What was the name of Bushs plan like fast and furrious and when was it discontinued?

Someone is telling me that Fast and furrious started with Bush but I know it was under another name and was discontinued prior to Bush leaving office so the Obama administration should have some knowledge of fast and furrious.

    Wide Receiver. I don't think it was discontinued, it just got picked up and renamed by the Obama administration. Regardless of when it originated, it was a poorly conceived and implemented program.

    It was similar, but Bush kept his guns trackable and it didn't turn into the fiasco that it did under Obama. When one of Bush's guns was made untrackable they stopped the program right away. Don't remember the name.

    Wide receiver was a much much smaller version of fast and furious--and in wide reciever they actually kept track of the weapons and kept them out of the hands of the drug cartels.

    Big difference, no?

    apples and oranges liberal...it was smaller, it was TRACKED, it was discovered to be faulty, it was stopped and certainly it wasn't covered up and lied about...in addition, since there wasn't anything to be prosecuted, no one was made a scapegoat.

    Obama is a con artist, marxist and liar

    bush is none of those...

    simply put NO COMPARISON...PEROID.
