THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Holder Resigns The news broke this morning that Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning. It's about time. Throughout his time as Attorney General, Holder has been no stranger to controversy. Perhaps the most glaring example is his role in Operation Fast and Furious, which resulted in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. The administration has gone to extreme lengths, including invoking executive privilege, in order to shield us from learning the truth about the gunwalking scandal under Holder. Holder has found himself caught up in racial controversies that have only stoked the flames of racial tension. Holder's Justice Department dropped the intimidation charges against the Black Panthers for their antics outside a Philadelphia polling station in 2008. He inserted himself and his department into the riots in Ferguson, Missouri and subsequent investigation of the police department. And who can forget his comments about Americans being "cowards" when it comes to the issue of race? His DOJ has sued states for their efforts to implement voter ID laws and states attempting to implement voucher programs to give children better educational opportunities. Holder's DOJ was caught searching the phone records of journalists at the Associated Press and Fox News. Sadly, this just scratches the surface of Holder's legacy. Needless to say, the Attorney General has been busy but not in ways I see as helpful to America. Dismantling the "Network of Death" Barack Obama talks tough of destroying ISIS, which he describes as a "network of death." But is he realistic in his strategy and sincere in his words? We are now targeting, with new air strikes, one of ISIS' main money supplies, which is its oil operations. The Pentagon says that ISIS makes up to $2 million every day from its mobile oil refineries in Eastern Syria. It's hard to take Obama's tough words on ISIS at the United Nations as seriously when mixes it in with apologies about Ferguson, Missouri and repetitive assurances that we are not at war with Islam, it is a religion of peace. In his 2013 address to the United Nations, Obama declared that a decade of war had ended and the United States was "shifting away from a perpetual war footing." He declared the world more stable and boasted that al Qaeda was now incapable of carrying out attacks like 9/11. Fast-forward to 2014 and Barack Obama is announcing expanded airstrikes in the Middle East, including on the core of al Qaeda, which was planning an imminent attack against America. Either he wasn't telling us the truth in 2013 or in the vacuum of U.S. leadership and vigilance, things took a rapid turn for the worse. The president's reluctance to call out the radical fundamental nature of these Islamic terrorists is disturbing. His failure to recognize the true impetus of the enemy has left us a day late and a dollar short in addressing their threat. His current strategy may not be enough to deal with the enemy. We'll see if politics and political correctness stop him from doing what is necessary to see us through to victory. We must hope that his world view doesn't make us less safe.
