re: #155 palomino

It’s all BS meant to whip people into a frenzy. The GOP has had a hard-on for impeachment ever since Clinton. The problem is you don’t get to impeach a president for things like Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Solyndra, ISIS, etc.

The worst Obama can be accused of in all those cases is making a mistake, since there’s currently no evidence of criminality.

The part that bugs me most is the fact that if you compare the Democratic and Republican Presidents during the past half century, there have been a HELL of a lot more instances of impeachable offenses by the Republican side than from the Democrats.

Johnson: Escalation of conflict in SE Asia (see Pentagon Papers) - possibly impeachable.

Nixon: Watergate coverup was clearly impeachable - even his own allies agreed with this one.

Ford: Outside of his pardon of Nixon (which he had the absolute right to do), nothing even approaching shady with him.

Carter: Nothing directly associated with him - a couple appointees having legal problems, but still nothing impeachable.

Reagan: Iran-Contra, HUD grant rigging, Savings & Loan crisis, EPA corruption all had direct Reagan administration involvement.

GHW Bush: Possible involvement in scandals during his term as Vice-President, but nothing really while he was President.

Clinton: Probably the most-investigated President in modern history, and the only thing they could find on him was an instance of him lying about marital infidelity.

GW Bush: pursuit of Iraq invasion, midterm dismissals of US Attorneys, Valerie Plame affair, Geneva Convention violations

Obama: Sorry, rightwingers, but being “President while black” is not an impeachable offense.

That would be three Republicans, and one Democrat who had viable cases against them.
