Forget that the author of PM stated this, but it is true. If you can remember back before the gun running scheme got exposed our state Senator (Schumer) and Hillary Clinton where touting the need for stricter gun laws to prevent this. Hillary even did a photo op in Mexico showing the collection of guns in Mexico. This was on the mainstream media for all to see. The ATF even set in place special rules restricting gunshops near the border from conducting business because they were blamed for supplying these guns to Mexico.
If this was a surprise to Obama and he was truly not part of it then why hasn't he dismissed Eric Holder for breaking the law? Because Obama and Holder were part of it. If Barack ever tried to dismiss Holder, and tried him for gunrunning, Holder would sell him down the river.
Remember, even though Holder did not carry the guns across the boarder, he is culpable. Because he was aware of a criminal act and did not nothing to stop it.
