Eric Holder is threatened with contempt of congress as he continues to withhold documents pertaining to the Mexican gun smuggling scandal known as Fast and Furious which has led to the death of one American and many Mexicans.

It made no sense from a legal, law-enforcement or national security point of view. It bore all the marks of a White House political operation to sway U.S. public opinion in favor of gun control as the bodies piled up.

Issa wrote that Holder and the DOJ are “actively engaged in a cover-up” of activities related to Operation Fast and Furious, a scandal-plagued and ill-fated “gunwalking” program designed to track firearms from U.S. gun shops to drug cartels in Mexico. The operation used “straw purchasers” who purposely — and with government permission — bought guns with the unlawful intention of moving them across the border. – The Daily Caller

Rep. Darrell Issa implies that the administration has been protecting GM’s high profile Volt after battery fires show real safety concerns. Obama pushed the Volt as part of his green dream for America. The Volt has been shown to be costing US taxpayers $24,000 per car sold.

Grandiosity, denial, and revisionism are all noted indulgences of the political breed. That’s why we should always be skeptical of their words and pity the partisan lemmings who mindlessly parrot their rhetoric.

Obama administration is selectively choosing which parts of the National Voter Registration Act to enforce, in order to expand the voter rolls in every way possible. – The Daily Caller

Under the various forms of corporatism tried by fascist and socialist regimes, by contrast, someone else – generally a state official – gets to allocate the goodies, guaranteeing favouritism and corruption. – MEP Daniel Hannan

The president is trying to sell the American taxpayer a false bill of goods. The president’s proposal is also an attempt to counter the perception – an accurate one – that the administration’s policies are detrimental to commerce.
