from the dismal state of the US economy. The only logical explanation seems to be that all presidents seem to guard what they consider presidential prerogatives no matter what the situation.

Under the Bush administration, the concept was studied, BUT IT WAS NEVER IMPLEMENTED. There is a HUGE difference between studying something like this, and actually DOING something like this.

Under Obama, it was actually done, and then they lied about it and covered it up. Just as with Nixon, it's not the original event that is the problem, it is the coverup that becomes illegal.
