(ABC NEWS) Asked about the Fast and Furious program at the Univision forum on Thursday, President Obama falsely claimed that the program began under President George W. Bush.
“I think it’s important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration,” the president said. “When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it. We assigned a inspector general to do a thorough report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did initiate this were held accountable.”
In actuality, the Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency.
HuggerMan4U: If we have a president who can't remember the simplest details of his administration, then why is he even in office in the first place???!!!
thats simple, lies! Lies the main stream media supports.

Leave it up to UNIVISION forum to Ask OBAMA the TOUGH QUESTIONS!!
Forget about leaving that task up to our American Mainstream Media, who are Totally "in-the-tank" for OBAMA!!
First, have you ever taken the time to notice that our so-called journalist/reporters in America (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Washington Post, LA Times, MSNBC and among others) NEVER, EVER attempt EVEN to confront/question Obama about the countless lies (spins) he has told the American people??...people that elected him??
Whenever he PROMISES Americans SOMETHING, and FAILS MISERABLY!!! NOT A PEEP OUTTA THEM! Sure, you'll NEVER hear ANYTHING from our dear, lovable Liberal Media about this because he is, their "boy blunder."
Obama has talk very often about "leading from behind" on certain matters...What the HECK is THAT!?? Shouldn't YOU (OBAMA) be leading from the TOP"??? Here we have a President that can ONLY give HIMSELF a GRADE of "INCOMPLETE", NO LETTER GRADE OF ANY KIND FROM HIS PAST FOURS YEARS of failures and/or accomplisments as OUR PRESDIDENT! Can he EVER ADMIT and take RESPONSIBILITY for his INEPTITUDE!!?? Kinda of reminds me of him voting "PRESENT" on bills being voted upon in Congress, as Senator Obama!
