A White House insider has come forward to report that the gun smuggling scandal that has engulfed the ATF will dog Barack Obama for the foreseeable future. The insider told blogger Mike Vanderboegh, who along with National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea broke the story of the growing scandal at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), that the still-developing scenario at the Department of Justice is a story that has the potential of crippling the Administration.

Obama stated yesterday that there was wrongdoing but that he did not give his approval to the scheme to walk U.S. guns into Mexico where they were placed into the hands of drug cartels.

Vanderboegh, however, asked the poignant question, 'But did Obama expresss his DIS-approval of the scheme?'

It has been common knowledge ever since Obama took the White House that liberals are chomping at the bits to pass more gun control legislation but feared to do so because of the clear mandate from voters that America's restrictive gun laws be eased. All it would take, however, for the anti-gun minions to begin their push for gun restrictions is an incident...such as Tucson, or, U.S. guns winding up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

And this places Obama in a most precarious position. Should he now begin to push heavily for gun control using the excuse of U.S. guns-in-the-hands-of-drug-cartels argument, then it will be clear that the President is using a highly tainted scenario as a motive. He will be tarnished by 'Project Gunwalker,' as the scandal is known, by the mere mention of the cartels using American guns. And if he backs off pushing for more gun control, then question then becomes, why? Why suddenly back off when it seems the government has a clear motive for rolling out more restrictive firearms laws? Once again, the answer is 'Project Gunwalker.'
