This was dreamed up by poorly supervised civil servants without any help from the political appointees.

The only way to get rid of Obama is to vote him out in 11 months (and don’t hope for anything that would make Biden president, he’ld be worse).

But instead, Mr. Kuhner has produced the piece above, which is larded (in a kosher publication, yet) with half-truths about an admittedly flawed law enforcement operation which ended in tragedy for one agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Mr. Kuhner’s piece above omits to report that the “Fast and Furious” operation commenced in 2009 was a continuation of “Operation Wide Receiver,” which was started in 2006 by BATF agents in Arizona, and later supported by Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who served under President George W. Bush. The connections of these operations to the attorneys general and presidents under whom they were carried out are not clear, and it is always problematic when things go wrong on a president’s “watch” to determine what, if anything, he could have done to better manage the huge sprawl of the federal government.

But Mr. Kuhner has chosen to omit many important facts about the story and is trying, shamelessly I think, to exploit a tragedy for an ATF agent to advance his and his employer’s partisan interest in smearing President Obama and Mr. Holder.
