Everyone who thinks one of these scandals will remove Obama from the White House is sadly mistaken.
Let's look at Nixon to see what it takes to remove a President.
In Nixon's case, it took a well prepared and knowledgeable witness John Dean, a lot of tape recordings, a press that hated Nixon, and a political party that was the same as the president and somewhat honest and fair minded.
In Obama's case, we have nothing close to John Dean, we have no recordings, the media still likes Obama and the democrat party is ruthless and corrupt as the mafia.
In short, there will be no impeachment. Get over it.
The best we can do is to administer a beating in the 2014 election.
He wouldn’t be impeached regardless...unless by some miracle, the GOP gets a 2/3 (non-RINO) majority in the Senate.
We don’t want a martyr. We want him ruined. Destroyed for all history.
It takes a shred of decency for one to resign from the Presidency. Nixon had it; Obama has no such quality, and will never step down.
Correct. It seemed like staytrue didn’t know that Nixon wasn’t impeached.
Not sure why he was drawing the wrong conclusions, but I knew someone would poit out the obvious.
He is also black which means he ain’t going nowhere
How’s that go again? Never let a scandal go to waste?
We don’t want a martyr. We want him ruined. Destroyed for all history.
Exactly!!
Actually, I know that you’re right.
The Dems were VERY CLEVER in the past week. I heard 3 of their top people do what they did during the very early days of Lewinsky, which was to say the president screwed up and what happened CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED.
So our side figures we have the president on the run...so we run out and start yelling IMPEACHMENT...and we took the bait. Most of the country knows very little about these scandals, but they do hear crackpot-sounding Republicans yelling IMPEACHMENT. At that point, they turn and defend the president. Happened PERFECTLY in the 1990s (removal of Clinton from office never stood a chance, regardless of his felonies), and the Republicans have stepped into it again here.
So what should they have done. Easy. Put it on the Dems, ask them why they don’t have a problem with Benghazi, AP phone tapping, and IRS intimidation. But we don’t make them answer, and so they wind up beating us again...
Nixon also asked that he not get a state funeral. He knew it would be a circus and bad for the country.
I don’t know stay true, but I suspect that he is younger than I.
I suspect if someone conducted “man on the street” interviews that the majority of Americans would answer that Nixon was impeached and that Clinton was not. I was even engaged in a conversation about that with a die-hard Republican who is old enough to know better the other night, and he was confused on the topic.
The press doesn’t cover events accurately, and the schools don’t teach history. No wonder people are confused.
Well if you know all that; why can’t you think of some other way?
Worked out fine compared to NOT impeaching him and doing nothing. Of course we want Obama impeached. The only issue is the fact we do not have warriors willing to do this job. That does not stop us from doing the right thing and demanding the Republicans investigate all of this thoroughly and take it wherever it goes including impeachment.
I hate to say it,but you are EXACTLY CORRECT!!!2014!!!!
Agreed. Nixon was NOT impeached, clinton was.
Just because the rinos sold us out on impeachment-with the help of a complicit media, doesn’t mean we should not have impeached the corrupt slime-ball. Had clinton not been impeached, all the scandals would have simply been forgotten. Impeachment will follow him forever.
The fact that Obama Will Not be impeached is very unfortunate for this country.If there was ever a (P)Resident that needed to be impeached its him.
Obama could nuke Manhattan and still not get impeached.
The DNC media and IRS will ensure he stays as loig as he want to.
And all we will do is post about it.
I agree.
I’m ok with the beating part. Can you arrange a meeting with O for me?
Let's just wait and see what develops.
Our best bet is to take the House and the Senate and nullify this Muslim.
Toss Harry Reid out on his ear and replace Boehner with a man.
