Impeaching Himself, Period
American Thinker ^ | November 9, 2013 | Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison

Posted on 11/09/2013 3:13:57 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

The side-by-side comparisons of President Obama's statements then and now are devastating. Especially the "period." Period here is no punctuation mark. It's a way of underscoring the word of the President of the United States.

If you like your health care plan you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away. No matter what. - June 15,2009

And I am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me. - November 7,2013

For him to have made such unqualified assurances to the American people--not once but dozens of times--and for us to learn that he always knew that promise could not be kept--will haunt his presidency. He has impeached himself.

Of course, many opponents of this president will raise the specter of impeachment. The legislative process for enactment of ObamaCare was surely debauched by these knowingly false assurances. Of that there can be no doubt.

But we can set aside all talk of impeachment. In the latest campaign book, Double Down: Game Change 2012, by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, we learn that President Obama never gave serious thought to dropping Joe Biden from the ticket. Small wonder. Joe Biden is Mr. Obama's best insurance against impeachment.

Few noted it at the time he was selected, but the very choice of Joe Biden by then-senator Barack Obama was evidence of his inexperience. Obama had not hung around the Senate cloakroom long enough to discover what his colleagues thought of Joe Biden. In his nearly forty years in the Senate, not one of his fellow Democrats had ever suggested making Joe Biden their Senate leader. They all knew him too well.

He's 'sorry' America discovered they were hurt by Obamacare.

Unless you got a waiver for being a Rat supporter!

...and I am sorry that they, you know are finding themselves in a situation where a low rent community organizer was elected President.

I had read “The Lonely Guy” before coming to FR this morning. It is chilling. I kept thinking how is he going to react when things don’t go his way?

It's an interesting piece.

I sense that the Left has begun their borg-like move toward the next leader in their march toward socialism.

The author starts out being all sweet and concerned about the wonderful, talented, brilliant Obama and then turns and takes quite a few not-so-veiled shots at Obama BUT manages to praise Hilliary Clinton in the process.

“The greatest threat to America is the MSM.” I could not agree more. The question is, how do we stop them?

I have long thought that if faced with severe criticism, 0zer0 will “develop” a physical condition that will allow him to resign amid great sympathy from the duped.

That is beautiful! I'm going to print that out and frame it for my wall. I think I'll do a bunch of them and give them out as Christmas presents (to certain people I know)
