Top GOP Senator Says Obama Could Be Impeached Over ‘Most Egregious Cover-Up in American History’
The Blaze ^ | May 10, 2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 05/10/2013 7:26:49 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The top-ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said President Barack Obama could possibly be impeached over what happened in Benghazi.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said in a radio interview Thursday that “of all the great cover-ups in history” — including the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra and Watergate — Benghazi “is going to go down as most serious, most egregious cover-up in American history.”

“We may be starting to use the I-word before too long,” Inhofe said on the Las Vegas-based “Rusty Humphries Show.”

“The I-word meaning impeachment?” Humphries asked.

“Yeah,” Inhofe confirmed.

When Humphries questioned the likelihood of impeachment, Inhofe said it wouldn’t be immediate.....

Its a sorry day when you’d be happy for Crazy Joe to take over.

IMO, Uncle Plugs would be far better as "acting" President than what we have. Joe doesn't have the Chicago cabal backing him and would not actaully do anything terribly destrctive to America. He has never said, or does he intend, to "basically transform America". Also, IMO, Obama is not the one who will be impeached but Hillary! Obama can't be touched but Hillary can be made the fall guy for the administration. Obama owes her nothing.

My take on how the evil administration (and their masters Bill & Hillary Clinton) will weasel out of this very damaging testimony? They will simply, and very loudly, arrest several Libyans, any Libyans—and VERY soon.

Bill Clinton, still the beloved leader of the liberal dems, will be a spokesperson who will make a statement something like the following:

“You mean-spirited, racist, mysogynist pin-dick conservatives have been complaining and ranting and making treasonous comments about Dear Leader and my saint of a wife since this Benghazi thing happened. And the whole time these wonderful folks had to bite their tongues knowing that they had a professional, long ranging careful investigation going into catching these Libyan thugs who perpetrated this whole thing!!

Now, as a result of their careful and unrelenting investigation, Dear Leader and my saint of a wife can be sure that these perpetrators will face true American justice, and Dear Leader and my wife can go back to work for the American people, never again to be sullied and dragged down by these republican hacks who have nothing but hate and racism in their hearts for Dear Leader!!”

Democrat party is still the Clinton party, lock stock and Barack. Don’t EVER make the mistake thinking that they aren’t still in charge. Holder, Panetta, Neopalitano, Mills, on and on and on... and of course the evil witch Hillary herself.

Just my take...

Never say never to prayer. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. This is where positive attitude comes in. Positive attitude reinforces that which you believe in. It does more good than bad to think positively...no one’s saying you should act like some Pollyanna, but never give up on God or your beliefs and determination to remove obozo and his evil socialist/marxist/communist/muslim loving cronies. We don't know how, we don't know when but obozo will be gone. Keep the communication lines open with the Lord, and fight like hell for what you believe in. And stop with the defeatism...it only corrodes the mind and your efforts to win the fight. It is a waste of energy better spent on GETTING THE JOB DONE. Remember soldiers of past wars...whatever they felt just before a battle they put aside. and they FOUGHT TO WIN. Let this be an example to reflect on next time one feels like wallowing in defeatism.
Acknowledge your fears, your doubts and get out there and fight!

"According to Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya, special forces were “furious” when they were told to stand down during the Benghazi attack.

Who gave the order? Hicks said he got a call from Hillary and THEN got a call ordering the "no go". The Special Forces people work for the Pentagon not the State Dept. Who had the authority to order a stand down? Hicks never said who the second phone call was from and no one on the committee asked him! Rumor has it that it was from Cheryl Mills (#2 or #3 Hillary clone in State). Why did the Special Forces people obey?

Hicks was asked that during the hearing on Wednesday. He said he didn’t know but thought it was either AFRICOM or SOCOM-Africa.

I’ve often wondered how anyone born in Joe Biden’s era could possibly wind up as an America hating, progressive rat. Makes no sense to me. Imagine the America of his boyhood. How does one come from such an era and sink so low?

You have to consider where in the US he was born and raised, where labor unions were ruling everything.

I first encountered such people when 18 and on an aircraft carrier. Folks from NY, NJ, PA, MI, IL were waaaay different than those of us from TX, LA, OK, TN, SC, GA, etc.

Those of us from the South/Mid-South were considered to be heathens by those from the North/East. The latter groups’ attitudes were adjusted soon, following a few “altercations” in the berthing compartment aboard ship.

I love this man's comment. Let us all hang with brave and and honorable people and think like fighters think. There's nothing wrong with sharing our fears and doubts with others, but ultimately we must be brave and honorable, and ready to stamp out the enemy. Make up your mind, swallow your fears and get out there and defeat this country's greatest enemy to date, and on our shores, no less. The circumstances under which the Greatest Generation of WWII were fighting their war were different than our own, but one thing stands out and that is they were brave and honorable men and women, they loved their country and they were determined to stamp out the enemy. They had their fears, their doubts, like so many other soldiers in wars past, so they bitched and moaned and then they went about destroying the enemy one battle after another. Let them be our guide.

Impeachment? It would be lucky to get 20 votes in the Senate.

Yeah, Toomey would vote "Not Proven" like his predecessor.

If anyone has done any reading on bozo, his family background, Frank Davis, the grooming of obozo by Valerie Jarrett for the position he now holds, they would know that what you've stated is true. If you don't have the reading material, just google to read it up on it, or get a copy of bozo's books from the public library and READ. Socialists/communists/marxists/revolutionaries/muslim sympathizers are pure evil, and they never give up. They've been waiting for this day, and now they hold the power in the White House. Digest this, swallow your fears and work like hell to remove this vermin from OUR White House, our country. Don't know how long it will take, but it will be our job to be ever vigilant long after our job is done...the evil is that insidious.

Before I go futher, here is my own personal experience with Senator Inhofe.

During the base closings of the 90's, the historic Long Beach base was included and closed. The ChiComs wanted to lease that land to expand their shipping capabilities from the Long Beach port.

At the time, China was still hard-core communist and many Patriots did not want to see the ChiComs take over that sacred land. We organized; we fought with letters, faxes, and phone calls (Internet was infant). We were out on the streets with bullhorns and signs telling people not to allow what Clinton wanted. We did it all before anyone here at Free Republic had the chance to make a statement.

I worked with Senator Inhofe's chief of staff on a daily basis. All together, we got an amendment to the defense appropriation bill to stop the ChiComs from buying that property. Bill Clinton had to sign the entire bill, much to his chagrin...being the traitor he was with his cash for tech that was widely known at the time.

For those who are not aware, Bill Clinton took cash from Chinese campaign bundlers named Riady and Wong (sp). He then gave the Chinese the technology to fix their third stage rocket problems. Loral and Hughes (as in Howard Hughes) were the biggest campaign contributors to his election. If not for those companies and Bill Clinton, we would not have inter-continental ballistic missiles facing us right now from China.

Anyway, we shut down Billyboy's efforts to let China Overseas Shipping Company (COSTCO) buy the historic Long Beach Naval Station property.

It was a success and my first introduction to street activism and Senator Inhofe was the lead. Say what you will, but in 1998, he and us street activists lead the way. Old FR names like A Navy Vet (me), Clinton's a Liar, Bob J and I think K9kid were on the streets way before anyone else.

It was one of the few success stories from FR activists. Of course, for the old timers, we also once had something called, "The March for Justice". It was THE first Internet organized event. It also was a success in bringing attention to Clinton's Impeachment hearings. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the Senate to convict. So, for you newbies, there's some history about Senator Inhofe.

We are struggling through sad times when we have a leader who works against the people. I wish that I had the power to get these proceedings started. If any president ever deserves impeachment; it would be him.

Obama should be impeached because there have been too many cover ups concerning terror attacks along with these deliberate maneuvers through his administration in obstructing to violating the constitution. Holder is another person who does not uphold the law. Whenever I see him, I am sorry to say, my thoughts are; he's out to getting whitey.

Armor-clad pigs will fly out of Catherine Zeta-Jones’ arse before Boehner would allow Articles of Impeachment against His Heinous even come to the floor for a vote.

That said, Jesus Christ would convert to Islam before the Senate would ever convict.

It’s ALL politics now. The rule of Law is dead. What we have now is tyranny of the Ruling Class oligarchs and their sycophants.

"... jets could have been on station in under two hours out of Italy . We had NATO assets within 450 miles and the French had assets able to respond. All of these options could have been utilized but only by the President of the United States. He was unavailable and people died."

So that brings up another issue: What is the point of NATO even existing? For those who don't know the acronym: It is North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Why were they not called to defend our Consulate?

Here is a current list of NATO nations that could have responded in accordance with treaty and given authority by the CIC if he had not gone to bed.:

Albania (2009) Belgium (1949) Bulgaria (2004) Canada (1949) Croatia (2009) Czech Republic (1999) Denmark (1949) Estonia (2004) France (1949) Germany (1955) Greece (1952) Hungary (1999) Iceland (1949) Italy (1949) Latvia (2004) Lithuania (2004) Luxembourg (1949) Netherlands (1949) Norway (1949) Poland (1999) Portugal (1949) Romania (2004) Slovakia (2004) Slovenia (2004) Spain (1982) Turkey (1952) The United Kingdom (1949) The United States (1949)

Look to see who were close and could have responded. I lived for 3 years in Rota, Spain (79-82). We had a Marine response team there at that time. I know, because I and my other Shore Patrol buds had to wrestle one of them down after hours. We got shit because he was part of the "ready response team" and should be allowed to blow of steam.

STOP waiting for mere men to do something. Instead PRAY for His intervention. He is the ONLY one who may change ones heart.

God works through human instruments. He didn't just hand us this nation, it required MEN to do something in the face of tyranny and wickedness.

Why should He intervene for this nation? If you hand't noticed, the majority have been given over to strong delusion and we Christians lost the culture to the hedonists and sat on our hands when God & His Commandments were removed from the public square.

Now we have homosexual marriage as a right - and have sat nearly-idle while genocide was perpetrated on an entire generation of Americans in the womb.

Deafeatism? Hell no - it's called reality. Until we repent as a nation - and do II Chronicles 7:14 after we have been chastised (verse 13) - the reality is, we are being given over to a people with a debased mind who hate God, hate our Constitution and hate what we were as a Republic.

We should spray HIS will be done, but I can tell you that upon my reading of scripture - God OFTEN allowed a nation of HIS PEOPLE to become utterly corrupted before He allowed it to be destroyed.

Thank you for saying that! We know the odds are against us, but that has happened before and yet good has triumphed in the end through courage, hope and faith. Defeatism makes it almost certain that the enemy will win.
