27 of 35 Bush Articles of Impeachment Apply to Obama

I'm under no illusion that we'll ever be able to get rid of Obama, but this should shake some of the pro-Obama crowd up a bit.

*******

When Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush on June 9, 2008, the 35 had been selected from drafts of nearly twice that many articles.

President Obama has accumulated his own massive list of high crimes and misdemeanors that were unavailable for Bush's list (thing's like openly murdering U.S. citizens, launching massive drone wars, selectively and abusively prosecuting numerous whistleblowers as spies, holding Bradley Manning naked in isolation, attacking Libya without so much as bothering to lie to Congress, etc.).

Nonetheless, it is instructive to review the 35 Bush articles in the Obama age. It quickly becomes apparent that Obama has either exactly duplicated or closely paralleled most of the 35. Here's what I mean:

    • There is 2 different time lines there. One law does not apply to the other.
      You could see it like,

      The Tenth Amendment, Article 1?
      "Pay the debts and provide the common defense &
      general welfare of the united states."

      common defense & general welfare!!

      In the Constitution of the United States (Article I, section 8), the clause that authorizes Congress "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with Indian Tribes." It is the legal foundation of much of the U.S. government's regulatory authority.

      regulate Commerce with foreign Nations!!

      We hired him to be the pres, that stuff comes with the job.
      To give us common defense & general welfare, not to be attacked by
      something out there. Accidents happen & the intent was not really to kill the Innocent.

      Being that the American president is the most important job in the world, & you will have to do what is right, to set it right. And that comes with the bad.

      Bush is a different case he cut a lot of funding for the poor to pay for that war.
      He sent our DEBT way up, with the workers getting lower & lower.
      Bush did not give us any, general welfare, in anyway!
      Well he did but more like a welfare check for us all!

      I don't really know what to think of the opednews site.
      To me it looks more like on the line of anarchy, that shows it more
      with that story here!

    • And if it's the slam-dunk case you claim it to be, as an allegedly responsible American, what are you going to do about it?

      My sense is it's not the slam-dunk case you and others hope for. In fact, it's likely wishful thinking.

    • the only president that was impeached and didn't quit was a democrat
      in one year we had a vice president and a president to quit thir job and they were republicans and they were not impeached

      I want to say "That's life "bit the media wish to amplify the negative to sell advertisements space than list the good works
      I personally think that Carter was also destroyed by the media using his brother Billy
      Many of flaws are in many of president but we have a right place the good things within our heart and dwell on these instead of hate

    • Yeah, I don't like most of what Obama has done, and I REALLY don't like that he's spoken the words without EVER acting on them, but IMO you missed the boat by failing to center on all the truly egregious acts of treason that the shrub committed. When you can start an article by stating the crimes the shrub committed and contrast them with the same crimes that Obama has committed then maybe I'll start paying attention.

      IMO the shrub is a far worse man -- not to mention how truly retarded he is -- than Obama will ever be!

      Pwr 2 the 99% peons! GUILLOTINE the shrub and all politicians that even remotely resemble him!

    • Doesn't matter becasue it is Obama.

      Interesting that it has only taken Obummer three years to be only eight items away but, much like the debt, Barry has been better at being worse than Bush than Bush was.
