(3,596 posts)to be honest, the Democrats have raised voice about the assertion of executive privilege by Republican presidents.
I for one am in agreement we need to understand what went wrong with Fast and Furious both to prevent it from happening again and also to take appropriate action up to and including seeking criminal charges, if warranted.
But I suggest the House majority has done nothing, absolutely nothing about creating jobs. That was their sales pitch to the nation in 2010 - Elect us and we will create jobs.
That went nowhere. They have wasted their time on abortion, gay marriage, religious "freedoms", women bashing, etc. instead.

(21,925 posts)He's even explaining that Joe The Plumber's statement in his ad about the Armenian genocide and Hitler's extermination of the Jews figures in to a crazy zany wingnut conspiracy pushed by Fox News that Fast and Furious has become code for an alleged conspiracy by Obama to take guns away from white people and put them into concentration camps. It's Vince Foster nuttiness on steroids. Hartmann is calling it the Republican Twilight Zone. He's taking Darrel Issa apart like a cheap suit and giving the most detailed description of this insane conspiracy theory behind Issa's witch hunt. Must see TV.

You have failed to create ONE net job thus far, Boner.
