Obama Admin Lies...In Their Own Words! [Video]

Posted by Brian
H/T to The Blaze

Glenn Beck and The Blaze put together and last night aired a compilation of the multitude of lies that have come out of the Obama Administration.

Viewed back-to-back, the clips illustrate a damning indictment of White House and Administration officials saying one thing one minute, and then completely contradicting themselves the next.

Remember the media marveling at the 2008 Obama campaign's ability to stay focused like a laser on their message? Ironically, this same group over the next 5+ years has been incapable of staying on message from one moment to the next, whether it be addressing the media, on Sunday Morning talking head shows, of testifying under oath before Congress.

A must watch and share! More to Come!

ATF MACHINE GUN STOLEN!

Posted by Tom

MISSING: ATF FULLY AUTOMATIC MACHINE GUN!

At a time when Obama attempts to disarm the American People, while at the same time he Arms the Muslim Brotherhood, and Eric Holder arms Mexican Drug Cartels, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms can't find their Machine Gun! Hard to understand why the American's are reluctant trust this administration? The same people that preach responsible gun ownership can't keep track of their Machine Guns!

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are demanding answers after a damning news report this week outlined an almost unthinkable series of errors in a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sting operation.

For 10 months, ATF agents in Milwaukee ran a storefront operation meant to bust criminals for gun and drug violations. But the operation inside the phony store “Fearless Distributing” didn’t take down any major drug dealers or gang members — instead, the store was robbed of $35,000 worth of merchandise, an agent’s machine gun was stolen, and a document with the names and phone numbers of undercover agents was left behind after the operation was shut down, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

It’s the latest embarrassment for the agency still under the cloud of Operation Fast and Furious. On Thursday, some of the top Washington lawmakers investigating that failed operation turned their attention to the ATF’s actions in Milwaukee with a letter to ATF Acting Director Todd Jones.

In it, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Robert Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) laid out the allegations of failure and mismanagement and set a two-week deadline for answers to 22 specific questions.

“If these reports are accurate, your ability to provide this leadership is in serious doubt,” the letter stated. “You promised to ‘hit the reset button’ when you became acting director. Instead, it appears as though you have hit the ‘repeat’ button, as the Fearless Distributing sting was created and conducted entirely under your stewardship.”

According to the Journal Sentinel, the ATF opened the fake store last year and staffed it with undercover agents who, under the guise of selling clothes and shoes, “let it be known” that they were willing to buy guns and drugs — and at a premium. In one case, an ATF agent paid $1,250 for a handgun with an auction value of just $400 to $700.

In total, the sting resulted in charges filed against just 30 people — mostly for low-level drug or gun counts — but agents also got the wrong person in at least three instances, including one who was actually in prison at the time, the newspaper reported.

“I have never heard of those kinds of problems in an operation,” retired ATF agent Michael Bouchard told the Journal Sentinel. “Sure, small bits and pieces, but that many in one case? I have never heard of anything like that.”

ATF spokesman Special Agent Robert Schmidt did not immediately return a request for comment from TheBlaze, though insisted to the Journal Sentinel that the agency’s operation had made the streets of Milwaukee safer.

“Our number one responsibility is denying criminal access to firearms and that is what we are trying to do,” Schmidt said. “It is our duty to purchase these firearms to protect the American public and citizens of Milwaukee.”

The search continues for the still-missing M-4 .223-caliber fully automatic rifle and another handgun stolen out of an agent’s Ford Explorer. A third gun stolen at the same time was recovered — it was sold back to Fearless Distributing for $1,400. Schmidt told the Journal Sentinel the agency is “actively looking for any missing firearms that might be out there right now.”

“The mismanaged operation included numerous careless and costly mistakes,” Rep. Sensenbrenner said in a statement to Fox News. “Along with my colleagues, I am asking the ATF what happened in Milwaukee and who will be held accountable. I want to know how these glaring blunders could happen. How did ATF—for the second time that we know of—put guns in the hands of dangerous criminals?”

Obama disarms Americans and Arms Muslim Brotherhood!

Posted by Tom

As Obama is now arming the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt! The Brotherhood's credo is, "Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations."


GENERAL DYNAMICS F-16 FIGHTER/BOMBER

Obama is now moving forward with arming the Muslim Brotherhood with 20 F-16 Fighter/Bombers and 200 M1A1 Abrams Tanks, the most advanced tanks in the world....and it's ALL PAID for with YOUR TAX DOLLARS!

President Morsi of Egypt has stated that Jews are descendants of Apes and Pigs. When questioned about this comment, he apologized, but then went on to say that it wasn't his fault as the Media is controlled by Jews...

M1 TANK - The most Advanced Tank in the World Today

In 2010, Morsi called on Egyptians to “nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for Jews and Zionists."

True to form, when Morsi took power on June 30, 2012, he stated that his Country would be re-evaluating Egypt's long standing Peace Treaty with Israel.

These weapon systems pose a direct threat to the Safety and Security of Israel. It is incomprehensible that the American People are PAYING to arm a known supporter of various terrorist organizations such as Hamas!

UPDATE:

As the world paused in reflection on Jan. 27--Holocaust Remembrance Day--Fathi Shihab Eddim, a key figure in Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's administration, said the Holocaust was "a hoax cooked up by U.S. intelligence operatives." He also suggested that six million Jews were not killed by Hitler, but rather moved to the U.S. Eddim described the Holocaust as a story the U.S. invented "to justify war and massive destruction against military and civilian facilities of the Axis powers, and especially to hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the Atomic bomb."

Perhaps this shouldn't be surprising. The Obama Administration thinks it's appropriate the disarm the American People and instead, arm the Mexican Drug Cartels, hence "Fast and Furious!"

What happened to "Common Sense" and accountability? All of this just shows there is neither in this Administration - one that promised to be the most transparent in history!

I'll give Obama that, he's incredibly transparent in his goals, just not in his disclosure or accountability!

Obama Univision Disaster: Condescension and Lies on Fast & Furious

Posted by Brian

That Barack Obama is arrogant is not new. His chin tilted up as he talks looks out over his audience is a common photo of the man. But his performance on Univision yesterday should be required viewing, not just for the Latino community, but for everybody. Barack Obama unmasks himself for the intolerable boor that he is. Not accustomed to the kid-glove treatment that he gets from the U.S. mainstream media, Obama is unable to hide his contempt for some truly probing questions from the Univision interviewers.
When asked about his failure to live up to his 2008 campaign promise of passing comprehensive immigration reform, Obama condescendingly explains to the audience how our government works, that it has three branches of government, and that he as President is not all-powerful, and cannot do things alone, saying "we have to have cooperation from all these sources to get thing done".
Of course he fails to mention that in his first two years in office the Democrats controlled the Executive Branch, held a large majority in the House of Representatives, and had a "super majority" in the Senate. Even as he tries to blame the Republicans for his broken promise on Immigration Reform, it is well known that the GOP had no way of stopping any legislation without Democrats voting against their own President. Not only was his tone condescending, but his answer was misleading.

UNIVISION DEBACLE: OBAMA MISLEADS, CONDESCENDS TO LATINO COMMUNITY
H/T to Breitbart for the video

Another tough question for the President (not something Obama is used to, since he rarely takes any questions from the media), was on the Fast & Furious scandal. Asked why Eric Holder didn't know about the program, and why he shouldn't he be fired, Obama responded with this:

"First of all, I think it's important for us to understand that the Fast & Furious program was a field initiated program begun under the previous Administration. When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it."

This entire statement is an out right lie. Fast and Furious did NOT start under the Bush Administration! The Bush administration had a similar program called "Operation Wide Receiver", which was conducted with the cooperation of the Mexican government. It involved 300 guns which had tracking devices installed on them, and the program was shut down in 2007, nearly two years before Obama was sworn in a President.
The Fast and Furious program was installed after Obama took office. In addition, the Mexican government was not informed of this operation, which involved 3000 weapons, none of which had tracking devices installed to monitor their whereabouts, or who they were going to. Two U.S. agents were murdered with some of these weapons, as were hundreds of Mexican citizens.
As infuriating as the fact that Obama and his Administration continue to lie to the American public about this flawed-from-the-start program, the bigger question is: Why? What are they hiding, and who are they trying to protect? Why does Barack Obama claim "Executive Privilege" regarding the documents if he had no involvement in this? These are all questions that have yet to be answered.
Overall the Univision appearance was an unmitigated disaster for "the One", as he came off as arrogant and dismissive of his audience, and he got caught in a bold faced lie that he and his administration continue to advance.
Well done, Univision! Thank you for asking some of the questions that our Obama sycophantic U.S. media fail to ask.
