How they segue from debt ceiling to Fast & Furious is pretty interesting, but nevertheless once again illustrates the story has legs:

Obama's Growing Gun Problem Posted: 8/3/11 10:39 AM ET

Now that Republicans in Congress won important concessions from President Obama in the debt ceiling debate, the next partisan battle is likely to be over what promises to be the first major scandal of the Obama administration: the botched gun sting known as "Operation Fast and Furious (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/30/atf-fast-and-furious-gun-trafficking_n_914064.html)." The administration should waste no time and come clean about what happened, who approved it, and how it can be avoided again.


Unfortunately, the early signs are that Obama is going to handle this controversy as poorly as he handled the debt ceiling debate. ...



The real problem here is that it's not just a political problem, likely a criminal one too.
