“It will be a long shot to get him impeached and removed, . . .”

It isn’t going to happen. The Republican House impeached Bill Clinton in 1998, but the Republican Senate did not convict in 1999. On the perjury charge, which should have been a no brainer, only 45 of the 55 Republicans voted to convict. All of the Democrats stood by their Commander in Chief. In today’s political environment I find it difficult to imagine the RINO Republican House Speaker Boehner allowing impeachment hearings under any circumstances. I’m 100% confident Harry Reid and a Democrat majority in the Senate will not convict Barack Obama of anything, particularly if a Republican House impeaches him. It takes a 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict.

With respect to the general staff of the armed forces, Obama has conducted an effective purge of the general officer corps over the past 6 years. The generals he has put in place are politicians who are more loyal to their patron than a 200+ year old piece of paper. Obama and his handlers made examples of McChrystal and Petraeus to show the other generals the penalty for not toeing the line. If Obama tries to assume dictatorial powers, we will find most of them willing accomplices, not defenders of liberty.

It’s a good thing there are so few of them now.

Americans didn’t die during the Clinton impeachment. This is much more serious than Monica Lewinsky. BO will be found to have given the orders of not to help because he’s the only one that could being CIC. This is much, much worse.

Commanders don’t fight if there are no grunts to fight for them, and grunts won’t fight if they think no one in command has their back.
