Someone mind giving me a quick rundown of fast and furious? I have always heard of it but as much as I hate to say I never bothered to actually seek out info. Hard to go do digging because I know I'll probably be greeted with a million lamestream media articles that can be summarized as "please look the other way this isn't real we promise." It's probably an incident I heard of just never connected it to the catchy name.
"Fast and Furious" was supposedly the codename of an operation to sell guns to Mexico. According to Obama's ATF (when they were in full Cover-Your-Ass Lie-Through-Your-Teeth mode), the operation supposedly had many ways to track the sold guns, so that local police and federal/international agents could map out the cartels and get the guns back. In reality, the ATF broke countless laws just to set up this "operation" by buying/making/rebranding/stealing all the guns, only for the guns to immediately get cleaned of all trackers almost the instant the cartels took them away from the ATF.
We only found out about the entire scandal after the cartels killed a Border Patrol agent, and the gun used in that murder was traced back to those ATF-approved Obama-secretly-approved totally-illegal gun-trafficking deals from that "operation".
He omitted the part where this was all done because the Obama administration wanted an excuse to crack down on gun rights in the U.S., and was pretending that "the cartels buy their guns at gun shows in Murrica!".

Aaaah yeah thank you very much.

That's ridiculous. Thanks for the detailed rundown.
Believe me, despite the insanity of what went down, it's still one of the LESSER crimes committed by Obama and his administration.
Here's a blog detailing ~200 illegal and/or unconstitutional actions done by Obama during his time in/around the White House.
