What do you think should happen? Be specific, and explain the consequences that would result.
If criminal action is taken against Obama, it will be perceived by liberals and many independents as a political prosecution; Republicans will lose in a landslide.
If the Republicans publicize Obama's actions, but no criminal action is taken, the lack of action will be perceived by liberals and many independents as a sign that the accusations are baseless. Again, landslide.
I see no scenario by which the Republicans can benefit by fully exposing Obama's actions. The guy belongs in jail, but patience is required.
As quite a number of other Democrats do for even more serious crimes. Remember the homicide case concerning Vince Foster?
Why is it a taboo to prosecute a 'Rat for a horrendous crime while it's fair game to prosecute a Republican like Scooter Libby for nothing?
Great question to ask. IMHO, I would get all three quotes into a single campaign ad and then ask Obama to explain it. That negates the criminal action you indicated as a possible outcome and snuffs the idea that Republican have taken no action, by allowing time for Obama to explain his stance on the discrepancy.
The back and forth will cause doubt, put Obama in the defensive, cast doubt onto his foreign/domestic(?) ideals and help ...eerrr....undecideds...... see that this is a socialist in an Armani suit.
What do you propose be done, if any?
“I see no scenario by which the Republicans can benefit by fully exposing Obama’s actions.”
How about (at least) - another example of bad judgment AND unseemly, inappropriate behavior. AND unethical. I think all three of these are do-able.
