Remember that a vote for ANY Democrat in ANY Senatorial contest in ANY state is a vote for Harry Reid. Don't be fooled by Democrats who say they disagree with Obama and the Keystone Pipeline. In the event that the Democrats holds the Senate majority, the FIRST vote they will take is to reaffirm Harry Reid as Senate majority leader. Harry Reid refuses to let these issues make their way to the Senate floor.

Please *do* let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Hard.
Of course nothing from an NPR report about fast and furious, nor Learner and the IRS, or about being held in contempt of congress, or not prosecuting for voter intimidation, etc...
I don't anticipate Holder staying away for too long. Supreme Court nominee, perhaps? Vice-Presidential candidate? He has no skeletons or political baggage to speak of.
In 1983 Rich and partner Pincus Green were indicted on 65 criminal counts, including income tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering, and trading with Iran during the oil embargo (at a time when Iranian revolutionaries were still holding American citizens hostage).[3][9] The charges would have led to a sentence of more than 300 years in prison had Rich been convicted on all counts.[3] The indictment was filed by then-U.S. Federal Prosecutor (and future mayor of New York City) Rudolph Giuliani. At the time it was the biggest tax evasion case in U.S. history.[19]
Hearing of the plans for the indictment, Rich fled[11] to Switzerland and, always insisting that he was not guilty, never returned to the U.S. to answer the charges. Rich’s companies eventually pled guilty to 35 counts of tax evasion and paid $90 million in fines,[9] although Rich himself remained on the Federal Bureau of Investigation‘s Ten Most-Wanted Fugitives List for many years,[21]narrowly evading capture in Britain, Germany, Finland, and Jamaica.[22] Fearing arrest, he did not even return to the United States to attend his daughter’s funeral in 1996.
Until, on January 20, 2001, literally in the final minutes of his presidency, Rich was granted a pardon by Clinton, a pardon pushed through a reluctant judge on the determined “recommendation” of then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder.
Yes, that’s the same Eric Holder who lectures us about race and calls Americans “cowards.” In reality, he was a political bagman, a low rent consigliere whose unquestioning obedience to power was evidently appreciated by Barack Obama and rewarded with the full position of attorney general. Obama knew what he was getting for our number one law enforcement official. With that background, no wonder Holder investigates nothing, leaving “Fast & Furious,” the IRS, Benghazi, all the scandals, untouched, stonewalled or deliberately obfuscated. He was chosen to be a “Good German” and he was one. He spent most of his time inveighing against what he perceived to be racial injustice.
Now I have a theory about the etiology of Holder’s fixation on race. When you know deep down you’re a dishonest person, when you have had to eat the bitter pill of your own corruption who knows how many times (even Clinton finally admitted that he had gone too far pardoning Rich and damaged his own reputation), you have to invent a narrative for yourself to justify your activities. So over may years Holder developed what I have called elsewhere a “nostalgia for racism.” No matter that racism was diminishing in our culture, he had to keep racism alive, believe it was alive. If racism were going away, he would no longer have a raison d’être, an excuse for his biased behavior, an excuse, as it turned out, to go beyond the law, act unilaterally and punish political enemies.
Just reciting the crimes of this Administration sounds ironic.
Just yesterday, the president of the United States — that would be Barack Hussein Obama — stood before the United Nations and heaped praise on Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, a Muslim cleric who has endorsed a fatwa calling for the murder of U.S. soldiers. Yep, Bin Bayyah is Obama’s candidate of the week for the prize of being a “moderate Muslim.” After all, he has had critical things to say about Islamic State and the charmingly named Boko Haram. Obama particularly liked this quotation: “We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace.” Nice, eh? But Bin Bayyah has said lots of other things. Not only has he supported murdering U.S. soldiers, he also, in 2009, issued a fatwa “barring all forms of normalization with Israel.” No matter. The White House under Barack Obama likes “moderate” Muslims like Bin Bayyah.
ISIS is just a junior league threat. Islam shares “common principles” with the West, “principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.” Except infidels. And Jews. And white girls in Rotherham. And French tourists. And American journalists.
What we need now is a new Hercules. But what we have is Barack Hussein Obama. How I wish he would just resign and take up Donald Trump’s offer of free golf for life.
"And now some good news." Bill will really make you proud to be an American with our great accomplishments despite this disaster called Obama. Watch, enjoy, and celebrate.
Good job, Community Organizer. An apology from Obama to Mitt Romney and President Bush is in order. What an unmitigated disaster for America is this pResident.
Holder, remember, prior to his ascension as attorney general, was largely known for two things, both bad: one, he navigated Bill Clinton’s disgraceful 11th hour pardon of the late felon Mark Rich (Rich was in theory facing a possible 300 years in prison for dozens of felonies [including trading with arch-enemy Iran, then holding U.S. hostages] when he bolted, escaped arrest and fled to Switzerland). Then-Deputy Attorney General Holder sidestepped a number of normal Justice Department procedures and failed to disclose that Rich’s wife (later divorced) had already given or would be likely to give $1 million to the Democratic Party, $100,000 to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign, and nearly a half-million dollars to the Clinton presidential library. So much for social justice and the deplorable privilege of the elite.
Something to remember, and repeat when Hillary runs for Queen.
Increasingly, it seems that with a clever combination of lies, guilt trips, illegal campaign contributions from foreign lands, including Syria & Saudi Arabia, and voter fraud, Americans elected a man who would be considered insane in a sane society.
This makes me give the "press" the respect they deserve, zero, for not ever looking into the man's past, or apparently reading his multiple ego driven biographies. ( at least one of which is claimed to have been written by a mass murdering terrorist, Ayers, BY Ayers.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers
Note that Ayers in an interview in 2001 ( ironically on Sept.11 ) said his only regret was not killing more pigs. Also that Barack Hussien Obama got his political start in Bill Ayers living room.
Also that Obama said Ayers was just a guy he knew.... despite Ayers babysitting the Obama children and 7 years working with Ayers for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge project, which they were both instrumental in founding, a group dedicated to getting rich people to donate money to ease their guilt and applying it to "social purposes" and ( my guess and opinion ) use creative accounting to steal. ( based on the lifestyle of the 2 Comrades during that period )
Of course I could be wrong. Obama may not be a fraud in ALL aspects of his life. Have to prove it to me.
I believe Obama when he says he didn't know. The US Intelligence apparatus utterly failed to make Obama attend national security briefings, and so failed to inform him of the threat. Not his fault.
I . . frankly . . . don't think he understands a great deal of the information.
I suspect we will see some major shit in this country, likely in my city, the next year and the shame is going to be that so much it could have been avoided if a bunch of folks, eyes glazed over in some sort of dope induced ideological gaze, simply we're equipped to understand or to deal with.
The White House is focused on fund raising, trying to create some false legacy and getting Valerie Jarret a gig on a game show.
It's like you took a bunch of kindergarten kids and allowed them to eat all the candy they wanted.
At least a lot of the less fortunate are getting free shit and their self esteemed drained away.
Now . . .where's that free phone and tank of gas?
Let me guess . . . until the answer appears on MSNBC . . no one knows.
