“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

"Fast & Furious" rapidly infuriating Obama Administration

If you haven't heard about "Fast & Furious", or "Operation Gunwalker", start reading up on it (just don't turn to ABC, NBC, CNN, etc; only CBS and Fox are covering it, as well as most INTERNET news sites).  I'll just point out two astonishing stories that came out today:
"CBS journalist: White House, DOJ officials yelled at me over Fast & Furious reporting"
Via Laura Ingraham’s producer Matt Wolking, vivid proof that it’s not true that “the media” is ignoring Fast & Furious. Most of the media is, but Sharyl Attkisson at CBS has been filing scoops damned near every day, including last night’s bombshell that briefings were sent to Holder as early as July 2010. Ingraham asked her about that in the clip you’re about to hear. Attkisson’s reply:
I’m certainly not the one to make the case for DOJ and White House about what I’m doing wrong. They will tell you that I’m the only reporter–as they told me–that is not reasonable. They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I’m the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I’m unfair and biased by pursuing it.
 "House GOP calls for special prosecutor to probe Holder on perjury allegation"
In a letter to President Obama today, House Judiciary Chair Lamar Smith (R-TX) requested a special prosecutor to investigate the Attorney General for perjury, explaining in detail how false Holder’s May 3rd testimony that he had only recently heard of Operation Fast and Furious appears to be...
The Obama Administration is corrupt, and this is but one example of that.  Representative Issa and other members of the House are doing an excellent job in putting a light on this particular problem.
