The contempt within the Obama Administration for those opposing their actions is apparent. Fast and Furious is no exception. Had a Republican Administration committed this type of behavior, Obama would be leading the charge for investigation and penalties. Now that he is President… well, that’s different. This statement by Eric Holder concerning the Fast and Furious contempt charge from the House epitomizes the current Administration. From Fox News:
Holder told ABC News that the contempt voted didn’t bother him.
“But I have to tell you that for me to really be affected by what happened, I’d have to have respect for the people who voted in that way,” Holder said in the interview last month. “And I didn’t, so it didn’t have that huge an impact on me.”
And there you have it in a nutshell. They don’t respect anybody or anything that gets in their way. Laws, checks and balances, or even the constitution. Oh… a border patrol agent was killed by one of the guns. What difference does it make at this point anyway?
The double standard is a disgrace. This is not a blind spot. It is an tyrannical attitude. They know they are doing it and don’t care. Reports of his meeting with members of Congress have Obama telling them as Senator he would have been upset with the actions he [President Obama] was taking [executive privilege] concerning drone attacks killing Americans within our borders.
