ATF Manager: White House Knew About ‘Fast and Furious’ Gun Trafficking Scheme

No wonder why we have started receiving and reading reports about the Obama administration intimidating witnesses into not testifying during the investigation into their ‘Fast and Furious’ gun trafficking scheme. The ultra-corrupt Obama administration probably just didn’t want it to come out that they knew about the gun trafficking scheme, and did absolutely nothing to stop criminals from using the ATF’s guns in crimes in the U.S. and Mexico.

The Obama administration should be held responsible for the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry!

At a lengthy hearing on ATF’s controversial gunwalking operation today, a key ATF manager told Congress he discussed the case with a White House National Security staffer as early as September 2010. The communications were between ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office, Bill Newell, and White House National Security Director for North America Kevin O’Reilly. Newell said the two are longtime friends. The content of what Newell shared with O’Reilly is unclear and wasn’t fully explored at the hearing.

It’s the first time anyone has publicly stated that a White House

Issa: Obama Admin Intimidating Witnesses In ATF “Fast and Furious” Gun Probe

What is the Obama administration trying to cover-up?

Why are they trying to get people to not testify in the ATF “Fast and Furious” gun probe? Could it be that if these witnesses testify, that they will implicate the Obama administration and ATF in being complicit in the “Fast and Furious” weapon fiasco?

We think this is most likely the case.

The Obama administration sought to intimidate witnesses into not testifying to Congress on Tuesday about whether ATF knowingly allowed weapons, including assault rifles, to be “walked” into Mexico, the chairman of a House committee investigating the program said in an interview Monday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, said at least two scheduled witnesses expected to be asked about a controversial weapons investigation known as “Fast and Furious” received warning letters from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit their testimony.

Mr. Issa’s committee is set to hear testimony from six current or former ATF employees, including agents and attaches assigned to the bureau’s offices in Mexico, about the operation

Tax Evasion: GE To Move X-Ray Business to China

Obama’s pet company, General Electric, hasn’t paid any taxes in years, despite the many billions of dollars the company makes each year, yet Obama wants “wealthy Americans” and “private jet owners” to “pay their fare share” in taxes.

Why the pass for GE? Why don’t they have to pay their fare share?

We would really like to know what Obama and the Democrats are getting in return for the perks and cozy relationship with the Obama administration, which seem to benefit GE, while completely screwing the American People.

Now we learn that GE is moving their X-ray business over to China, where they can make things much cheaper, and yet still not pay their fare share of taxes, which just puts more money into the pockets of Obama’s pet company, GE.

General Electric Co.’s health care unit, the world’s biggest maker of medical imaging machines, is moving the headquarters of its 115-year-old X-ray business to Beijing.

“A handful’’ of top managers will move to the Chinese capital and there won’t be any job cuts, said Anne LeGrand, general manager of

House Speaker John Boehner’s Reply to Obama’s Debt Ceiling Speech

This is a full  transcript of House Speaker John Boehner’s reply to Obama’s debt ceiling speech.

Read the transcript of Obama’s Debt Ceiling Speech Here.

Good evening. I’m John Boehner. I serve as Speaker of the whole House — of the members of both parties that you elect. These are difficult times in the life of our nation. Millions are looking for work, have been for some time, and the spending binge going on in Washington is a big part of the reason why.

Before I served in Congress, I ran a small business in Ohio. I was amazed at how different Washington DC operated than every business in America. Where most American business make the hard choices to pay their bills and live within their means, in Washington more spending and more debt is business as usual.

I’ve got news for Washington – those days are over.

President Obama came to Congress in January and requested business as usual — yet another routine increase in the national debt limit — we in the House said ‘not so fast.’ Here

Obama, The Compulsive Liar, Strikes Again, and Again, and Again

Obama uses a prime-time address, and a lot of lies to try and save his own hide, while acting like, and quoting republicans to gain support for his re-election campaign.

In the joke of a speech Obama gave on Monday night, where there was at least one lie in every sentence, Obama tried blaming President Bush and Republicans for HIS over-spending binge, in conjunction with Obama’s job-killing policies, which added over $4 Trillion to the debt in under 2 years, and single-handedly caused the economy down-slide and overall dept problem we are currently facing.

Full Transcript of Obama’s Debt Ceiling Speech

Good evening. Tonight, I want to talk about the debate we’ve been having in Washington over the national debt – a debate that directly affects the lives of all Americans.

For the last decade, we have spent more money than we take in. In the year 2000, the government had a budget surplus. But instead of using it to pay off our debt, the money was spent on trillions of dollars in new tax cuts, while two wars and

Whack-Job Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee Is Out Of Touch With Reality

Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee’s attack on Republicans is a feeble attempt to push blame for our current financial situation away from those who actually deserve it, like the Obama administration and Democrats who increased our nation’s debt by $4 Trillion in his first 19 months, which historically is more than all previous Presidents from Washington through Reagan COMBINED.

Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) is a complete wacko nut-job, who probably needs to take her medication and go lay down somewhere. At least until she comes back to reality, or gets removed from office. Seeing how completely out-of-touch with reality Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee really is, it would be best for the country if she was removed from office.

Sounds more like an idiot Rep has no clue about what is going on, and is just sticking up for Obama and her party’s destruction of our economy, jobs, housing, and just about everything else they have touched.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) released a statement Monday saying the “debt crisis” has been “manufactured by House Republicans” who are “attempting to advance an extremist agenda.”

Boehner Ends Dead-End Debt Limit Talks With Tax-Hungry Obama

Obama and most of the Democrats are not honestly in favor of lowering the debt. They do want to raise the debt ceiling and jack up taxes to feed their out-of-control spending, impose more and more job-killing regulations to further damage the economy, and increase the size of the government to try and make us more dependent on the free handouts, as many already are.

Obama and the Democrats have had plenty of time to get the majority of our problems figured out, yet they waited until the last second on the debt problem because they wanted the American People to feel as though their backs were against the wall, and that a Democrat plan must be crammed through as soon as possible. They did the same thing with their socialist takeovers of private sector businesses, and the healthcare bill that none of the Democrats even read before passing.

Here is the letter from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) that explains why he broke off the debt ceiling negotiations with President Obama.

Dear Colleague,

Our economy is not creating enough

Obama Makes Military Weaker By Ending Ban On Openly Gay Soldiers

Democrats hate the military, and it seems that Obama and the Democrats are trying to start the quick decline of our nation’s military and homeland security by allowing gay soldiers to serve openly.

Soon, we will be seeing lawsuits brought by gay soldiers who were instructed not to wear their pink undershirts, neck scarfs, and earrings.

President Barack Obama has formally repealed the ban on gays serving openly in the U.S. military.

Administration officials say Obama on Friday signed a certification ending the 17-year-old “don’t ask don’t tell” policy on sexual orientation.

The president took the step, as expected, after meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Adm. Mike Mullen, the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman. As laid out in a law passed in December, the repeal will take effect 60 days from now. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a statement from the White House.

For Obama, the move makes good on a promise from his 2008 campaign to dismantle the 1990s-era policy.
