Obama throws truth under the bus on a daily basis |
(ABC News) -- Asked about the Fast and Furious program at the Univision forum on
Thursday, President Obama falsely claimed that the program began under
President George W. Bush.
"I think it's important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious
program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous
administration," the president said. "When Eric Holder found out about
it, he discontinued it. We assigned a inspector general to do a thorough
report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did
not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did
initiate this were held accountable."
In actuality, the Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency.
Previous programs involving ATF agents allowing guns to "walk" across
the border so as to trace them were run during the Bush presidency, but
not this particular "field-initiated program."
White House officials did not respond to a request for comment after the falsehood was pointed out to them.
It is incomprehensible to me now, but in general, the usefulness and importance is overwhelming. Nice information, many recognition to the author.
