Huckabee: Benghazi will drive Obama from office

By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 5/6/13 2:50 PM EDT

Mike Huckabee on Monday predicted that President Barack Obama won’t finish out his second term in light of the “cover-up” of the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and the former Arkansas governor called the affair “more serious than Watergate.” “I believe that before it’s all over, this president will not fill out his full term. I know that puts me on a limb,” the former Arkansas governor said on “The Mike Huckabee Show.” “But this is not minor. It wasn’t minor when Richard Nixon lied to the American people and worked with those in his administration to cover-up what really happened in Watergate. But, I remind you — as bad as Watergate was, because it broke the trust between the president and the people, no one died. This is more serious because four Americans did in fact die.”

Huckabee, however, said his predication about Obama “will not happen” if the Democrats seize control of the House and retain control of the Senate next year.

“If they’re able to get control of the House and maintain the Senate, this will not happen because they won’t let it happen,” Huckabee said.

“And they won’t let it happen not because they’re protecting just the president, they’re trying to protect their entire political party. If they try to protect the president and their party, and do so at the expense of the truth, their president and their party will go down. Now, here’s what I’m going to suggest will happen — as the information and facts begin to come out, it will become so obvious that there was a concerted and very, very deliberate attempt to mislead this country and its people to lie to Congress, as well as to you.”

And as the truth about the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi emerges, Huckabee said, “they will have lost the right to govern.”

“The highest levels of people in the United States government all the way up to the president knew that what they did tell us was not true,” he said. “And they continued to tell it throughout an election season and beyond, and they’ve tried to change the subject. And when the facts come out, they will not be able to stand. They will have lost the right to govern.”

What happened with Benghazi is not a “political issue” — “this goes all the way to the heart of the integrity of the United States government,” Huckabee said.

“When a president lies to the American people and is part of a cover-up, he cannot continue to govern,” Huckabee said. “And as the facts come out, I think we’re going to see something startling. And before it’s over, I don’t think this president will finish his term unless somehow they can delay it in Congress past the next three and a half years.”

See this here says he organized it. But maybe it had already started and he helped push it.

Somewhere between Tuesday and Thursday, Team Obama will need a big distraction away from the Benghazi Witnesses. Wonder what it will be?

Does Syria have aspirin factories?

Boner is close enough to becoming our next president that I should learn how to spell his name.

If that happens, will Kleenex introduce a signature Presidential tissue to commemorate his historical promotion?

Mike is wrong. This is not about trying to impeach Obama.

It is about trying to pre-impeach future President Clinton.

It is imperative that the last shreds of her ego be worn to the bone, that the last bit of her popularity be torn asunder, and that she be made to pay - at least publicly - for her treasonous actions.

Her name and the words failure and treason need to be brought up again and again during the proceedings in order to insure that every sound byte has her failure in it.

In the end, Romney will have caught more crap for his Benghazi debate comments then Obama or Hilary.

Make no mistake, senators. The United States government IS on trial and we are watching.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

The only thing that will make Obaba leave office is...

A golf course.

Not while Obama is driving the golf cart -- with Corker and Saxby in it.

I fear not. No one that “matters” cares. The media doesnt. The elite will protect their puppet. And no one want mad Uncle Joe in the White House.

Unless he has outlived his usefulness.

From your lips to God’s ears.

Of course we would be stuck with court jester biden as Prez but he hopefully will be sitting in the chair in the Oval Office making raspberry sounds while playing with toy planes to do any damage.

Four of us are dead because of BO and he has no acceptable rationale. There should be a huge outcry for at least his resignation. He should be indicted.

If he continues to obfuscate along with his sycophant state run media and airhead spokespeople, it should get worse for him.
