WASHINGTON — Worse than Richard Nixon. An unprecedented abuse of powers. The most un-American president in the nation’s history.
Nat Hentoff does not think much of President Obama.
And now, the famous journalist says it is time to begin looking into impeachment.
Hentoff sees the biggest problem as Obama’s penchant to rule by executive order when he can’t convince Congress to do things his way.
The issue jumped back into the headlines last week when, just before his first Cabinet meeting of 2014, Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone … and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions.”

Hentoff is no hack.
He is an old school liberal, a leading civil libertarian and a fierce defender of the Bill of Rights.
An atheist who recognizes the difference between right and wrong and is, accordingly, pro-life.
Hentoff has more in common with conservatives today than he does with the Communists who have taken over the left. And he understands that.
Nat is not a hack. He is also not a ‘modern’ liberal because he is pro-life, which is anathema to the modern liberals.
Why aren't they? There's your answer
He's old school liberal, though vocally and stridently pro-life.
He was disgusted by the Clinton corruption and his whole disgusting administration as well.
Not surprising, he is one of the few, honest Liberals left. In fact, I can’t think of another one at the moment. He’s the kind of guy whom you can disagree with, but still respect for being consistent in his views.
Thanks for the insights into Mr. Hentoff. I’ve never heard of him. It’s amazing that he wrote for The Village Voice for 51 years.
Just curious, did he vote for Obambi twice?
Amen! That’s perfect. Similar to the way they act every time Ted Cruz opens his mouth. Bunch of pansies!
This black President wll NEVER be impeached. Don’t waste any energy considering it! Only if he applied to Occidental as a foreign student.
Thank you for that. Some of us are familiar with the circumstances described in the article. This certainly has a ring of authenticity and ought to be required reading for low info voters and college students.
Have a couple of long time friends who hold O and his concepts in relatively high esteem and plan to share this with them. Do you know where we can find more about Aleksey? AT appears to be a dead end - no doubt NSA has a complete file.
Yep. Looks like a left wing loon.
This was the first article I’ve seen by him. He wrote several replies in the comments section using another screen name.
I spent 7 months deep in the hinterlands of China in the fall/winter/spring of ‘76 - ‘77. I worked in new natural gas fertilizer plants from Yunnan Province in the south to Manchuria in the north. My arrival timing was perfect — I arrived two weeks after Mao died just when the Gang of Four intrigue was getting started. Almost everything Aleksy says I witnessed during those very long seven months in communist China.
Ever since that experience, I’ve always felt every American should spend a formative year in their teens or 20s in a totalitarian country.
He’s not a hack. He’s a liberty purist and he doesn’t go by party line.
My , my - look how far we've come from "I have a dream"
Nat is a lib in the spirit of Pat Caddell, meaning an honest one.
I disagree; we were stupid enough and weak enough (to cave in under threats of riots) to reelect him. We need to suffer the chastisement that is our due for not getting rid of Obama when we had the chance in 2012. Let him remain President until 2016 and just maybe we’ll appreciate our constitution and economy the next time it goes into an upswing. We didn’t appreciate all of it before, but now is our time to learn to appreciate it.
It would teach brats about REAL oppression and REAL tyranny. A few short trips to North Korea and these idiots will learn fast and quick how good we have it here in the US.
“Nat Hentoff does not think much of President Obama.”....
Nat better have a good security guard system as his days are numbered. Just sayin.......
