It’s Boooosh’s fault.

(That’s why he won’t turn over documents.)

Methinks “It’s Bush’s fault” is the new “Polly want a cracker.”

I’m sure every time someone like SJ-L says it, that “cracker” part is on her mind …

If the withheld docs pointed to Bush and his minions (we all remember Bush, the president who was NOT a conservative) Holder would have delivered them by limousine the moment the congressional subpoena was delivered.

As I recall, on the day that Obama took office he went through every last executive order that Bush had put in place along with dozens of programs/authorizations put in place in the Bush administration and obliterated every single one that he did not agree with. Among those were the already approved construction of a new coal-fired power plant for the Navajo reservation, where most of the reservation is without electricity.

If indeed The None chose to continue the program then on his own head be the consequences. He has had 3.5 years to change, overrule or discontinue any regulations or actions that he did not agree with.

Nother link to this video, with commentary: Wide Receiver was distinctly different from Fast & Furious, F&F. F&F involved, essentially, decisions to selectively fail to enforce our laws, with no follow-up.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/sheila-jackson-lee-blames-bush-for-fast-and-furious/article/2500137

Wide Receiver actually involved not gun-walking but controlled delivery. Unlike gun-walking, which seems (for good reason) to have been unheard of until Fast & Furious, controlled delivery is a very common law enforcement tactic.
…
To the contrary, Fast & Furious involved uncontrolled deliveries — of thousands of weapons. It was an utterly heedless program in which the feds allowed these guns to be sold to straw purchasers — often leaning on reluctant gun dealers to make the sales. The straw purchasers were not followed by close physical surveillance; they were freely permitted to bulk transfer the guns to, among others, Mexican drug gangs and other violent criminals — with no agents on hand to swoop in, make arrests, and grab the firearms. The inevitable result of this was that the guns have been used (and will continue to be used) in many crimes, including the murder of Brian Terry, a U.S. border patrol agent.

Bozo the Clone commented:

If Rep. Lee is moved to make a F&F-related comment — however stupid, it’s because she’s trying to help with damage control. This in turn means that the Democrats are taking this seriously and don’t think they can count on the MSM to bury this for much longer.

re: #19 June 20, 2012 at 2:17 pm bg

By the time Cornyn was done drawing this stark contrast between Wide Receiver and Fast & Furious, Holder was reduced to conceding, “I’m not trying to equate the two.” That is big of him given that the two cannot be equated. But the attorney general seemed fine with the effort to equate them — to make them one and the same — when it was Schumer asking the questions. Expect the effort to continue. “Bush did it” may be a tired defense, and in this instance a preposterous one, but it’s the one the Democratic base loves to hear.
