Dennis Kucinich: Obama's Libya Attack An Impeachable Offense
Associated Press ^ | March 21, 2011 | Benjy Sarlin

A number of Democratic and Republican lawmakers are concerned about the White House's air assault on Libya, but Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) raised the rhetoric to 11 on Monday, suggesting President Obama should be impeached.

"President Obama moved forward without Congress approving. He didn't have Congressional authorization, he has gone against the Constitution, and that's got to be said," Kucinich said in an interview with Raw Story. "It's not even disputable, this isn't even a close question. Such an action -- that involves putting America's service men and women into harm's way, whether they're in the Air Force or the Navy -- is a grave decision that cannot be made by the president alone."

According to Kucinich, Obama's decision "would appear on its face to be an impeachable offense," though he questioned whether Congress would ever move forward with a trial in practice.

As reported earlier by Politico, Kucinich raised the specter of impeachment in a conference call with Democratic lawmakers on Saturday.

The Hypocrisy coming from the left about the attack on Libya is breath-taking.

I think kookcinuch is an idiot, but I can respect him for standing up to his hypocritical leader.

Don't you just love it when the rats become cannibals?

He has finally come to the conclusion that Republicans did over a year ago. Kick his sorry, Marxist ass to the curb NOW.

Kucinich is blowing smoke. If the Republicans in the house drew up articles of impeachment Kucinich would yell “Racist!” at the top of his sissy voice.

at least he is standing by his views unlike many on the left and the corrupt media

Bush went to congress to get votes for war.
Obama takes the mother in law and family on our dime to Rio and wages war.

To the corrupt media Bush was an illegal war.
Obama is doing good and we’ll spin it for him even though we have no clue who the rebels are, what the end game is and he never went to congress as the constitution says he should

Well done Dennis at least you have core principles even though I disagree with you 995 of the time but you’re dead on with this one .

For the hypocrites who slated Bush but not obama, you’re just idiots who stand for nothing and that goes for most of the corrupt media and some at FOX too

God bless the little alien.

Bring the charges and throw it to the Senate and see what they have the stones to do. I say the 24 hour news cycle needs a change of pace. Japan is cleaning up and the war is already boring. Lets at least subpoena his BC. It would be worth it just to watch Mathews pee down his leg.

Kucinich actually understands money and banking issues and he was one of the few in congress who grasped what was going on in Yugoslavia early on in 99. He’s not your average kook.

Dennis is right, you don’;t go on vacation with the mother in law and family and the wage war.

TYhe GOP should be demanding that obama gets back here and explain why he has gone to war, why he did this and why he never got the votes.
yes MO might not be happy but so what her and her mother are spending our tax money on their vacations and we have a right to say no more

but the GOP stay silent because they’;re cowards, most of talk radio are cowards because many cannot say much about obama either or they cannot talk about conservative social issues
course they’ll be wanting our money and votes, ARF

Good on ya. Acting as a supporter, I called Lynn Woolsey’s office this morning and asked the staffer if Woolsey would soon publicly condemn Obama’s illegal war on the Libyan people. She said: I’m not sure...do you think she should? I said: yes, Kucinich is already out there and Lynn needs to be consistent, since she was so strong in condemning Bush’s illegal wars. “OK, thanks, I’ll pass it along!”

LOL! You don't even get to ride in the back of the bus anymore Dennis. You're under it now. Just retire and take those lifetime benefits and that pretty new wife of yours for a ride on Willie's bus.
