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.”

Benghazi will drive Obama from office

Personally, I'd like to see him driven from office by a bunch of people beating him with long sticks and whips.

Preferably folks of his own alleged skin color.

Oh no I agree it wasn’t his immense popularity that drove it.

I’m not sure if he first said August 1st or not.

My point is though.. you don’t need immense popularity or clout to get something going.

When Hillary got away with lying to congress, and the media shrugged when she played the "what difference does it make" card, I find it hard to believe these folks will ever pay in this life for this debacle.

What the media has become is tragic beyond words.

Puh....leeez!
Even if we had barky on video gunning down the embassy personnel with his own hands...do you think our limp-wristed RINOs would dare lift a finger against the USSA’s first black President?

Kleenex and Jack Daniels.

Jack Daniels sounds a little too redneck for an elitist like Boner. I'll bet it's more like Chivas Regal.

Obama will not leave and the Dems will not make him. They know this is their time for power and they will not simply give up because they got caught red handed for anything.

So you are hoping for a sobbing Boner at his swearing in ceremony?

The only problem with that theory is that the MSM has no curiosity or interest in the cover up.

The Democrats and the media will do whatever is necessary to save Obama. They can't let a black President be driven out of office because his incompetence caused the deaths of four Americans no one had even heard of before they died...four white male Americans at that.

It would destroy the Democratic Party if they allowed that to happen.

We should all pray that Huckabee is right on point with this one. I would LOVE to see the Odumbo’s EVICTED from our house. Not only should the Odumbo’s be gone, so should Hitlary, Holder and all the muzzie bastards he has put in place.

Fat chance. If Obama killed the ambassador himself on live prime-time television, his mediawhores would still protect him and the demholes wouldn’t vote to impeach, never mind remove.

“When a president lies to the American people and is part of a cover-up, he cannot continue to govern,” Huckabee said.

Ha!
