WEST CHESTER, PA -- Presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan blamed President Barack Obama for putting “almost 44,000 jobs at stake” here in Pennsylvania because of the looming defense cuts.
Speaking outside the American Helicopter Museum & Education Center, Ryan argued that under the Obama administration, “you either lose defense jobs in Pennsylvania or put small businesses further in a competitive disadvantage to compete in the global economy and lose small business jobs.”
"I’ve got a good idea – why don’t we take away President Obama’s job and create jobs for everybody no matter what industry they are in. That’s a good stimulus project," Ryan said.
Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, voted for the debt ceiling deal last summer, which included the sequestration of defense spending.
In the year since then, Ryan has joined other House Republicans in passing legislation to put off those defense cuts by finding savings elsewhere. However, the Obama administration has rejected these calling it an unbalanced package since it would rely on cuts elsewhere, rather than include a mix of tax hikes. The president has vowed to veto any attempt to undo the sequester.
The Wisconsin congressman, who made his Pennsylvania debut today on the stump, first talked about sequestration -- the pending $500 billion in defense cuts -- on the campaign trail in Virginia on Aug. 17.
Both Virginia and Pennsylvania have a heavy military presence in their states.
Ryan declared here just outside of Philadelphia: “national defense is the first priority of the federal government.”
The seven-term congressman has had his national security credentials called into question since being announced as VP as he typically deals with domestic issues.
However, in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that will air this evening, Ryan said he believes he has more experience with foreign policy than President Obama did when he took office in 2008.
“Well, most of the traveling I’ve done throughout my 14 years in Congress has been to the Middle East. You know, I’ve had men and women to war on more than one occasion. I’ve been to those funerals. I’ve talked to the widows and the wives and the parents. I’ve gone to Afghanistan and Iraq to meet with our troops, to learn from them. Obviously, I have a lot more experience than Barack Obama did when he became president. But if you take a look at our current posture, President Obama is quote-unquote, “leading from behind,” Ryan said.

Let's see...
So far today, Paulie has been clinging to his guns, God & Joe the Plumber, makes total sense to whip out the fear card!
This idiot reminds me of Palin in pants!
@Feisty,
Desperate problems require desperate solutions... and the Republican Party is sure desperate.
Just in time for their big dog and pony show next week, too, which should be a hoot to watch!
Tell me about it Bali Bob!
Who doesn't love a good horror movie? ☺
I've already stocked up on the *popcorn*
PS: I hear there is a hurricane heading their way, maybe God still hasn't forgiven them from 2008!
Don't worry about the hurricane Feisty,
There will be enough hot air coming out of Tampa, to blow away any storm!
Ryan -- We can't hear you over that loud roar for Romney's tax returns!
Romney/Ryan are trolls. They keep trying to change the topic with new lies.
@Feisty,
You got the popcorn, don't forget the beer.
Drinking game: Take a sip every time the term "Obamacare" is used.
Predict a massive hangover.

Ryan is wrong and either lying or just grossly uninformed
sorry but you need type in the http stuff
From the article: "Paul Ryan blamed President Barack Obama for putting 'almost 44,000 jobs at stake'here in Pennsylvania because of the looming defense cuts."
Since when did the military become a Republican entitlement program? America's defense spending is nearly as large as the rest of the world combined. We could cut our defense budget by 25% and we would still outspend the next ten countries combined, most of which are our allies. Freeing that money would go a long way toward balancing the budget and our military would still remain the most powerful in the world.

If Ryan is so interested in reducing the deficit, he should be welcoming these cuts instead of whining about them.
Goodee!
We can go green and use it to pop the *popcorn*
After 3 days, I would be a full blown alcoholic! ;o)
Cheers!
The more Ryan spins this crap, the more he looks like the turd going down the toilet.
Joe 'the non' Plumber, Silly Sarah, and now Mr. Marvelous.....Wow, the GOP really goes for the shinny object!
No vetting necessary.....they just like the sound!
...and of course "It's my turn" Willard!
@chilled
oy-vay, soon they vill be vetting their pants.
I thought these guys told us,......Government doesn't create jobs. WTF man, WTF?
Chris@SLC -- It's like all the other lies they tell, such as how stimulus works when Dubya wanted it, but doesn't work when Obama wants it, AND even though Teapublicans like Paul Ryan requested stimulus with high praises of expected results to create jobs.
I'll try to get Paul Ryan's full 2002 speech on the floor that was broadcast on CSPAN... Wow, Paul Ryan was for Keynesian economics before he was against it.
How did exactly Paul Ryan become the head of that group ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////?
That's why he always has butt cheek burns on the side of his ears.
Mr Ryan,
Your vote for the sequestration law has consequences.
If it was so critical to find another way, why did you vote for the bill in the first place, and why did Congress decide to go on a six week recess till mid Sept?
Oh, that's right , you all are up for election in Nov.
He voted for the Iraq invasion......Mr. Marvelous says that's important!
Thanks for reminding everyone how much money we will save on defense thanks to our President. Actually, it was the Republican party that created this but if you want to give credit to the President than I think the President should take credit and say thank you also. Like your friend Grover said today in an interview on MSNBC "I'm for defense cuts. We do need some military to keep an eye on Canada." Pretty funny guy.
You voted for that deal Ryan, are you saying we can't trust you to honor the agreements you enter into.
More lies, more flip flops, more say one thing and do another, more dishonor and damage to the GOP brand.
Puitting defence jobs at risk like the jobs of the soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan when Ryan and his Ilk want to send them to Iran or Syria? Is that what he means?
You guessed it, Adler! Of course we need another war. If we get out of Afganistan, How will General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin make those big profits?
You always need another war on the back burner..............Just in case!
What another crock of crap hypocrisy. If the jobs being cut are in defense, then it would be devastating. But if its' teachers or other public workers, heck folks who have lost jobs due to creative destruction, then it doesn't matter. Puleeeze, Ryan, STFU.
Ryan..you and your hawks made the deal a year ago...stop your whining.
The Repubs are not as good as their words...NOT
It is becoming apparent the Rep. Ryan doesn't have much to say, beyond Republik party talking points.
GOVERNMENT WORKERS AND CONTRACTORS do not PRODUCE wealth they CONSUME the wealth generated by others. They are what is known as negative cash flow or debt. To think government taxing/printing/borrowing/spending is a positive part of the economy is insane.
Every Bozo out there has a way of justifying their piece of the $1.7 trillion dollar deficit spending but has no problem cutting someone else's little extortion racket. Neither party wants to cut the budget they simply want to move all spending to their lobby bought off, vote buying crap.
I am totally sick of both party's and their insane deficit spending. Financial death by warfare or welfare means no difference to the average middle class person that does not benefit from either. It is simply which parasites would you rather support.
These folks are not elves who grow their own food, sew their own clothes, etc. A job is a job, and these people pay taxes and create demand just like others in the middle class do. Dubya grew the public sector, and along with stimulus spending was able to avoid a deeper recession after the dot-com bust and 9-11 hit.
The FACT is Republicans don't want President Obama to have any success, so per their premeditated plotting and planning have obstructed everything including their own bills or ideas. Like Romney has tried to be secretive in his gated community, Paul Ryan is a House Rep. who has hidden in a small district. The details of their past and their records are coming out and it ain't a pretty scene.
If you hate deficit spending, the Republicans have been the worst offenders, and you should really dislike Paul Ryan's budget.
Geeezzz... the money they get their wages from is "tax money"... is your paycheck from people paying taxes??
Well why don't we give EVERYONE a government job? We can make up our own wages, have great healthcare and giant pensions? We can vote for people who give us huge raises and increased benefits ever year! We can start and continue massive wars to keep us all employed. If we were all government paid people we could vote ourselves into being rich too.
Then again where do we get the tax money from? Should we just borrow it all? What's the difference between borrowing $1.7 trillion a year or $17 trillion a year? It is all unbacked fiat currency anyways.
That is like me taking your bank account and garnishing your wages to give all my unemployed buddies jobs. We all call it helping the economy and putting people to work. As long as we all pay taxes and "create demand" with your bank account you shouldn’t mind. If you get two jobs and put more in your bank account we can hire even more workers. Three jobs is even better! Sounds good to me and my buddies........ how about you?
If you noticed in my postings I hate deficit spending of BOTH party's. I do not see one decent proposal and both party's make sure there is not a decent one ever voted on.
hypocrisy = Democrat/Liberal
you claim Republicans only pander to the rich.
So, home come all the bastions of wealth in the U.S. (New York, California, Illinois, Masssachusetts, Washington, etc,,,,) all overwhelmingly Democrat?
It sure isn't because Dems create wealth. Liberals confiscate other peoples money and claim to be wealthy
You can tax, spend and borrow your way to prosperity.
The Democratic party has had complete control of the Government since 2006. SIX YEARS!
from 2006 until 2010, the dems had the house, the senate, and the whitehouse. from 2010 to present the Dems have had complete control of the Senate and the whitehouse....almost total control of the Government for 6 years. the Republicans couldn't pass, propose, or stop anything if they wanted to.....but it's all their fault.
Obama said the GOP could (QUOTE) "come along for the ride, but they gotta sit in the back of the bus"
and now he can't understand why they won't rubberstamp his agenda
Obama only has one plan.....TAX THE RICH MORE
This is unargueable Fact
i can't wait to hear you liberals pitiful, predictable come backs

colorized for slow thinkers.
sorry no takers here, just because you hear it on limpbaug does not make it true.
Good afternoon.
300+ filibusters. Own it and stop the lies. Dems rule and repubs drool. Repubs lie and soldiers die.
Rep. Ryan, YOU voted "YES" on the Budget Control Act on August 1, 2011. By your YES vote, YOU are also responsible for the sequester (if it happens).
Note that all of this happened because YOU and the Republicans rejected the "grand bargain" (which would have also reduced the deficit by 4 trillion). If the 44,000 jobs are lost, you have only yourself and the rest of the Republican House obstructonists to blame.
Rep. Ryan, you can argue that the Ryan Budget Bill "restored defense spending" but in all honesty you knew in advance that it would never pass the Senate as it proposed defuding PPACA. So that is an absolute BS position for YOU to take.
The most screwed up Congress in American history owns its problems and Ryan is one of the biggest lunkheads to paint himself into the corner. He now wants Obama to save him from stupidity. This is just a sample of the Republican chaos if they get anywhere near the White House.
Akin and Ryan believe exactly the same thing about rape. Ryan thinks it was a secret, just like a hundred other lunatic issues that threaten to tear society apart and degrade democracy. "In your guts, you know they're nuts".
How many jobs did Ryan and his GOP cost America this year? about 500 thousand by gridlocking the jobs bill in order to protect the wealthy from paying taxes. He thinks Americans are blindfolded and deaf.
Matthew, as i said. the Dems have had complete control of th government for a long time, the GOP hasn't had the power to do ANYTHING for a long time. Quit blaming everyone else for Obama's and the liberal controlled Governments failures
Mr. McCullogh, what part of the Republicans having control of the House by being the majority and the Republicans having enough seats in the Senate to successfully filibuster have you missed?
Mr. McCollough, are you even aware that on Janury 20, 2009, a group of Republicans secretly met to lay out a plan to deliberately obstruct President Obama and the Democratic agenda? And that they agreed to "Show united and unyielding opposition to the president's economic policies" (source: Robert Draper)
Respectfully Mr. McCullough, your position that "the Dems have had complete control of th government for a long time" is totally incorrect.
another one who drank the GNOP Kool-Aid....
GNOP can't handle the facts. THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Obama - Biden 2012 / Romney 1040 (with apologies to other posters!)
Don, Ryan and the GOP don't have the power to do ANYTHING. The Dems have complete control of the government.
Mike....and I got a bride to nowhere for you....your post shows your ignorance on the government and how the branches of government work. Nice try..but another uneducated poster.
House of Representatives are the purse strings of government...the Senate either accepts, modifies, and then sends bills back to the House...if all agree, bill passed, and then sent to the President to either sign or veto. Exactly how do the democrats have complete control. The House has the majority of republicans, democrats are the minority. Split without a super majority in the Senate. Democratic President.
Please explain to me exactly how the democrats have complete control?
It's called education....might be helpful to you.
by the way Mikey....just how many jobs bills have the GNOP offered since 2010 when the priority was J*O*B*S???? They have named more Post Offices then there are Post Offices....
Obama's "Stimulus" or "jobs bill" was $224 billion in entitlements...... obviously ZERO job creation here. All pure charity to people out of the workforce for whatever reasons. What the heck is this about?
Then $275 billion went to contracts, grants and loans.........GRANTS??? Most went to retaining higher education administration and employees....union government employees. Loans to who for what???
Finally $288 billion went to tax benefits.... extremely vague and none of them were tied in any way to job creation. In other words they were not worded forcing anyone to bring on new hires. It was paying companies to do what they normally do and that is maximize profits however they see fit including laying off people.
This does not sound like any job stimulation package to me. It should have been $1 trillion in contracted WORK with specific focus on hiring new employees to do that work. What little money that actually went to contracts was more like corporate charity because it was not in any way contractually tied to hiring new employees. It moved "selected" contractors from low paying private sector jobs to high paying government ones. No new hires there.
It was a lobby payback plain and simple. One third to ENTITLEMENTS is inexcusable... maybe that stimulated the crack dealers, fast food joints and gas station stores...... certainly no new jobs there.
Still saying NEITHER party gives a crap about jobs and never will until the lobby money stops.
HOW would , you know , Your retardicans have blocked EVERY bill that might have helped . New Gov The SOOTH SAYER . Lmao @ u son
They didn't block the "Stimulus Bill" that I outlined above. It passed and we got nothing from it but some lobby payoffs and vote buying. It did not help the economy at all.
Bill passed, made law, almost a trillion dollars gone.............. did nothing. It is no surprise because as you can see it was not meant to stimulate the economy. It was simply Obama lobby payoffs and some vote harvesting.
There are excuses to fail as a President.... but no excuses when you want to be reelected. You don't get a "practice term".
I did not refer to the bill YOU call the stimulus . Too bad their has been 3 .5 years of obstruction .
Oh I see.... you are referring to all the jobs bills "proposed" that never got a chance to fail like the trillion dollar one did. I don't understand why you would throw good money after bad?
of course there are no takers Chris.
the entire Liberal/Democrat reasoning crumbles when faced with actual facts.
i didn't hear it on Rush. i HEARD OBAMA SAY IT!
do some research man....don't just buy the party line
HE DID SAY IT! but then, you are a thinking man, so you already knew that...right?
Party troll and hater of the USA:
That's you Mr M. You want the 1%ers to turn this great land into a carpetbaggers paradise. And you are a magnificent liar, or stupendously stupid. Take your pick.
Jack who claims to be independant. read your own words slowly.
your right. the house writes the bills, the senate ratifies, the president signs or vetoes.
therefore the Dems control 2 out of three, FOLLOW?
but i'm ignorant and your smart. right?
The current administration controlled house senate and pres for two years and all they could pass was raising debt ceiling, obamacare, and stimulis that stimulated nothing and buried us in debt. Imagine if they had free hand for the last two years what kind of mess we would be in.
hit a nerve did i bleary eyed? Libs only get pissed off when you tell the truth.
you sound pretty pissed off to me. I LOVE IT! BRING IT ON! I WILL BURY YOU WITH TRUTH!
and by the way? when did i ever mention my political affiliation?
i didn't. you just assumed
SO, according to bleary, we outlaw the rich and make everybody poor, and that will fix things......
typical literal reasoning
TRUTH!
people only claim to be independent because they are to chicken to say they are Liberals
Hey mike , did you have a point ? or are you just rush-bois bitch ? Sounds like the bitch to me .
TRUTH!
Liberals control most of the wealth, but hate everyone wealthy except themselves.
(can you say Kennedy, Kerry, SOROS, Polosi, Hollywood actors, most millionare atheletes, etc.....)
TRUTH - You have too much freakin time on your hands. Go do something productive besides spamming first read.
The Koch brothers have more cash than all those people you mentioned combined. Thay have also said they are going to donate 100 million to Willard. Find anyone on the left that is donating a fraction of that amount.
The Rockefellers have more money in their spare change pocket than the Koch brothers made in their lifetimes.
The Rockefellers have an incestuous relationship with the Democratic party that goes back to the early 1900's and is still going strong as ever. That's right the people who own the largest oil company on the planet and part of the Federal Reserve banks are seamlessly intertwined with the Democratic party.
So what is your point?
Can you say.....SOCIALIST!
Can u say repubs are closet socialists and big time in your face FASCISTS ? I Can and did .
I thought the GOP hated government employees?? I guess they hate them until they have to pander to them. It blows my mind that the GOP can look at our bloated defense budget and say, No problem here, it's all the poor people's fault. Simply amazing.
The problem is not either party at this point.
The problem is the "DEFICIT JUNKIES" now make up about 60% of the population. We have 47% that pay zero federal income taxes and use the most entitlements/services with 45 million just on food stamps. Then we have all the federal employees, federal retirees, military, military retirees, defense contractors, other federal contractors, union pensioners that were bailed out, corporations that were bailed out, retirees of bailed out corporations, banks that were bailed out etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
That makes up about 60% of the voting population. How do you ever pass responsible legislation when 60% of the country is dependent on and addicted to deficit spending? They would elect Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party to keep the deficit spending going. They have built their entire lives around living off government borrowing with some for multiple generations.
Every single federal deficit junkie has an excuse why they are special and can't be compromised. They all want to "save themselves" and hack the other guy. Simply cut them all right across the board instead of everyone arguing over their "pet pig" deficit junkie then never cutting anything. They are ALL completely unsustainable.
Ryan is just getting started with obamanation. It's sad that dem's have nothing to boast about over the last four years. All they do is attack others that have ideas because they haven't a clue. Pety, nasty, liers. That pretty well sums up obamanations campaign. Gee, wouldn't it be nice if they accomplished something that they could be proud of instead of remaining on the defensive all the time. Just reading all the leftwing slams in this column clearly shows the narrowminded people that still buy into obamanation's deceit! Good luck....you are being HAD! (Again.)
MY MY MY!!!!!!!!!
Putting the defense jobs at risk?!?!?!?
You SURE you want to go with THAT line, Congressman Ryan?!?!?!
Tell me: Which party thought is was a "good idea" to hold the pay of our service members hostage, AS WELL AS lower our country's credit rating?
The F-22 HAS NOT proven itself in battle, YET it cost the taxpayers $150 MILLION to produce, along with costing us $66.7 BILLION to keep the program up and running!!!
Who was the FOOL who thought it was "sheer genius" to keep the BOTH the war in Iraq and Afghanistan off the books? Which administration thought it was "economically sound" to give defense contractors "No-Bid" contracts? Which Vice President was a former CEO who pocketed from that cash haul?
Always a pleasure to take you down memory lane, Congressman Ryan.
Even Obama would fire himself
we can hear you.

Obama 2006 vs. Obama January
2011 vs. Obama April 2011 on the Debt Ceiling - ABC News
Obama
2006 vs. Obama January 2011 vs. Obama April 2011 on the Debt Ceiling - ABC
News: In March 2006, then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., found the notion of
raising the debt ceiling quite distasteful.
“The
fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of
leadership failure,” he said. “It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay
its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance
from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. …
Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the
burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.
America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I
therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”
Obama Administration Caught Running False Flag Against Second Amendment
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars
Friday, June 24, 2011
Despite the Obama administration’s best efforts to characterize Operation Fast and Furious, a recently revealed ATF program that sought to put U.S.-based firearms into the hands of Mexican drug smugglers, as little more than a ‘screw up’, the most damning evidence strongly indicates that the whole operation was in fact an attempt to launch a false flag assault on the second amendment rights of the American people.
Under Operation Fast and Furious, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives “Sanctioned the purchase of weapons in U.S. gun shops and tracked the smuggling route to the Mexican border. Reportedly, more than 2,500 firearms were sold to straw buyers who then handed off the weapons to gunrunners under the nose of ATF.” Some of the weapons were later used to kill US Border Patrol agents like Brian Terry.
An editorial posted at Investors.com this week asks, Was Fast And Furious A Gun-Control Plot?, a reasonable assumption to make given the fact that Obama has openly revealed his administration’s plans to sabotage the second amendment by stealth.
“Rather than a botched attempt to catch criminals, was the ATF program actually an attempt to advance gun-control efforts by an administration that has blamed Mexican violence on easy access to U.S. weapons?” asks the author.
“If “Operation Fast and Furious” was merely a botched attempt at law enforcement, why was a supervisor of the operation, David Voth, “jovial, if not, not giddy but just delighted about” marked guns showing up at crime scenes in Mexico, as career Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent John Dodson told Rep. Darrell Issa’s House Oversight Committee?”
The Obama administration and the ATF claim that the program was part of a sting operation to catch leading Mexican drug runners, and yet it’s admitted that the government stopped tracking the firearms as soon as they reached the border, defeating the entire object of the mission, unless the mission was about pushing through gun control in the US and had nothing to do with the drug war.
That would also explain why ATF agents like James Casa were repeatedly ordered to stand down and not seize the firearms, while the Obama administration failed to even inform Mexican authorities of the program’s existence.
Unbelievably, both Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder maintain that they had no knowledge of the operation until it became public, and no one will admit to authorizing it. ATF Acting Chief Ken Melson is “strongly resisting pressure” to resign over the program, claiming that he is being used as a “fall guy” to take the blame and make the controversy disappear.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (Ad)
However, the notion that the Obama administration would deliberately implement a program they knew could later be used to demonize gun rights is hardly conspiratorial given the fact that Obama himself told gun control advocate Sarah Brady earlier this year that his administration was working “under the radar” to sneak attack the second amendment.
During a March 30 meeting between Jim and Sarah Brady and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, at which Obama “dropped in,” the president reportedly told Brady, “I just want you to know that we are working on it (gun control)….We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.”
The quote appeared in an April 11 Washington Post story about Obama’s gun control czar Steve Croley.
There also seems to be little motivation on behalf of the US government to catch drug smuggling kingpins in Mexico by way of sting operations involving firearms given the fact that those same kingpins are in many cases working for US intelligence itself.
As we reported years ago, former DEA agent Cele Castillo has blown the whistle on how the US government controls the Los Zetas drug smuggling gang and uses it as the front group for their narco-empire.
With the gang having first been trained at the infamous School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia, Castillo affirms that Los Zetas are still working for the US government in protecting drug routes to keep the wheels of Wall Street well-oiled. Castillo has gone on the record to state that the commandos are working directly for the US government drug cartel in carrying out hits on rival drug smugglers who aren’t paying their cut.
In addition, it was recently revealed that Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla, the “logistical coordinator” for another top Mexican drug-trafficking gang, Sinaloa, the organization responsible for purchasing the CIA torture jet that crashed with four tons on cocaine on board back in 2007, also obtained guns from the U.S. that were later used to kill people in Mexico City. Niebla recently told the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago that he has been working for the U.S. government since January 2004.
The Obama administration has repeatedly invoked rhetoric about the flow of guns being smuggled from the U.S. into Mexico as a talking point with which to chill gun rights of American citizens, repeating the demonstrably false myth that 90% of weapons confiscated by Mexican authorities originate in the U.S.
Before his election, Obama attracted the fury of gun rights activists when he said that Americans frustrated with the declining economy “cling to guns or religion” as a means of relieving their stress.
Just months into his term in the Oval Office, Obama told Mexican President Felipe Calderon that the U.S. was to blame for much of Mexico’s drug violence because of firearms that were purchased in America.
“I will not pretend that this is Mexico’s responsibility alone. The demand for these drugs in the United States is what’s helping keep these cartels in business,” Obama told Calderon during a press conference. “This war is being waged with guns purchased not here, but in the United States. More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that line our shared border.”
Back in April, the administration failed in its bid to push through a law that would have mandated licensed gun dealers in the southwestern states to “file reports with BAFTE on all sales of two or more semi-automatic rifles larger than a .22 caliber”.
Given the Obama administration’s open hostility to the second amendment, with Obama himself promising to launch a sneak attack against the second amendment “under the radar” shortly before the details of Fast and Furious were made public, coupled with the highly suspicious methods employed during the program itself, and added to the US government’s history of controlling Mexican drug lords, there seems little doubt that the entire scope of the mission was to launch a false flag against the second amendment, one that has thankfully failed due to the program being revealed by whistleblowers.

Do you think Obama would not have fired Holder if Holder was the one who made the push for guns to Mexica ( using stimulus money signed by obama himself)
Fast and Furious is Obama
I wish Issa all the luck bring the truth to light
not that it will change the Racist Democrats beliefs of Socialist leader/ anti american obamanation clown in charge.
