All of a sudden, everyone is talking about the possibility of impeaching Barack Obama.
Drudge is writing about it. Sean Hannity is talking about it. Dick Morris is saying that the potential scandal is "enormous.". Karl Rove called it an "extraordinary charge." WorldNetDaily.com wrote that "it could be grounds for impeachment."
What happened? The story surrounding the alleged bribe of Congressman Joe Sestak initially broke way back in February. We wrote about it then, but it never broke out into the mainstream media. But because of activist pressure and the courageous work of California Congressman Darrell Issa the story refused to die.
ImpeachObamaCampaign.com alone has delivered more than 750,000 petitions to Congress in support of impeachment. Make no mistake, patriotic Americans are driving this sudden turn of events. It is a testament to what can happen when patriotic Americans refuse to look the other way, and they make their voices heard in a real and meaningful way. It didn't hurt that Obama has failed to answer the questions surrounding the attempted bribe of Congressman Joe Sestak.
So did Barack Hussein Obama commit a felony by offering Congressman Joe Sestak a "high ranking" Cabinet position to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate race against Sen. Arlen Specter?
Let's be clear. The commission of an actual felony is not actually required in order to impeach a sitting president, but if Sestak's allegation is true, and if Barack Hussein Obama's fingerprints are all over this offer, that's a felony, and drawing up Articles of Impeachment against Barack Obama becomes a necessity.
According to Judge Andrew Napolitano with Fox News: "Federal law makes it a felony to offer 'anything of value' to an official of the government in return for a decision in your favor by that official of the government; it is called bribery."
And Congressman Darrell Issa has been relentlessly pushing the matter. He's called on Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the allegation, but Holder is essentially ignoring the request.
Recently, Issa directly challenged Holder: "You don't answer or apparently investigate. ... You're not investigating whether it's a false statement by a member of Congress or a crime by the White House. What are we to do?"
Back in February, Sestak confirmed to Larry Kane, a Philadelphia talk-show host, that the White House dangled a "high ranking" job in front of him to convince him to drop his primary challenge against incumbent Arlen Specter.
Initially, the Obama White House denied the accusation. According to a Fox News report: "White House official told Fox News that Sestak is expected to 'clarify' the allegation."
But Sestak didn't take the hint... he didn't "clarify" the accusation.
He stood by his statement and told Fox News: "I was asked a direct question yesterday and I answered it honestly."
Just prior to the Pennsylvania primary, Issa confronted Holder directly, but Holder refused to comment on the case. When Issa questioned Holder on why he had not responded to his request for a special prosecutor, Holder simply said that he thought he had responded to the request and offered his apologies.
Is it possible that Sestak lied, or that he was simply mistaken?
It seems unlikely as White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs issued the following carefully guarded statement to the press: "I'm told whatever conversations have been had are not problematic" and Gibbs added that the matter was "in the past."
Stonewalling... obstruction... but it's clear by Gibbs' statement that someone made Sestak an offer.
Keeping in mind that only Barack Obama has the authority to appoint an individual to his own Cabinet, the only question that remains is: What did Obama know and when did he know it?
The American people deserve an answer.
If you don't understand that our country is ALREADY politically, economically, militarily, medically and culturally damaged beyond repair for decades, you haven't been paying attention.
And even if by some miracel he were impeached they won't vote him out in the senate.
It's all a pipe dream.
Vote em out in 2010 and neuter him. It's our best hope.
It will be interesting to see if the rest of the media, other than Fox, has forgotten about this by Tuesday. Obama administration scandals tend to be forgotten pretty fast. Who remembers the investigator who was fired because he found corruption on the part of one of Obama’s friends, the (black) mayor of Sacramento?
Who wrote this? They are delusional.
I like how they have people out there saying, "Reagan did it too! Reagan did it too!" That means they're scared sh!tless.
Look for mass backstabbings.
BLOOD IN THE STREETS!
To answer the question...No...
Why does anyone think it will, based upon what high crimes and midemeanors???
If no one in Congress is going to vote to impeach, and no one in the Senate is going to go to trial on this alligation, then there is certainly going to be no reason to appoint a special prosecutor to even start and investigation...
So that leaves us with a big goose egg...
Bump for later
Not if newly elected BLACK Tea-Partiers are elected to congress in 2010 and THEY are allowed to lead the charge!

FReegards!
‘clarify’ the allegation.” Fiction writers have to make it sound true it’s going to be a long night.
Floyd Brown? Ha, he is the guy who guaranteed Clinton was going to jail. I am still waiting. Face it friends, no way, not a chance in a billion that Obama will be impeached and convicted in this term or another. Even a GOP landslide will not yield 67 votes for a Senate conviction. Better to concentrate your time and energy on electing the candidates of your choice. The GOP is gonna try and sell you Romney.
.....CLINTON IMPEACHED......
And not convicted and removed. Please explain to me how you get 67 votes to convict in the Senate?
Don@VB, big difference between impeachment and conviction. Extremely doubtful that an impeached Obama would ever be convicted and removed from office.
There are plenty of libtards willing to play the race card; we can’t let that stand in the way of “We, the People...” standing up for what is right.
Impeach and let the SOB bear the stigma.
Walpingate!!! I had TOTALLY forgotten about that scandal!! BRING IT ON!!!
Our cities would BURN down if a BLACK Democrat was Impeached!!
Start with Detroit, DC, LA, and San Fran.
Andrew Romanoff from Colorado, ANOTHER BRIBERY GUY who ADMITTED IT, is still out there and THAT ONE hasn’t even been looked into yet!!!! PIG PILE!!!
Liz.....is there ANY way you can put that info in the SIDEBAR so that Lurkers and the Presstitudes can click on it easliy???? Title it Obama’s Hidden Records and EVERYONE WILL CLICK ON!!! Please.
