House Democrats urge White House to come clean on Gunwalker

[Upton]

Friday, June 03, 2011

Today, 31 U.S. House members -- all Democrats -- wrote to President Barack Obama, urging him to end Administration stonewalling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' "Project Gunrunner," and the "Fast and Furious" program under which border state dealers were encouraged to sell thousands of guns to suspicious buyers.

In the letter, spearheaded by Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa., the lawmakers called the investigative tactics "extremely troubling" and found the Justice Department's failure to provide information to congressional investigators "equally troubling." Saying that Americans deserve "prompt and complete answers," the letter concluded with a call for the administration to help "get to the bottom of this serious allegation of federal law enforcement misconduct."

Hmm, all Democrats..I guess we can safely assume this isn't part of some NRA/GOP plot.

Lets hope President Obama heeds their advice..

2. Finally!!! I'm glad this is now being taken as seriously as it should.

We are potentially talking about international law/treaty violations here. Not to mention the deaths of innocents.

6. Republicans would never have this much integrity.

And the "fashion focus partisans" around here should take note. It's a rare thing when politicians have more backbone than their constituents.

11. Sure they do, provided there's a Democrat in the White House

It's like the old Cold War-era joke of the American and the Russian discussing their respective freedoms.
The American says, "We have freedom of speech; I can stand in front of the White House and shout 'Down with Eisenhower!' Can you do that?"
"Of course," replies the Russian, "I'm perfectly free to stand in front of the Kremlin and shout 'Down with Eisenhower!' as well."
