Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) suggested that President Obama could be impeached over what he alleged was a White House cover-up after last year’s attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview Thursday with “The Rusty Humphries Show” that impeachment would become an issue soon over the “greatest cover-up in American history.”
“People may be starting to use the I-word before too long,” Inhofe said.
“The I-word meaning impeachment?” Humphries asked.
“Yeah,” Inhofe responded.
“Of all the great cover-ups in history — the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them — this ... is going to go down as most egregious cover-up in American history,” Inhofe said.
When Humphries suggested that the Democratic-controlled Senate would not impeach the president, Inhofe said that was true. He said that Benghazi would "endure" and impeachment could come after the 2014 midterm elections, when Republicans hope to retake control of the upper chamber.
Republicans have accused the Obama administration of changing the “talking points” about last year’s attack in Benghazi for political gain in the heat of the 2012 presidential election.
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in the attack on the U.S. Consulate there.

‘Not saying impeachment would ever happen, but we need to go for the throat on this one. Expose the regime’s corruption.

Jay Carney is starting to remind me of Bagdad Bob.
“There are no American Forces at the airport. They’ve all been killed. Thousands of Americans have been slaughtered. Americans have not entered Bagdad. Our forces have been triumphant.......I gotta Go!”

More wishful thinking
Here is what I don’t understand about the White House caluculus regarding the attacks. Yes. Zero had stated that Al Qaeda was on the run. He was gloating about Osama. But, for two months prior to his re-election, he could have spun the attacks to his favor. He could be seen as the CIC. He could have actually acted like he was in charge. Instead, he covers up for a silly set of statements that no one really paid any attention to? There is something else much more sinister here.
Wrong, impeachment happens in the House, the case is then tried in the Senate.
I was under the impression that the House impeaches and the Senate tries.
Let the House GOP impeach. Any Senator not voting to convict is political toast
The GOP better not wuss out on this like they did on Eligibility
Not bloody likely.
Even if the ‘Pubbies hold the House, there are not enough votes for Impeachment to get a “simple majority.”
And the Senate ‘Pubbies would mostly vote with their buddies, the Democrats.
When MSNBC mentions it, the bell is tolling...
Go for it....This was a deadly heart attack compared to the hang nail known as Watergate.
I doubt the Republicans will go after him for that. If anything the Republicans are mad at Obama for bungling the job and letting the cat out of the bag.
Of course it was a hit..and the scary part is not that Obama did it, I always knew he was capable of murder..it is what he is..what is truly scary is the media covering for him..THAT is the truly scary part..your taking a narcissistic President and making him invincible because he knows he can do ANYTHING and get away with it because he has the media in his back pocket
We all know the son-of-a-bitch will NEVER be convicted of anything with the current senate.
But we can sure put his sorry ass in a sling for the next 4 years. Keep em bogged down with hearings until eternity.
There is something else much more sinister here.
