Is Obama afraid of the truth?" gun rights expert John M. Snyder asked in a statement released Tuesday. Snyder, who serves as an advisory board member of the National Association of Chiefs of Police and as Vice President of the Firearms Committee of the American Federation of Police and Concerned Citizens, believes, as others do, that President Barack Obama and his minions are getting a free ride from the denizens of America's broadcast and print newsrooms who are loath to criticize Obama or administrators. Not only is the Obama administration responsible for a staggering budget deficit, the President and his underlings are also responsible for a truth deficit, say police and military veterans.
"At least a couple of recent developments lead to this kind of speculation," Snyder continued. "One is Obama's refusal to consider the charge that the Justice Department report on the Fast and Furious federal gun running scandal is a whitewash. Another is Obama's Pentagon attempt to silence professional military criticism of his policies."
Snyder noted that the ongoing Fast and Furious scandal involves the top officials Justice Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. ATF allowed straw purchasers of thousands of guns in the United States to move them illegally into Mexico. The guns ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Many reportedly were used in the commission of horrendous crimes, including the murder of American federal law enforcement personnel.
"The Justice Department released recently a report on Fast and Furious that exonerated Attorney General Eric Holder," Snyder pointed out, "even though Holder has been held in contempt of Congress by the House of Representatives for his refusal to produce documents demanded by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in its investigation of the scandal. Obama publicly has rejected criticism of Holder and the charges that the Justice Department report is a whitewash."
Snyder said that, "The whitewash news came as reports of Obama's Pentagon told retired military officials to stop negative criticism of Obama. As elections examiner Jim Kouri revealed, this report came as a result of pronouncements by 'Navy SEALs, intelligence officials, and others, such as Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund, who are highly critical' of Obama.
"Kouri, who has trained police and security officers throughout the country, wrote that several veterans say they 'are used by the president all of the time as stage props so that he can look like a Commander in Chief and we have no choice but to stand there and pose in the background,'" said Snyder.
"Obama," said Snyder, "appears to have a problem with reality, with truth. What's he afraid of? What's he trying to hide? Why not let it all hang out?"
On 60 Minutes on Sunday, Barack Obama likened the murder of a U.S. Ambassador and three other Americans to a "bump in the road," said political consultant and attorney Michael Baker.
During his interview on 60 Minutes, Obama said: "I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal rights — a notion that people have to be able to participate in their own governance.
"But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam," said the Commander in Chief.
