Barack Obama on impeachment: 'Really?'(“I don’t have to run anymore, so I can just let it rip”)
The Politico ^ | July 10, 2014 | Edward-Isaac Dovere, senior White House reporter

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Go ahead, President Barack Obama told House Republicans Thursday. Impeach him.

“You hear some of them: ‘Sue him! Impeach him!’” Obama said in a relaxed, sniping campaign-style speech in Austin, Texas, recounting the resistance he’s run into for signing executive actions. “Really? For what, doing my job?”

So punchy that he was leaning arms hanging off the front of his podium, telling a few hecklers to “sit down,” and instructing the Secret Service not to bother removing them, Obama said he was feeling liberated.

“I don’t have to run for office anymore, so I can just let it rip,” he said.

And rip he did, after days of Republicans beating him up for not doing anything on the border but refusing to pass the money to pay for what he wants to do on the border.

For months, Democratic polling has shown that when Obama says “Congress,” people hear “Republicans.” Thursday, he made that explicit, saying that while Democrats in Congress aren’t perfect, he believed Americans knew it was Republicans who weren’t on their side.

“The best thing you can say about” the House GOP, Obama said, is that, so far this year, “they haven’t shut down the government. … But it’s only July.”(continued)

The lies are incalculable. Every fiber of his being is a lie. His name is a lie. His back story is a lie. Every waking moment of every day of his life is a lie.

He doesn’t tell lies. He’s become the living, breathing embodiment of the lie. He is the lie made flesh.

I wish he'd hurry up and do it. I'm tired of him.

Obama can say “that” ... because he knows “this” ...

We can thank the “continuing control” of the Senate by the Democrats - to those who want to “teach a lesson” to some in the GOP. I don’t know who is the one who is getting the “worse end of the stick” here ... those in the GOP who are “learning the lesson” —OR— those who are “doing the teaching” ... :-) ...

Barry has been “lettin’ it rip” for the past 6 years. That’s why this joint smells so bad.

I have never heard a president speak this way every single day about the opposition party. He insults them daily. It’s unpresidential, immature and embarrassing.

Exactly - he’s a punk. And classless. When I see our former presidents in documentaries, I am just wistful. Of course, I’m wistful for ANYTHING that shows American how it was, even just ten, fifteen years ago.

LMAO! Flatulence was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the words ‘let it rip’.
