Huckabee: Benghazi will drive Obama from office

By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 5/6/13 2:50 PM EDT

Mike Huckabee on Monday predicted that President Barack Obama won’t finish out his second term in light of the “cover-up” of the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and the former Arkansas governor called the affair “more serious than Watergate.” “I believe that before it’s all over, this president will not fill out his full term. I know that puts me on a limb,” the former Arkansas governor said on “The Mike Huckabee Show.” “But this is not minor. It wasn’t minor when Richard Nixon lied to the American people and worked with those in his administration to cover-up what really happened in Watergate. But, I remind you — as bad as Watergate was, because it broke the trust between the president and the people, no one died. This is more serious because four Americans did in fact die.”

Huckabee, however, said his predication about Obama “will not happen” if the Democrats seize control of the House and retain control of the Senate next year.

“If they’re able to get control of the House and maintain the Senate, this will not happen because they won’t let it happen,” Huckabee said.

“And they won’t let it happen not because they’re protecting just the president, they’re trying to protect their entire political party. If they try to protect the president and their party, and do so at the expense of the truth, their president and their party will go down. Now, here’s what I’m going to suggest will happen — as the information and facts begin to come out, it will become so obvious that there was a concerted and very, very deliberate attempt to mislead this country and its people to lie to Congress, as well as to you.”

And as the truth about the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi emerges, Huckabee said, “they will have lost the right to govern.”

“The highest levels of people in the United States government all the way up to the president knew that what they did tell us was not true,” he said. “And they continued to tell it throughout an election season and beyond, and they’ve tried to change the subject. And when the facts come out, they will not be able to stand. They will have lost the right to govern.”

What happened with Benghazi is not a “political issue” — “this goes all the way to the heart of the integrity of the United States government,” Huckabee said.

“When a president lies to the American people and is part of a cover-up, he cannot continue to govern,” Huckabee said. “And as the facts come out, I think we’re going to see something startling. And before it’s over, I don’t think this president will finish his term unless somehow they can delay it in Congress past the next three and a half years.”

This one can and will. The sheeple are no longer capable of thinking.

If only the media would report it fairly, then perhaps.

0bamacare is also being met with disapproval among a growing chorus of Democrats who supported it. Stay tuned.

WAY too late. The proper time was before the re-immaculation.

Well... it worked for everyone but Nixon.

He claims to be black, so any move to even accuse him of wrongdoing is shouted down as racist.

From his mouth to God’s ears.

With this raging now, fast and furious reloading so to speak and obamacare becoming more of a loser, look for some false flag item to surface in the next few days.

When the NY Times runs the hearings on the front page, and MSNBC runs it as their “lede,” I’ll believe it.

But until then, I find it much easier to believe that these and other organizations will be working overtime to ensure the American public forgets about this as quickly as possible.

We might see Rice get blamed for this, and Hillary might catch a little flack, but that’s about it.

Wishful thinking. All the forces that mobilized to deceive the public during the election campaign will double their efforts to protect the man who is turning this country into a candy-a$$ third world country welfare state.
