I don't think President Obama hatched the plan - not the way like for instance Nixon would actually think things up himself.

But Obama did have a conversation with Sarah Brady where he assured her that things were being done to re-intorduce stricter gun laws again, I'm paraphrasing but he insuniated that things had to be done quietly, to try accomplish things under the radar, or covertly.

I don't think that ties him strongly and directly with Gun Runner, but my gut feeling is, he knew about it, he was waiting for Gun Runner to put a huge volume of U.S. Guns into the hands of Mexican criminals, he was also waiting for some official study from BATFE to come out documenting the sheer numer and percentage of U.S. guns, and that would be the launchin point for stricter legislation. He was basically telling Sarah Brady to be patient IMO...
