A series of increasingly spectacular scandals have appeared.
First the Benghazi scandal was morphed into a coverup scandal.
Then the new scandal of the IRS admitting sua sponte that conservative groups were targeted.
Followed by Obama firing an acting director who was due to step down anyway. Pure theater.
Then the AP story. Charging a reporter with espionage. And now the NSA spying on citizens.
The diversion has been ongoing.
What was going on at Benghazi?
Obama may have serious trouble overcoming these scandals.
“It’s a clear case of HOMICIDE!
Impeach, and incarcerate, either order is acceptable!”
America is not Italy or Argentina, where leaders can be jailed and have been jailed. We are so purrfect, ain’t we, and we’re paying the price for this hubris now with Obamugabe!
It is rather clear that there were dealings with Al Qaeda.
You do recall Al Qaeda, don’t you?
An ambassador lost his life, as did SEALS, in order to conceal dealings with an enemy.
Questions need answering. Questions are not being asked.
Imho, running weapons (which I posted in Sept. 2012), just like Fast & Furious.
Then again, I could be wrong...

I think Congress gets to decide what rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, but no way is a sole and flimsy charge of a politician lying to the American people is going to pass muster. As Commander and Chief, it's his prerogative to send in more troops or not, and I don't believe many in Congress are going to believe otherwise.
As an American, you will NOT under any circumstances say what the most obvious answer to WHY Obama is on the wrong side of virtually every question. Not even Al Gore could have been this stupid.
WHY did Obama give the stand down order?
WHY did Obama and useful idiot Hillary arm Libyan rebels. And who are the rebels?
The answers are easy. The rebels are Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and other arab terrorists working to put Islam in control. Syria: Same thing, Obama is giving US weapons to Arab terrorists.
WHY is Obama working to put terrorist in control in Egypt (mission accomplished), Libya, Iraq, and Syria? Hussein is laughing at you and millions of other Americans. Are you waiting for the NY Times to tell you who Hussin Obama is working for?
Platitudes don’t make a good argument and all you present are platitudes.
I observe facts and draw conclusions therefrom.
I suggest you look up the word “platitude”.
I think Congress gets to decide what rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, but no way is a sole and flimsy charge of a politician lying to the American people is going to pass muster.
I noticed that you ignored the second part of my comment. I didn't just say that the president lied. I did say that the president lied about an attack by Al Qaeda against our country.
Imagine what Al Qaeda thinks when they see the president lying to the American people and to the entire world at the UN.
Utterly dangerous.
You know what I think? I think President Obama ought to fire Carney and hire you. That's what I think.
It won’t happen.
I do too, and I draw different conclusions. I know what platitudes mean and that's exactly what you are presenting.
Opinion as fact, facts as conclusive and meaningless generalities.
I suggest you read up on logic 101 -- particularly the difference between deductive reasoning vs your inductive reasoning.
If enough people say that it won't happen then it won't happen.
What 30 witnesses? Have YOU seen or heard from them? I haven't. Who told you about them? The government?...the MSM? Now THERE are two entities we can trust! Let's face it, we honestly don't even know if they even exist...and even if they did, are they still alive?
I'll gladly eat those words if and when they are produced and allowed to tell their stories.
Then let’s hear your explanation of the known facts.
Obama used taxpayer money to foster a political coverup. He spent taxpayer dollars to make and distribute a commercial in the Middle East to coverup his incompetent handling of Benghazi. He knew that baloney video had nothing to do with Benghazi, yet he sent out that commercial to try and cover his tracks. Misuse of Federal monies in this manner meets the standard of “High crimes and misdemeanors” as laid out in the Constitution. He starred in the video, so he can’t claim he didn’t know anything about it. An Impeachment Proceeding is akin to an Indictment Proceeding or a Grand Jury Proceeding. It is fact-finding. It is also more of an administrative proceeding than a judicial proceeding. If Obama is impeached, then the Senate may vote to retain him as President or remove his as our President. The Democrats want everyone to be scared to death of impeachment. We shouldn’t be. It’s more of an administrative hearing to determine whether a government employee should be removed from his job. Obama is a government employee. He works for us. He is not an emperor or king.
Roccus~:” What 30 witnesses? Have YOU seen or heard from them? I haven’t. “
I haven’t heard from them either. They would be the US citizens / career State Dept. employees who were at the cousulate.
The same ones that the State Dept. has had sequestered while the FBI / Dept. of Justice conducts their investigation. ( Its only been 9 months .. so don’t hold your breath )
These would be the 30 employees that were flown out of Tripoli the day after the Benghazi attack.
United States Constitution.
Usagi_yo ~:” Benghazi is really about Hillary.”
Not so !
Its about murder of 4 Americans who were abandoned by the Adminstration (CIA /military /State Department/ Secty of State).
Its about the first murder of a US Ambassador in 30 years.
Its about knowingly issueing a false story / cover up.
Its about “the movie” where the US Embassey in Cairo was issueing a apology even before an attack on Benghazi.
Its about the US Govt. spending $70,000.oo to produce and advertize an apology to Pakisanti muslims for “the movie”.
Its about the 12 rewrites of the Adminstration explaining why the attack occurred .
Its about Rice going out on 5 Sunday programs in one day to explain that all had ocurred because of “the movie”.
Its about the couple of bombings at the counselate and at the ‘safe house’ that occurred within 3 months of the murders.
Its about the reduction of security at the counselate even after the bombings.
Its about the fact that the Red Cross and Brittish embassey had pulled out because the area was too dangerous for their staff.
Its about why was Ambassador Stevens there in the first place.
Its about Ambassador Stevens personally asking for security and being ignored immediately prior to the attack.
Its about 3 men laying down their lives for the sake of their country , knowing that resources were not that far away, and yet their call for help was ignored.
Its the fact that according to the State Dept. , we saw the attack in almost ‘real time’.
Its about the fact that no one called in reinforcements .
Its about the fact that no one authorized reinforcements to be flown into the country, crossing international borders.
Its about the 27 day delay before the FBI /Justice Dept. even conducted their 8 hour investigation .
Have I even mentioned Hillary once ?? Nope !!
OK , to soothe your ego , I will mention Hillary .
After a delay of 9 months after the attack and murders in Benghazi ,we get :
“ ..At this point , what difference does it make “.
