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.”
He’s a democrat...no he won’t.
Perhaps during the attack on the consulate, the people in Washington in the administration dealing with the situation said, “This attack could endanger the re-election of President Obama (and our jobs). Chris will understand what is really at stake here. He would be willing to give up his life under this circumstance for a greater good, just as we would” - as they sat there in comfort and safety and watched the monitors flicker for a while longer.
Must make a note to self to start taping Hardball again. Chris Matthews is gonna have a stroke on live TV..
D’ain’t no way that this sock-puppet, nor his very overweight wife, nor his puppet handlers are going to be run out of our White House. In fact, there might not even be another election.
All this is is wishful thinking . . . d’ain’t gona’ happen no way.
Has Huckleberry ever been right... about anything?Huckabee is one of the staunchest defenders of life that we have in America today. So I'd say he's right 3,000 (give or take) times every day.
I think if a doctor knowingly took the life of an unborn child for money, and that's why he was doing it, yeah, I think you would, you would find some way to sanction that doctor. I don't know that you'd put him in prison, but there's something to me untoward about a person who has committed himself to healing people and to making people alive who would take money to take an innocent life and to make that life dead. There's something that just doesn't ring true about the purpose of medical practice when the first rule of the Hippocratic Oath is "First, do no harm." Well, if you take the life and suction out the pieces of an unborn child for no reason than its inconvenience to the mother, I don't think you've lived up to your Hippocratic Oath of doing no harm. --Mike Huckabee, interview with Tim Russert, 12-30-07
Stupid.
Wait, What?
Huckabee said that?
Never mind.
Which would require me to live somewhere near a filty city, or even in plain view of a road.
I agree with Huckleberry on this one—this scandal or another will topple him from power-—He will be exposed for what he is.
I would impeach him just for his remarks in Mexico about our having “imposed our sovereignty” on Mexico.
You misunderstand - this issue was much bigger than he was/is - and he simply got in front of the wave. Did he first say”Aug 1?” Maybe, but it was the issue, not Huck’s “immense popularity and clout” that drove it.
A good amount of Red State Dems are up in 2014. The numbers favor the GOP, the Dems have to defend more seats and they have opened up more seats by retirement.
There are a few folks saying this - some guy from PJ Media said it back in the fall....so we’ll see. A drip drip drip sometimes becomes big, and sometimes not....
So it is remotely possible that Harry may have to decide if he likes being Majority Leader more than he like Obama...
The entire administration needs to be impeached, not just that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
...with a little luck, he’ll be minority leader and it won’t make any difference what he does......
Somewhere between Tuesday and Thursday, Team Obama will need a big distraction away from the Benghazi Witnesses.
Wonder what it will be?
That is how he plays the game. Especially when the media is realizing that 90% of the sheeple won’t fall for them repeating admin lies only, this time. Even the low info voters are suspicious about Benghazi and Know what it is now.
What the heck will they think up this time? Their deep thinkers came up with that video... They aren’t as bright as they think they are.
Yeah, and my wife is finally going to allow a hot 30 yo nympho move in with us...........
For once, let Huckabee be correct.
Well, it's about damn time!
