So true, when did Obama ever hold anyone responsible, including himself?

In firing Tom Price, Trump just did what Obama never could: Accept blame and tell a bureaucrat 'you're fired'

When Mexican drug runners gunned down Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in 2010 with a firearm they bought through the Fast and Furious program, Obama had no knowledge of the situation. Rather than aiding the investigation, the president would later invoke executive privilege to hide documents from a House committee. And Obama never publicly reprimanded Attorney General Eric Holder, let alone fire him.

Same thing happened with the Veterans Health Administration scandal of 2014. After at least 40 patients died waiting in line trying to get care, Obama pled ignorance, ordered an investigation, and signed some reform legislation. He did not fire anyone.

When tax agents targeted conservatives for their political beliefs, violating their First Amendment rights, the president issued a harshly worded statement. IRS Director John Koskinen wasn't fired, reprimanded, or otherwise – nor was Lois Lerner, who was primarily responsible for the scandal as the director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the IRS. She even kept her job after destroying her computer hard drives to hide evidence.

Your excerpts seem to be interestingly chosen. Just like the article itself seems to contradict itself. For instance. First it says this. "Trump just accepted the resignation", to then say this" Trump accepted responsibility. His guy screwed up, and Trump owned up to that failure by firing the guy he chose." Now I know what you are going to say, its just semantics. I agree but then this would be a contradiction.He did not fire anyone. Obama instead had his secretary of health and human services request that the VA's top health official, Robert Petzel, retire — a few months earlier than Petzel originally planned." It then blasts Obama for as the article states "When tax agents targeted conservatives for their political beliefs, violating their First Amendment rights" While the sentence before reads "Trump later fired more than 500 federal employees via executive order." In the end it comes down to the following. You site an article that is so biased it contradicts its own viewpoints in the same paragraphs. And as such your OP fails.

Oh and btw, another thing the article didn't mention about the fast and furious scandal as you call it. " ATF’s current acting director, Ken Melson, will move to Justice’s Office of Legal Policy this week to become a senior adviser on forensic science, the Justice Department said. Dennis Burke, the U.S. Attorney for Arizona who oversaw prosecutions in that state related to the Fast and Furious operation, stepped down and left the federal government.Acting ATF chief steps down

So that too seems to points to your OP being factually wrong.

Holder sold guns to Mexican drug cartels that were used to murder Americans and you don't think he should have been fired?

Yes along with the entire bunch that thought it was a good idea that started under Boosh..

It's Bush's fault that Holder sold weapons to Mexican drug cartels? LOL. Stupid k*nt.

No I said that the guys that worked during Boosh and Obama came up with the ludicrous idea of arming our enemies...

Barack Obama ATF Scandal: 8 Facts About Fast and Furious You Might Not Know

1. The project that became known as Fast and Furious began in November 2009 and took place out of the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) office.

3. More than 2,000 guns were sold to suspected criminals thought to be linked to Mexican drug gangs in the two years of the operation under the Obama presidency.

A similar operation took place years before under the Bush administration. Called "Operation Wide Receiver," it also failed in tracking down gun and drug traffic, Bloomberg Businessweek reported.

Price resigned he was not fired...

Here we go with the k*nt act. Had he not resigned, he would have been fired, k*nt.

If he would have been fired it would be announced that Trump made up his mind on the decision, but the letter of resignation happened before Trump ever stated he would make that decision...Timing is very important....If you ask me, people in govt. that abuse the system should be prosecuted like the average citizen is when they embezzle...

Trump's revolving door policy for hiring and firing is nothing to brag about.

Price offered his resignation and Trump accepted. He was, effectively, fired. But you're a dishonest person so you're trying to spin it, in essence, the k*nt act.

Neither was Obama's loyalty to incompetent, dishonest members of his administration that screwed the American people.

If you resign it is not the same as being fired, it isn't even close when put upon a resume..

Your hyperbole riddled opinion is cute, but does nothing to defend the comedy of errors that is the Trump admin.

Hey k*nt, who did Obama fire? Hell, Obama knew that Hillary was using a private server to conduct official business and Obama did nothing.

Hey k*nt, who did Obama fire? Hell, Obama knew that Hillary was using a private server to conduct official business and Obama did nothing.

Because it was perfectly legal. As for who Obama fired? At most 1 or 2 people, since he hired based on competency rather than loyalty and wealth.

Of course. Hell, even you rubes spent years saying that she secretly ruled the world through foundations and political influence. I'd say that's pretty competent.

Terrible hire. I despised the guy the first time I saw and heard him. He looks and talks like he's in the fucking mafia.

Do you see how easy and honest that is in answering a simple fucking question?

In firing Tom Price, Trump just did what Obama never could

What? Fire 20 of his top advisers and cabinet members for corruption and incompetence in his first 250 days?

Finally, something we can both agree on.
