Obama Evades ‘Fast and Furious’ Questions from Latino Media

During a White House roundtable with three Spanish-language media outlets on Wednesday, President Barack Obama skated around questions about Operation Fast and Furious.

“We’re working very hard to have a much more effective interdiction effort … we are checking southbound transit … to capture illegal guns, illegal cash transfers to cartels,” he said at the morning event with representatives from Yahoo!, MSN Latino, and AOL Latino/Huffington Post Latino Voices. “It is something we’ve been building … its not yet finished, and there’s more work to do,” he said.

Conservative Action Fund treasurer Shaun McCutcheon told The Daily Caller that Obama’s inability to answer basic questions about Operation Fast and Furious suggests the administration is covering up even more about the controversial program.

“The more that comes out about this Fast and Furious scandal, the more we realize that there are very real dangers in a government that is too big to monitor itself,” McCutcheon said in an email. “The Obama administration refuses to take responsibility for the deaths of Americans and Mexicans alike under their watch because of their program.”

    think about it: “It is something we’ve been building … its not yet finished, and there’s more work to do,” he said. like more stringent gun control laws that came to the fore just after the gun running was exposed more restrictions on law-abiding citizens under a contrived plan to make it look like to many weapons out there are the cause of the problem and not the inept administrations fault. And I am still waiting to hear about the gun running effort that was run out of Florida that put weapons in the hands of American gangs

    The very top of the pile of dung the SOB Barrack Obama will never admit he did give his protector Eric Holder his OK to run the Fast and Furious Gun Runner case and neither of these SOB's have any idea how to run any form of operation. They are liars that claim to be above board and honest but the ties to organized crime proves otherwise but non of the jackals we have elected will do anything for fear of being called a Racist and these SOB's Barrack Obama and Eric Holder know that these cowards will do anything to hold them responsible for there actions.

    If Bo wants a North American Union so bad, and the new Amero money, then why doesn't he start with allowing Mexico to step in and help invesigate the 22,000 gun runner murders in Mexico caused by the atf, Holder, and the BO adminitration. I'm all for allowing the US military Provose Marshall to hand over duplicat documents to Mexico and allow Mexico the right to demand information from the BO administration, on the fast and furious gov. operation, and then participate jointly in the prosicuition of the felons. This would fall under the RICO act or Racketeering.

    The post office has special reduced prices for sending money to Mexico. Try to send money to Germany and it costs MUCH more. So much for trying to curtail funds to Mexican cartel.

    No doubt about it. Fast & Furious came from the oval Office.Obamo is pointing fingers.And all the rest involed are coving their Butts.Hoping this will go away.

    Of course he evades the questions.. what answer could he give /? And how in hell did anyome even get to ask hm a hard question.. he is usually so protected from anyone who might ask something difficult.. all press conferences scripted. What a fool this president is.. does he not think we can guess he lies whenever he opens his mouth.. most dishonest president ever… even after Nixon!

    Obama, Fuera!!!!

    Odummer will loose the next election by a major landslide, probably the most lopsided in history. He is toast and he knows it but is huge ego will never allow him to just "step down'. I do agree that if, by some miracle, he is re-elected then the Repubs should gain the senate and maintain the house = impeachment for the fraud of claiming American citizenship. He could and should also be impeached for the gun running stuff.

    So, suddenly it's "No hable espanol" for 0bama? This fiasco was orchestrated as a grand scheme to whip up support for more leftist attacks on the 2nd amendment, using this gunrunning scheme to be the starting point. http://www.survivingurbancrisis.com/

    If the liberal press and ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, etc. had done their jobs Obama would never had been elected in the first place. They gave him a free pass and even covered for him most of the time. Have yu ever heard of Tass or Pravda? That's the type of agencies running this country now. They are not news agencies, they are propaganda machines.

  • WilliamJW

    He did what he does best when cornered and doesn't have a prepared speech to work off of. He bloviates untruths and goes into Jesse Jackson mode. Trying to sound well informed on the subject. At the same time trying to make it sound truthful all the while lying through his teeth.

  • Daniel

    I believe Obama knows all about F & F, I read an article months before this came out, how a reporter asked Obama what he'sbeen doing about gun control issues. He responded to the reporter that his administration was working on something under the table. months before this blew up, Hillary Clinton was complaining about America being the reason there were so many gun crimes in Mexico and the this happened, I think she possibly knew about this. This is the administrations way to impliment gun control by fraudently displaying our guns being sold over the border and crimes being commited, Thanks to the whistle blowers who blew this wide open.

  • AMERICAN SEABEE

    That silver tongue is looking very tarnished on you obama.

    Can't wait til we take you down..

  • madog

    This Chicago gangster and his big hipped acomplis has defied everything America hold dear. He has flaunted the fact that you don't have to be born in the USA to be President. He has broken a bucket full of laws, Lied about everything under the sun, Blowed tax payer money for personal pleasures, kissed muslim **s openly, Appointed Communist and known crooks to high positions in government, stood by while his kin breaks laws and lives off american charity without penalties, and other misdeeds to numerous to mention. And during all this the powers that be on both sides do not have the courage or b**ls to even start a federal investigation. Where are the special prosicutors like the ones that brought Nixon down??

    • Doug Rodrigues

      ….and the Republican "Leadership" in Congress simply sits and watches it all happen !!! ???

  • William

    If Obama ok,ed the gun deal he needs to lose his job like the others. I know that Mr. Holder has moved around a few to hide them but they need to be brought out and lose their jobs. if not go to jail.

  • Doug Rodrigues

    Obama will get by with this latest ploy to vilify gun ownership. The whole mess was a conspiracy to further gun control in our country. The Liberal "News" Media won't touch the truth because they are behind Obama 100%. Who are the Liberal "News" Media?. They are the former 1960's era wannabe Communist / Socialist College students who were brainwashed into pushing for socialism way back when lthe Communists were preaching "Tolerance," "Diversity," and "Political Correctness." Such Liberal idiocy has brought this country to it's knees! "Tolerance, Diversity, and Political Correctness has allowed millions of illegal Mexicans into our country who have no business being here. It's allowed radical Islamics to legally immigrate, and who now refuse to assimulate into American society, i.e. Deerborn, Michigan. It's allowed such anti-American orginizations such as the ACLU and LaRaza to function with your tax money supporting them! Truly, Liberalism is a mental illness because people cannot be THAT stupid without having some type of mental defect to cannot see the obvious failures of Tolerance, Diversity, and Political Correctness?

  • Rob

    Hay now wait a minute . You can't blame Diaper Head Obama for the problem . It is all the fault of the guns , you know those evil things that go Bang. All this shows is that we must get rid of all the Guns before they do it again . Just ask Hillery or Brady they will tell you .
    RIGHT!

  • BUD

    YOU JUST NEED TO REMEMBER ON ELECTION DAY.

  • Jim

    Obama and Holder are guilty of knowing all facts and authorized the " Fast and Furious" fiasco. Legal immigrants you have the right to answers for border bloodbaths of your own people by drug lords and gangs. Obama and Holder operatives must be accountable and be prosicuted for murders by drug lords as well as American citizens killed. They authorized the guns that are being used by the drug lords to kill your own people. Legal immigrants, do you want to vote for Obama who will allow killing of your loved ones? No! Stand up to Obama and demand answers and action for the truth. Contact your representatives and demand answers and action immediately.
