My biggest question from all of this is, how is this Obama's fault?

So why are you even responding to the thread if you don't know the facts of the case? The facts of the case are not in dispute. Bartle Bull, a longtime civil rights activist and aide to Bobby Kennedy witnessed the whole thing. He was working at the polling place where the incident took place. He said it was the worst case of voter intimidation he had ever seen. He said it was worse than anything he had seen in the south in the 1960s.
The Department of Justice brought charges against the guys who were intimidating voters. It was a slam dunk case. But then inexplicably, the Obama appointees at the DOJ, forced the DOJ lawyers to drop the case. Eric Holder is the AG. He is the head of the DOJ. He was appointed by Obama and he forced the DOJ lawyers to drop this case. That is what the big deal is.
