Obama Aide Says Impeachment Threat Taken Seriously
AP ^ | July 25, 2014 | AP

One of President Barack Obama's top advisers says the White House takes seriously the possibility that House Republicans could pursue impeachment of the president.

Senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer told reporters Friday that the GOP has already "opened the door for impeachment" by contemplating suing the president over his use of executive authority. He says that any further executive action Obama may sign this year on immigration will "up the likelihood" of Republicans pursuing that path.

He needs to meet the same fate as the Rosenbergs did. If we let him live in a jail cell, he still has the power to incite other Marxist revolutionaries. Only by judicially executing Hussein Soetoro can this nation prove that its laws against treason are enforceable.

Impeachment would be great, but everyone has to be on board when it comes to conviction.

The Senate would have to do their job with no thought of what it might do to their careers.

Sorta like our Founders who hung together despite the threat that they might just hang separately.

Impeachment would take away from the disaster that is Obama. He would spend all of his time carping about racism, right-wingers, an uncooperative Republican Congress, blah, blah, blah.

Absolutely. Pfeiffer's comment is a "Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly" invitation. Any move to impeach would infuriate the Progressive base and bring them out in droves this Fall. This administration uses alleged racism as its primary political weapon and a move to impeach would assure them continued majority in the Senate.

Obama would wear impeachment by the Republican House like a badge of honor. He knows the Senate won’t follow through, so his kingship isn’t in jeopardy. Bet on him doubling down to accomplish his ideological goals, and do as much damage to this country as he can before he has to leave.

The EXEMPT complicit RINO Princes:
"Impeachment? We would inflict quartering with swine flu, tuberculosis, whooping cough, measles, scabies,
chicken pox, and worse on our stupid voters before we would even daily, seriously criticize
our beloved Indonesian King who has made us, and our staff and just OUR families .... EXEMPT.

This administration threw out the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They no longer apply. We’re now governed by a phone, pen and a Kenyan.

“His hundreds of Executive Orders can be nullified. His minions can be fired at 12:01 January 21st, 2016 and that entire White House can be cleaned from his presence and his memory.”

But his smell will still remain.

What a load of crap. Impeachment is NOT going to happen and they know it.

This is all about hustling their stoooopid supporters for more cash.

All this impeachment “talk” is

1. a waste of time.
2. detrimental to Republicans - because it is JUST TALK

To quote Tuco in the Good, Bad & Ugly:

“If you have to shoot, SHOOT. Don’t talk...”

This is all a bunch of ROOSTERS ruffling up their tail-feathers in order to APPEAR tough against obama for the SOLE purpose of getting OUR votes in 2014.

That is ALL it is.

Besides, the American people as a whole need to see A crime committed before it will support an impeachment.

Yes, we on the right understand that the crime is being committed in the regime’s constantly chipping away at our Constitution and the American way.

But the left and the undecided see no “crime” being committed; they see poor barry just tryin to do his job and we mean old, racist Republicans trying to crucify him for no good reason.

Impeachment is merely the US House of Representatives asking the US Senate to examine the performance and behavior of the President of the US. Could the Democrats try to use an impeachment to affect politics? Sure, but they are already using the Presidency to affect politics. We can do nothing and see how far they’ll go. The Democrats are greedy as hell. They’ll go for a lot.

Well, yes... but I hear there is a new product out there. It’s called Cat Urine Destroyer.....I’m hoping that would take care of it.

Time to skip impeachment and just forcibly remove and incarcerate.

Boehner is "talking" about impeachment and Obama "pretends" to take it seriously. This falls right in line with what each desires and will dutifully play their roles to accomplish.

The money quote wasn't even well hidden between the lines:

He says that any further executive action Obama may sign this year on immigration will "up the likelihood" of Republicans pursuing that path

The various implications, manipulations and propaganda in that one comment are typical.

In a just and honest world, Obama would be impeached and removed from office. Sadly, the United States and especially its democrats left justice behind many years ago. Obama will never be removed from office, so there is no point in giving democrats the talking point by trying impeachment. Let’s stick to minimizing the damage to our country from his evil agenda.
