What's your take on Obama asserting Executive Privilege on the 'Fast and Furious' documents?

33. Stupid, stupid, stupid

One the one hand, it's good to see President Obama displaying loyalty and solidarity with his attorney general.

On the other, I think Holder deserves to go under the bus.

I don't think the average voter has any idea what Fast and Furious is. They will now. And that is a story where no one in the Justice Department comes out looking good. Holder looks positively perjurious in some of that testimony. Now, President Obama's plausible deniability and distance from the scandal is at an end. He will own this, and I do not think this is something he should be owning.

I feel like, were this not an election year, Holder would be gone by now.

This is a gamble. Do people hate Issa enough (and by extension, Republican obstructionism) and are they ignorant of F&F enough to let this slide until November?

We'll see. Right now, glancing around the web, I see right-wingers are jubilant over this. Why? Because now they think they can pin this all over the President. Until now, they figured Holder would be the farthest it would go.

Quite a gamble here.
