Obama says he doesn't favor impeachment of Bush, Cheney

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Barack Obama says he doesn't favor impeachment proceedings for President George W. Bush and Vice President Cheney.

Obama made that comment Thursday in response to a question asked at a meeting in Washington with his Illinois constituents.

The Illinois Democrat said he's distressed by the Bush administration's ethical standards and secrecy. But the presidential hopeful says impeachment should be reserved for "grave" breaches of the president's authority.

Both Obama and Sen. Dick Durbin said having to deal with month after month of impeachment hearings wouldn't be in the best interest of America.

Obama said there's a better way for unhappy Americans to deal with elected officials. He said they can "vote the bums out."

I am in favor of hitting most (99%) of the people in office, or running for office, in the heads with bricks.

Amazing to me that 2 or 3 years ago this guy was a nothing State Senator and now the fawning media runs every scenario in the world passed him as if he has a bloody clue!

He doesn’t.

All because he’s a minority, is “clean”, has nice teeth and has a name like B. Hussein Obama.

Well, I know he recently came out whining about the race SCOTUS cases and the 2 Bush judges.

Perhaps Robert Byrd threatened to lynch him on the Senate floor if he didn’t make these comments.
