Topic: White House: Republicans May Push to Impeach Obama If They Get the Chance (Read 2165 times)

Update: House Speaker Boehner rules out impeachment: ‘Scam started by Democrats’

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/29/boehner-rules-out-impeachment/

The thesis is either correct or Boehner folded like a lawn chair on this.

Their (governments') power is not absolute, if they make too many mistakes, or too serious ones, they will eventually lose the power they presently hold. So, nolence volence, they have to take notice of reality beside them and look who is behind them.

Like I said if that's the kind of people leading this country and other countries it's probably about time that we launch the nukes and cancel ourselves off the Earth - we can only go downward from here.

If they don't admit to mistakes, this doesn't in the least mean that they don't make them!

So, when shrinking from admitting mistakes, they choose the lesser of the two evils, hoping that their mistakes will either go off unnoticed or get buried under the piles of demagoguery and the torrents of lies.

If the congress can't impeach Nixon, Clinton and Bush, I can't see how they can impeach Obama.

So then playing into the American idiot, since no members of Obama's administration (and few of Bush's) have admitted to making mistakes does that mean the American people see them as fit for the job?  Given Congress has less than a 15% approval rating obviously Congress' "lack of mistakes" is not preventing them from being disliked?

Not admitting to mistakes can only help them, but not necessarily hurt them?

This is not a matter of whether I believe this or not, and to what degree. It is a given fact. People usually try to blame anything or anyone but themselves for their wrongs or wrongdoings. Any yes, if you don't admit a mistake, you won't be able to learn from it, but this would inevitably pose you to a question if you're fit for the job you've taken up. And people around you would obviously ask the same question.

You honestly believe that?  Well actually that might be true.  Obama got elected, I believe, to people who thought he could produce rainbows and unicorns.  To those same people an admission that a politician has made a judgement mistake would be grounds for dismissal then?  If Americans are that messed up then we might as well open up the silos and nuke ourselves and replace humanity with a better species.

If you can't admit you made a judgement mistake, you can never admit you learned from it.  People don't typically learn much from successes.

To admit a mistake would be equal to admitting that you're not fit for the job you've been elected for or appointed to, and are taking someone else's place who would do the work better.

Janet Reno made a mistake and admitted to it.

Holder lets so much crap slide by.  Couldn't you say he had the blood of border agents on his hands with the gun running?

Name me one official cabinet member that Obama appointed that admitted to making a mistake.  Not even committing a crime - just making a mistake that we as humans make.  I'm a physician and I admit I make mistakes all time time - most of them fortunately are stupidly little clerical mistakes and not mistakes that effect my patients.  Just today I called myself stupid in front of the nurses.

Susan Rice is the perfect example of how proud this administration is - both sides agree she was wrong when she parroted the video message on the weekend talk shows.  Republicans say she did it intentionally.  Democrats say that's the best intel we had, until CIA said otherwise.  At no time since the CIA press release did she say she made a judgement mistake.  It's not criminal to make mistakes usually - certainly not for opening your mouth on a Sunday morning show.

Even Bush - I haven't heard him say that in retrospect Iraq was a bad move.  I don't think politicians will ever admit to mistakes - especially the bad ones.  It's how Obama can go around and give himself a grade of A- at the end of his first term    The only thing he would get an A- for is press puppet mastery - had he "enchanted" Fox he would have been an A+!

The last thing i am is an Eric Holder fan, but im 99% sure he wakes up everyday proud not being compared to "murder" Reno.

Isnt she scaring children for a living these days?

Well in the past we have seen cases where there has been clear destruction of evidence by companies and as a result the people who committed crimes were not able to be prosecuted - Enron and Solyndra for example.

The problem with the IRS scandal is that the absolute KNOWN highest part of government in this country, essentially what would amount to the Hand of the King if you're a Game of Thrones person, is the Attorney General. The last time I saw a decent AG was Janet Reno.  She was one of the few people in government who actually apologized for making a mistake (in the Waco, TX incident).  When was the last time you saw an official admit they made a mistake - not admit they were sorry they got caught doing something stupid like Anthony Weiner.

If Eric Holder is not willing to clear the IRS and settle the matter it will linger like a dormant cancer.  The only person who can show the light on government malfeasance would be government workers (doesn't seem to be any whistleblowers here) or the DOJ itself - and Eric Holder has already show himself to be Obama's lapdog. He's no Janet Reno.

We're waiting for the democide (a government mass-murdering its own citizens), another shot heard around the world, to begin.

I agree that Obama would likely make any impeachment about race just like he has done for many things that have nothing to do with race.

I would say that once the new Obama care health premiums are set for next year a lot less people will support Obama and hopefully republicans will have won sufficient senate seats to control the senate. If is is the case then Obama may very we'll be impeached as he would be very much unpopular and he has clearly broken the law several times while in office. If the GOP does not win the senate then impeachment would have no purpose because Harry Reid would not allow it to even come to a vote on the senate floor and even if it did then he would not be voted out of office by the crazy liberals. 

The republicans don't have the stones to do what should have been done a long time ago. Most of them are complicit with it anyway.

Sadly the founding father philosophy is lost for most of the citizen. that's why every people against current American politic for whatever reason should support Bundy who stand against tyranny.

Answer is quite obvious since american citizens have enough weapons to change anything in their political system. So, I have more interesting question, why do they need these weapons if they're not trying to use it for the purpose? Isn't this ridiculous?

Ahh yes, the Republicans are still wasting people's time and money making the US government as shitty and ineffective as possible. Why actually do your job to make the country better for the public when you can serve your corporate overlords and prevent the government from functioning. Not that the Democrats are that much better, but at least they didn't put the government on shutdown and waste the last year or more trying to find a reason to remove the President.

I'm hesitant to even try to impeach until after the midterm elections and even then, Obama and his media would jive up his base that are sitting back right now by using skin coloring issue. It's almost like a Catch-22 but the bleeding needs to stop and it seems Obama is racing full speed ahead to transform America to his final stages before he's out of office. At minimum, the republican leadership needs to shut the purse off if they're serious about stopping this out of control spending and deterioration of most aspects of what's going on now.

It has not been proven that the WH and/or Obama were behind the IRS targeting yet. Once a solid link to this scandal and the White House can be established Obama will likely be impeached within a week.

That would mean absolutely nothing for our day lives.

Who is that one wizard? Oh, let me guess, it is Putin!

But she is also not stupid when it comes to politics.  She may say stupid things like the Bosnian sniper fire and being broke after leaving WH, but she knows Bill is the only reason she got to where she is today.  And he is happy to be a mouthpiece for her now because he still gets to keep his celebrity status.  Bush 1 and Carter stay low key - Bill, not so much - he's a ham.

Hillary would run for presidency only to take revenge on her faithless husband (so expect more confessions coming from under the table after/if she is elected ). If her actions would wreak havoc on the whole world, that couldn't bother her less. She is old and fixed on one thing only deep inside her mind.

"Hell has no fury like a woman scorned".

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?  Who said anything about targeting conservatives.  I said targeting Americans.  Conservatives are Americans.  Liberals are Americans.  Pagans are Americans.  Vegans are Americans.  I don't give a rats ass what group they are unless they're waging war against the country.  The IRS targeted predefined groups.  If the Republicans or Tea Party got into the White House and put their own AG into office the same crap is going to happen - it's a complete violation of the public trust.  They are no longer OUR SERVANTS - they would be serving their own interests!

Do you realize how partisan hack you look?

I'm darker skinned than Obama and while I do have some issues with cops I generally realize they come home to their wife and kids every night and sleep in the same neighborhoods that I do.  I can't say the same for Congress, Senate or Obama.

BTW you do know most police force unions in America donate to democratic parties for increased union strength don't you?

Bush could have been impeached if we can find a credible source showing he knew Iraq had no WMDs (including chemical) but stated otherwise.  It doesn't help that Powell pushed for the agenda and Powell is an Obama cheerleader now.

What Bush could be impeached for was trampling Constitutional rights with the Patriot act, but that's not going to happen since Obama pushed those even further.

But we don't have a time machine, we can only work with what we have now.  If you want to hall Bush off to Nuremburg by all means go ahead.

As if we have a choice to not "elect" the worst possible evil, when their minions count the votes.

So basically it's only when the IRS and law enforcement targets conservatives that you actually do anything about it? Don't you realise how pathetic and petty that makes you look? I'm white and I find it outrageous that law enforcement have been specifically targeting ethnic groups in your country as well as mine.

Bush should have been impeached before Obama and you should never have let Obama get elected in the first place or Mitt Romney.

Forget gun running, forget Benghazi (because ONLY 4 Americans/Ambassador died), forget Solyndra, forget Begdahl.  The outrageous abuse was the targeting of Americans by the IRS.  This is an attack on Americans by it's own government.  The fact that more Democrats (and even apathetic Republicans) don't cry out about this is disturbing.

Apathy has set in.  If that's the case nothing that goes on at the top is anything more than political theater.  For all we know it can all be a puppet show run by 1 wizard.

For the record, Obama is only half Black.
And come on...your not willing to give credit to McCain and Palin for helping Obama get elected?
Not even a little credit...

I think OJ Simpson / Rosanne Barr ticket might have beaten those two numbskulls in '08

Yes, and he is backed by George Soro.

The real reason Obama was elected in both elections was because he is Black. He used the race card to get elected.

Obama is breaking the law by spending money that was not authorized by congress and by issuing executive orders that he does not have authority to give.

I think they learned from the Clinton debacle that unless the abuse is really just outrageous that trying to do this is foolhardy.  All it will do is give the media a chance to rally around Obama and energize his base for elections.

@beetcoin

it's not a generation's fault really. it's what government and corporations are doing, playing welfare with the wealthy. if anything, this generation is getting royally screwed over by the outrageous spending and corruption.. it's not the cause of it.

and illegal immigration has actually fallen. it's just the media that is pumping up this "eminent threat of illegals."

immigration (thru legal means) has fallen.
There is really no way to measure the number of illegals.

To get back to Obama, what would impeachment actually accomplish?

If a factory pumps poison into the air people breath, it makes no difference who the manager of the factory is.
You can put on a new suit every day, but if you havent taken a bath in 30 yrs...you get the point.

The political system is a joke. Its actually a single party system, your choice of parties is only smoke n mirrors.

I think one HUGE first step in the right direction would be:
In order to have a position to make policy/laws, individuals need to free from any and all religious insanity.

Scientists not right wing religious fanatics.

George W. Bush once said, everyday i ask God for advice..
Time to impeach god.

Who cares about the gender or race of any President? I just wish this country would elect a person who puts the USA first like jobs, protect our border, health car and our fighting men and women who give everything when the rest of us give back nothing.

The USA could once again become a really great nation with the right leaders and the guts to make the smart decisions that don't just put money in there pockets while all the rest of Americans suffer for their stupid selfish policies. I am glad to be part of Bitcoin, maybe it will help to bring some of these politicians to there knees.

Every living president and most of the dead ones should have been impeached the day after their inauguration. Shit or get off the fucking pot.

If people think there are no jobs now, i wonder what they will be saying in 10yrs.
Your bolded question, is the million dollar question.

Im not honestly sure what would motivate the US population to actually start taking the power back...

I mean, gas is $4 a gallon.
The economy is in the toilet.
College tuition is rising at the same time degrees are becoming worthless.
We live in a system that promotes 99% debt 1% savings.
National debt is 17.6 trillion while the US continues fighting/funding multiple wars.
National borders are being flooded at a record rate.
and the list goes on and on...

As an educated, tax paying American in my 30's, im ashamed.
My generation has let younger generations down.

I wish i had multiple answers to your bolded question my friend, but i dont.

I think Elvis said it best- "A little less conversation, a little more action"

well in that case, bush should have been impeached as well.. but i guess there weren't enough lefty extremists at the time.

maybe it is for fundraising, but at least it was said.. trying to impeach obama might make republicans look bad to independent voters, but i guess that's not their main focus right now.

Clinton lied under oath, which is a felony. Obama has constatantally abused his power and his trust, but I don't think to the point that he should be impeached, I would like to see him resign though.

US politics is run by bussinessman. You can simply buy your way to power 
What would you want Americans to do?

Why do people focus on the mosquito and not the swamp?

Obama is one person, with significantly less power than people give him credit for...

The entire political system in the US is broken.
The immigration issue is something that needs to be addressed, but its a major issue and neither party has the courage to deal with it.

Politicians are too busy trying to raise money for 1st terms or re-elections. They waste a majority of their time on that instead of actually fixing issues.

At the end of the day, Washington will NOT change, unless we make them.

Unfortunately, most Americans are too pacified with TV and iPhones to really do anything.

Well, a high crime or misdemeanor would certainly include betraying the Constitution for starters. Of course, that is so yesterday in terms of what most politicians and all recent presidents have done. However, flooding the country w/ illegal aliens while giving them a free ride while average Americans are hurting and having to follow all rules to a T, doesn't sit well and is a violation of one's oath of office in a large way. You can't have immigration rules set up and then the executive acts like they don't exist. Plus, he's made a mockery out of Border Patrol guards. Everything this man has done w/ his puppet leadership in the Congress in terms of the economy, bailouts, foreign policy of intervening in Libya, Egypt and behind the scenes in Syria has been detrimental to this country's future. He's a failed George W. Bush on steroids.

I don't think this issues are good enough reasons to Impeach Obama?
In fact, Clinton's issue was much more serious (lying, sex scandal) but nothing happen.
In my opinion, this story is just republican's propaganda before the elections.

Or this:
Congressman at border: 'Obama begging to be impeached'

So you vote for a sex and not for idea ?

You would want to revise your wish when Hillary is selected as the US President.

Yep, I've diagnosed the talk: it's a fundraising scheme on both sides.
