Eric Holder points finger at his DEPUTY who secretly obtained journalist's phone records as Obama is forced to say he has 'confidence' in the Attorney General
Source
Attorney General Eric Holder went on the defensive on Tuesday explaining why the Justice Department secretly obtained two months worth of reporters' telephone records in an 'unprecedented' search for a confidential source.
'This was a very serious leak and a very, very serious leak,' Holder said at a press conference explaining the department's actions which have been criticized for going against the constitutional right to a free press.
The government is simply too big for President Obama to keep track of all the wrongdoing taking place on his watch, his former senior adviser, David Axelrod, told MSNBC. “Part of being president is there’s so much beneath you that you can’t know because the government is so vast,” he explained.

The Obama administration will not own up to their responsibility in anything, it is always pass the buck, deny and deflect. Even though they are caught red handed they still deny knowledge of any wrong doing.
With that said, they must be looked at one of two ways.
A.) What was promised to be the most transparent administration in American history is one of the most corrupt, deceitful and criminal the American people have ever seen.
B.) This administration is completely inept, incompetent and lacks even the basic skill set to solve any political and social problems, in which case, they should all step down immediately.
One of the two has to be true, so.... Which one is it?
I suspect ats is a user base of some of the most politically informed people, yet how many here have taken the time to write their reps and demand better?

Once they are elected they are IN!!! Period! I have written many letters (emails) to my so called representatives and all I get back is some BS form letter that tells me in "political rhetoric" what they are doing for me! YET!!!! Not one letter I get back from them, (and yes, I check that I want a reply back when I send them my concern) actually addresses the topic of my original question!!!!
I'm sorry, but I have no faith in my government officials whatsoever! Voting is nothing more than an "illusion of choice" and before we elect them, they are "one of us", if we elect them, "they will do this and do that"! Yet when they get elected and we have the nerve to question them, they treat us as a nuisance and send us form letters that don't even address our original questions......
I write hand written letters on my companies letter head, I have a stack of blanks written out to each of my reps, local, state, and federal.
I can count on one hand the times I've gotten a real response, yet I keep up, why? Because it is my duty as a citizen of this republic to try and get my voice heard.
There are really only two options left after that fails to get your voice heard, run yourself... Well the other I won't type on an open forum...
