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.”

Being an incompetent, a coward, and a liar is not a high crime or misdemeanor.

Lucky for Huckabee.

Given a sane world, Huckabee could well be right. However, ....

Cut the crap, Mike. Clinton sold nuclear secrets to the Chinese for a trifling campaign contribution, and he is still regarded as a hero today. This scandal would drive a REPUBLICAN from office. The Kenyan kreep will be with us for many years. Bob

Obama will not be driven from office; the first Black President will not be allowed to fail. He chose Joe Biden as his veep against the possibility of being martyred to prevent such a failure.

Huckabee is an idiot. The “Divine One” could be caught in the act of Sodomizing a twelve year old boy and nothing would happen to him

Not a chance. Nixon was run out by the relentless reporting of the Watergate incident which shaped public opinion.

With 9 out of 10 in the media solidly behind Barry, he will arrogantly ride it out as he has been doing.

Nixon wasn’t as slick as Obama, and not enough Americans today are able to pry themselves away from their juvenile lives.

Plus Nixon’s Silent Majority, left him once they distrusted him.

Sometimes it just takes a mention from someone fairly notable, such as Huckabee, to get something done.

Remember Chick Fil A day not that long ago?

Huckabee started that.

And remember how Obama used the video as an example, to the United Nations, of how Americans needed to be punished, for horrible freedom of speech, when Americans were so horrible as to make this horrible video- that caused such pain and devastation?

Can we get rid of both Zero and Biden at the same time?

And make sure Hillary can never run.
Ted Kennedy's presidential aspirations ended in Chappaquiddick.
I hope Hillary Clinton's will end with Benghazi.
There are many similarities, their incompetence caused a disaster, they left someone to die while only caring about their own behinds and lying about it.
