Thread: Poll: Clear Majority of Americans Disapprove Obama's Fast & Furious Exec. Priv. Claim

"By a 7-point margin — 48 percent to 41 percent — likely voters said Congress had been obstructionist toward the president. Independents sided with Obama by a margin of 13 points, 51 percent to 38 percent.

Giving added succor to the Obama reelection campaign, voters said, albeit by a narrow 43 percent to 38 percent margin, that he has been better than Congress at addressing the challenges facing the nation. While conservatives and liberals split in predictable ways, moderates favored Obama by a full 15 points."

Have fun in November incumbent Republicans.

Would you let a gun dealer who illegal sold guns to a criminal make such a defense.

Admit it. You know what fast and furious was all about. You simply dont care. As far as you are concerned those people were dead anyways. Better their deaths serve the greater good right. Lets us their deaths to bring about more gun control in the US. Why dont you just admit it?

Poll: ‘Clear majority’ of voters believe Obama’s executive privilege decision over-reaching

A new poll released Monday by The Hill shows a “clear majority” of likely voters nationwide believe that President Barack Obama is over-reaching with his assertion of executive privilege over Operation Fast and Furious documents.

Overall, The Hill said 56 percent of likely voters nationwide disapproved of Obama’s assertion of executive privilege in this case, while 29 percent approved.


A total of 61 percent of independents disapproved of Obama’s actions, while only 25 percent approved. Seventy-eight percent of Republicans disapproved of Obama’s executive privilege move, as did 28 percent of Democrats and 30 percent of liberals.

An even LARGER MARGIN of INDEPENDENTS found fault with the POTUS' ploy, than did the general population, giving support to the growing appearance that Obama is LOSING, or HAS LOST, Independents as a voting block.

Actions like the embarrassingly cynical use of Executive Privilegde to OBSTRUCT the INVESTIGATION INTO THE MURDER of US AGENT BRIAN TERRY (AND OTHERS), and the refusal to use INDEPENDENT COUNSEL to investigate the White House National Security Leaks, aren't helping Obama win them back....

More liberals disapproved than did Democrats! Looks like Dems are really only about party, not about principle.

Keep trying to pretend that Agent Brian Terry's BLOOD IN NOT ON OBAMA's HANDS....speaking of "how stupid"...

theres no default murder investigation....4 of the 5 killers have been arrested. unless you think the other gunman was Eric Holder....

Fast and Furious began with a noble goal.

On Oct. 26, 2009, the directors of the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and ATF and the top federal prosecutors in the Southwestern border states met with the deputy attorney general at the Justice Department to plot strategy for combating Mexican cartels. A key problem: the tens of thousands of guns coming from the United States to arm the drug traffickers.

Agents along the border had long been frustrated by what one ATF supervisor later called “toothless” laws that made it difficult to attack gun-trafficking networks. Straw buyers — people with no criminal record who purchase guns for criminals or illegal immigrants who can’t legally buy them — are subject to little more than paperwork violations. Even people convicted of buying AK-47s meant for the cartels typically just get probation for lying on a federal form attesting that they were buying the guns for themselves. With such a light penalty, it is hard to persuade those caught to turn informant against their bosses. And federal prosecutors rarely want to bring such charges because they do not consider the effort worth their time, according to ATF supervisors.

If he loses the election the best course of action is to forget the whole thing and move forward, we don't need another decade of division.

Good point. New slogan. "Guns don't kill people....Obama does".

Notice the date libs?

That is after Obama took office.

Fast and Furious is all his and Holder's baby.

That is what he wants, to stall until after the election. This way, he can have Biden pardon him if they get re-elected again.
