Midknight Review -- new and revised: Some think Holder is about to be fired. But how can that be? Time has closed in on the election. Any "firing" on the part of Obama will only look like election year politics.

<<<< Obama's arrogant refusal to cooperate with Congress, his declaration that he will not obey subpoenas coming from the House "because of the partisan nature of the subpoena process," and his belief that the passing of time will solve most of his PR problems, is about to come back and haunt the man . . . . . just in time for the elections.

The Daily Caller is carrying a story about the potential firing of Eric Holder. There is no strong evidence for this possibility, only a suggestion from one of Holder's most persistent critics, South Carolina's Trey Gowdy. Understand that the House committee in charge of the investigation of Fast and Furious. initially subpoenaed Holder back in the dark ages -- October 12, 2011, seven months ago. Since that time, Holder has simply refused to obey the subpoena, declaring that he has complied with the spirit of the subpoena -------- as if his opinion as to his compliance was, somehow, important in a determinative sense of the word.

While Rep. Gowdy and others, see no alternative for Obama, but to let Holder go, I cannot imagine Obama going that route. For one thing, this is nearly June - far too late to avoid damage to Obama's campaign, over the Holder mess. While Holder's continued presence as Attorney General, will only serve as a reminder of the tragic loss of life because of Fast and Furious, to fire Holder, now, would be tantamount to a de facto admission of guilt regarding Holder and [perhaps] complicity on the part of Obama. Rather than deal with this problem a year ago, Obama has chosen to ignore the issue, hoping against hope that the whole matter would simply go away.

Now, as of yesterday, 142 House Democrats have joined the posse on the prowl for those elusive Holder documents. Obama has painted himself into a corner, and now, it is too late to move away from the firestorm. He is going to get burned, and the fire was finally lite, with the House vote, yesterday.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
