CNN lays tepid cover for Obama by subtly suggesting “Bush did it too”: Yes, Bush claimed executive privilege to withhold information from Congress in reference to the dismissal of US attorneys. Something that Presidents do. Obama is using executive privilege to obstruct an investigation into his
Justice Department’s complicity in multiple murders. Get the difference?

Just heard Jay Carney's briefing stating that the investigation into Fast and
Furious is nothing more than a political ploy. HA! Guess they had to fire back somehow over O's immigration policy, which really seemed political to me.
Completely ignoring that two American law enforcement agents are DEAD, and hundreds of Mexicans are DEAD, because of this. Naw, just politics!
RAAAACCCCIIIISSSSIIIISSSSMMMMMM!!!! ;-)
Oh yeah? Well...
NIXON DID IT TOO!
So there, CNN.
Its times like this I kind of miss Tricky Dick and all three or four of his Veeps.
This is why they trotted out Jackson-Lee yesterday - to start the drumbeats of the party line. It must have sounded less implausible than most of the dreck she spews, so the administration figured they have a winner.
Sadly, so many people are so shallow and have such a disgraceful public education (ie: no ability to think critically) that this will satisfy far too many. They are much to busy worrying about American Idol, Kim or Snookie to care about what Obama did - and who the hell is this Holder guy anyway?
I don't understand people. If everything Bush did was evil, why use Bush to DEFEND the action of the Anointed One? If you are going down that route you are stating the Anointed One Obamie is indeed evil... If it is a good thing to do, don't reference Bush, because then the question is why then was all of Bush's actions evil in your eyes if he did the same as Obama? People don't think through their biases and ideologies. That is a major problem especially when it is the media that happens to.
KimmyQueen, I have yet to see ONE single person able to defend or justify President Obama's actions without invoking Bush.
Right! That is what I don't understand. If Bush did it... it was evil if Obama does it, well it is okay, because Bush did it so that it follow that Obama is ALSO evil...? He-llo! But no Obama is NOT evil for doing the SAME thing that Bush did (down to enlarging the Patriot Act or enlarging drone attacks) why? Because he is a Democrat?! So being a Democrat redeems you of the evil that you do when you do the same as a Republican? Does that even make sense to anyone with a brain?
I don't know about anyone else, but in my own personal experience, "they started it" stopped working as a valid excuse at about age 12.
Think through? We're talking about liberals here, aren't we?
KimmyQueen,
This administration has not owned anything except its health care. The rest has been Bush's fault. I agree if it's Bush's fault why provide the cover for him. Go ahead and release the documents and show the whole world who is at fault. Actions and deeds always speak louder than words. The actions and deeds of this bunch are screaming at the American People.
They are using Bush for EVERYTHING even to explain away behavior that they THEMSELVES deemed to be evil when Bush did it! It is so stupid I don't even understand that level of stupidity. He (the Anointed One) promised TRANSPARENCY when will he get started with that?
When he's forced to. I hope Congress keeps the pressure on.
CNN, thank you for letting more viewers know what vile partisans you really are.
CCN is not telling the whole story (imagine that) Rove was offered to be sworn in and give testimony in front of Congress. They finally did this in 09 and found nothing wrong. Rove was just on Fox with Gretta. She asked him about this very thing. That and Pelosi wanting to have him arrested.
You all just hate Holder becuse he's black, RACISTS!!!
I admit I hate him for his color... which is red commie.
Holder and Obama lied 'cuz people died!
i hate him for his cheesy moustache.
That's a moustache? I thought it was chocolate milk residue!
Maybe a "Dirty Sanchez" from his boss?
I see the Communist News Network is back to doing what they do best, attempting to cover "Dear Leader's" lying ass. And they wonder why nobody watches their propaganda anymore.
Next, the story will be that F&F was a misguided attempt to help Mexico deal with its overpopulation problem, and thus save the planet, and that BO never heard of it until last Sunday anyway, and so shut up you nasty racists.
