Sen. Coburn: Obama 'Perilously Close' to Impeachment | |

He is guilty of multiple Acts of Treason which have much more severe punishment. The talking points need to change from "impeach" to "try for treason" Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45626616 I'm with you on that, ac616. Prayer.....the world's first wireless connection. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2417276 United States 08/23/2013 11:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh…I get it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8251678 Well, kids, since it has been about five whole seconds since some Republican said President Obama should be impeached, it’s about that time again. Who is impeachsplaining at us today? Why, it’s Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn (no, not that spackle-brained dick weasel Oklahoma senator, but the other one). And why are we IMPEACH!ing the president today? Is it for presidenting while black? Or IRSgate? Or that new puppy? No! It is because of a new standard Sen. Coburn just discovered (read: invented) that did not exist in the era of George W. Bush but it is now a high crime and misdemeanour. And what is this new standard? Why, it is incompetency! “What you have to do is you have to establish the criteria that would qualify for proceedings against the president and that’s called impeachment” Coburn said, responding to a question about holding President Obama accountable. “That’s not something you take lightly and you have to use a historical precedent of what that means. I think there’s some intended violation of the law in this administration, but I also think there’s a ton of incompetence of people who are making decisions.” Sure, that makes sense. After all, Republicans are especially outraged at how Obama so incompetently mishandled the response to Hurricane Katrina four years before he actually became president, but so what, that’s just, like, semantics. And it’s not like Coburn is saying IMPEACH!, exactly, he’s just saying IMPEACH! maybe. “My little wiggle out of that when I get that written to me is I believe that needs to be evaluated and determined but thank goodness it doesn’t have to happen in the Senate until they’ve brought charges in the House. Those are serious things but we’re in a serious time. I don’t have the legal background to know if that rises to high crimes and misdemeanor but I think they’re getting perilously close.” Besides, Coburn isn’t saying the president has done anything impeachable yet. He’s just “perilously close.” We are not sure what that means. One more adopted puppy? One more trip to the exotic foreign country of Hawaii? One more day in office as a black president? (Sorry, Peggy Noonan, we know how you hate when anyone suggests that there is anything racist about racism.) Anyway, we’re pretty sure this is not personal. After all, Coburn says some of his best friends are presidents he think should be impeached. Maybe. If someone with more legal background can figure out something to charge the president with. |

DawaSatso User ID: 44905011 United States 08/23/2013 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As long as Sen Coburn softens the horrific magnitude of O's crimes he is not serious..he's a little goldfish tickling Obamas heels in a pond. As long as he follows the limp-dicked approach calling this mere incompetence.. THEN HIS OWN DISINGENUOUS UNDESERVINGNESS along with the rest of them fouling every law every written in the hx of this country... THEN HIS OWN JOB IS SAFE. Instead all of it should come crashing down on their heads. Abolish d.c. itself as imposters. but we already knew that. |

Hard Eight User ID: 35278639 United States 08/23/2013 11:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So Obama can basically do all the insane fuckups that he wants, because GOP think the impeachment process will get stranded in the senate anyway. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1195264 Every branch of government has his goons in it. They are ALL working in conjunction, not in opposition. There are no checks and balances anymore, that is just a dog and pony show they trot out to make you think they are doing something on your behalf. They aren't. They won't. What people need to figure out is - what do you do when your entire government - every branch - has been infiltrated and compromised and is acting against the People and the Constitution. What then? Talking about anything else - this side vs that side, etc. - is utterly pointless. A good start would be cutting govt. in half and let the cleanup begin.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44497368 To my own dismay, I will say that this sounds more like Colonel Custer saying his most famous words... "Don't take any prisoners!" Custer also said "There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry.” That does sound a lot like Obummer's mantra. Arrogant people tend to overestimate their own invincibility which can lead to their downfall. |
Maguyver User ID: 808852 United States 08/23/2013 11:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ain't gonna happen. No one have the cajones to impeach the first black president. No one wants to be branded a racist, and you know that's what would happen. Never mind the facts or scandals or improprieties, he's not going anywhere until his term is up. The ONLY way for damage control is to take the senate in '14 and control the House. Adversity is inevitable, misery is optional. Do or do not. There is no try.

They don't even have the beginning of grounds for impeachment. No matter how much shit they make up even the made up stuff is a joke. He's Gay, He caused bengazi, he farted , he shit his pants, what else ya'll got. Worst of all you ignore the fact that he was Voted into office by a majority of the people. You have no respect for the system. You have no respect for your fellow mans vote. In fact you sound like a bunch of brats who didn't get their cookie. So for 6 years you made life miserable for everybody else because you didn't get your way. Well Blow it out your ass. |

So for 6 years you made life miserable for everybody else because you didn't get your way. Well Blow it out your ass. You are (unfortunately) correct. There's a lot of -potentials- there for impeachable offences. If there were ever an investigation that led to the top, he could be in trouble. The thing that pisses me off is the lack of outrage and the stymied investigations into Benghazi and Fast and Furious. I know there are the other issues like the IRS targeting and NSA spying, but people died in Benghazi and FnF. The media just seems to not care, except the alternative news sources and, to some extent, Fox News. If none of that above leads to P'Bo, he's nearly assured to tout he is blameless. However, it does show a lack of leadership and it's the tone set from the top that tells the people in the administration that such behavior is OK. Most rational thinking libertarian minded individuals do not believe such behavior is acceptable. He is undoubtedly the most irresponsible president in resent history. The buck definitely gets passed. Adversity is inevitable, misery is optional. Do or do not. There is no try.
