Eric Holder hasn't really handled this well and he probably deserves to have his weenie wacked over it.

But this screwed up mess did not originate with the Obama Justice Dept., it was initiated in 2005 or 2006 by ATF during the Bush administration and although it was well known by the justice dept that gunwalking was going on, they made no arrests or indictments during the years from 2006-2009.
