      #6> - Communism has "officially" entered the United States via the White House. President Barack Obama has signed "executive privileged" to not turn over our documents, the peoples documents to Congress. Move over Richard Nixon, your replacement has arrived and his name is Barack Obama, the Messiah and Ruler of the Land now know as Communist America.

      The President has now shown us, the people, Democrats, Republicans and Independents that He has something to hide and was involved in this Fast & Furious cover-up. Now we all know what "flexible" really means.

      This is correct. George W. Bush invoked executive privilege six times. And to be fair, Bill Clinton invoked it 14 times, George H.W. Bush once and Ronald Regan three times. This was Obama's first time.
