Ben Johnson, The White House Watch
Here is a measure of both this movement’s effectiveness and Barack Obama’s stark, brazen criminality: Even the RINOs are talking impeachment.
In Rochester, New Hampshire, on Monday morning, former Utah governor and Obama’s one-time ambassador to China Jon Huntsman told a citizen that Obama’s war in Libya may be an impeachable offense. ABC News posted the following transcript of the exchange between Huntsman and the “voter”:
Voter: You mentioned Libya, and you mentioned the Constitution a couple of times. The president has decided to make Congress irrelevant, go around Congress, not — not go to Congress and ask for whether permission to go to war for — with, with Libya. He takes, what he thought, a UN resolution as his mandate to be able to go to war in Libya, do you think that’s unconstitutional in what he’s doing in Libya right now?
Huntsman: Well, last I looked the UN was not our Constitution. We ought to recognize who’s responsible for declaring war and giving the approval for these kinds of things, and get back to the basics of who should be driving these decisions.
Voter: What should Congress be doing in the fact that he went around Congress and he’s, he’s not abiding to the War Powers Act?
Huntsman: I think, I think Congress is, is in a mild uproar about it.
Voter: It’s very mild.
Huntsman: I have a fundamental problem, generally, I mean beyond this decision, just with the decision that has been made to get involved, in Libya, in a tribal country, when we have no definable interest at stake, we have no exit strategy. Look in Afghanistan, you want to get involved in tribal government? How hard it is to extricate yourself once you’ve gotten involved? Let history be your guide. Thank you.
Voter: Do you think it’s impeachable?
Huntsman: I’ll let Congress make that decision.
The mainstream media, flexing its sagging muscles, tried to turn Huntsman’s words into a bigger scandal than the president’s unconstitutional war itself. To his credit, when pushed for a clarification, Huntsman replied, “Congress should do whatever Congress chooses to do.”
As proof of Republican “extremism,” that is pretty weak stuff. Uber-Democrat Jerrold Nadler has compared Obama to a king, a dictator, and “an absolute monarch” precisely over launching an unauthorized war — not in a barbecue pit in someone’s backyard but from the floor of the House. But the media have a love affair with Huntsman, the liberal Republican who supports homosexual civil unions and the debt deal. In their skewed world, Huntsman is John McCain-lite, the “straight-talking” candidate who tells the GOP base what it does not want to hear. To media talking heads, this is a dog whistle that, if “even” Huntsman refuses to “rule out” impeachment, then far-Right Tea Party “insanity” must have infected the entire party.
Thus, the media quoted Democratic operative Ty Matsdorf, who fumed “it’s sad to see Jon Huntsman abandon his convictions for a chance to appease the rabid right-wing base by refusing to rule out impeachment.”
Of course, as a private citizen, Huntsman is not in any position to “rule out” anything. As he properly noted, that is Congress’ job. Yet this tempest-in-a-teapot is a triumph for Matsdorf’s employer, American Bridge 21st Century, which ABC News describes as a “Super PAC,” and which captured the “damning” video. This anonymously funded 501(c)(4) opposition group was founded by Media Matters head David Brock, a major recipient of George Soros’ money. The secretive group has….

For all our sakes, FREAKIN' DO IT AND STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!! Before this illegal immigrant Manchurian candidate completes his ruination of America. NOT stopping him is an impeachable offense. Wake up, morons.
CORRECT. CONGRESS AND ALL OTHERS IN POWER ARE GUILTY OF SHIRKING THEIR OATHS OF OFFICE. THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR SCOTUS. WE CAN TRUST THEY ALL KNOW OBAMA IS AN ALIEN.
I agree 100 Percent. This. Has gone on to long, And to far.
Ditto. Stop talking and just DO IT. That’s all Congress does is TALK TALK TALK, and in mousey tones at that. That kind of crap is what ust got us another 2 something trillion in debt. Does the country HAVE to utterly collapse before they will stop the train?
Please note: Huntsman REFUSED to say himself if it was an impeachable offense that was committed by Obama… he simply said he would let Congress make that decision. No surprise here, another RINO refusing to take a stand against Obama!!
WE DON'T WANT HUNTSMAN ANOTHER LIBERAL AS EVIDENCED FROM HIS TIES TO THE MORMANS–A FACTUAL CULT.
Blah…Blah…Blah. If I had a dollar for every time somebody, including you Mr. Brown, said that Soetoro was going to be impeached, removed from office etc…I could retire today. It aint goin' to happen!
The fake SSN, the fake birth certificate, all of the lies and more lies, his blatant disregard for the constitution, his ties to radical islam, his czars, his labor thugs and goons, his use of taxpayer money to fund his re-election campaign… on and on ad nauseum… The list could go on for days… yet he stays in command as our dear ruler…wreaking his havok and blaming it on Bush and everybody else…
The TRUTH is that the republicans are just about as bad….I give you the most recent non-crisis with the debt thing… Where is our champion? Where is our dragon slayer? Why is an inept, inexperienced, marxist, elitest communist puppet, an incompentant botoxed witch from california, a little nazi from nevada, a crybaby and a rino from tenn. running this country? Why? Because we have allowed it.!!! We are too busy with me…me…me…to do the work to see the reality!
They work slow up there, but the wheels are turning..I have it from a Texas Congressman who has some gumption. He couldn't even talk on his DC phone, had to call me back from his private, personal cell phone. That is pretty dadgum sad. He thinks Fast and Furious will be the final straw…and there are a LOT of straws. As i figured, but no one just came out and said, they (the senate and house) are afraid of the racial unrest that this will cause. They've hoped that black Americans would start to realize that he is not in it for the good of Americans..of every color. He has already talked privately of declaring martial law, even asked the legal beagles about it, so he has some ulterior motives, as we have known all along.
Hopefully, the process will work, my contact hoped it would be before the elections but with the wall of democrats who, even though they detest him as well as we do, are afraid of losing their majority grip in Washington. This is going to get really ugly if he uses his "powers" as we know he will do…..I suggest arming up, and preparing for war…….
My feeling as welll Judyand thank you..
Many of us who are pro-border protection and anti-illegl immigration pro- actively supporting laws around the country by fax and phone, had our websites attacked.
In spport of Brain Terry and his family: FYI…. issa.house.gov
On a personal note what is Gov Rick Perry doing there on the rule of law in TX?
I know TX stand with us,we have enough problems with open border rabid CA, and New MX that can't seem to make a decison on just one issue, Drivers Lic.
But we need Gov. Perry to soundly , {loud and clear} make a decison to enoforce the laws in TX.
He's so indecisive. .. Am I getting this wrong?
Judy’ You have’ Hit The nail on the head. Our Government’ has turned It’s Back on We the. People, Because They Know. If We get what we won’t’ And need to take place, They are All out. The sooner’ The Better for our Nation.
Get used to it shipmates…All bow down to lord obama, all praise his holy word…if you don't you are a rascist and a terroist and you want to starve babies and kill off granny.
If you think it's bad now just wait until we hand him and his army of moochers, liars and thieves another four years and obamacouldn'tcare less kicks in…you aint seen nothin' yet…
God save…ooops I mean allah save us all!!!!!!!!!!!
The time has come for riots
I would agree, whole heartedly. I do agree, with all my heart. Riots like the ones in Egypt, and all over the filthy muSLIMEY lands. We are going to have to do this even though it does not truly appeal to us, as peaceful people, basically we ARE a peace loving country. Regardless of what we are called, Americans really don’t want war and upheaval. We want our America back as she was intended. But sometimes you have to stand up and fight for what is yours, like it or not. I have no love for a riot myself, riots or revolts, but it has gotten to the point that what else can we do but this? No one in that septic tank is listening to a word we say. We voted in the tea party wusses, and look how even THEY caved!!! There is not one person in Washington who has any balls at all, and I am starting to wonder if the American public has any either! Or, are we too spoiled, and comfortable to rouse ourselves and do the job ourselves, retake our country from these liars and thieves, who only care about their own soft beds………..another 4 years of these losers and we can all bend over and kiss our lives and our country good bye. Not just this Insult in office, but the repukes and dimwits who control everything, and do nothing for anyone but themselves! Hey, we can’t live on broken promises and bullSH$#)^*!!!!! I am personally tired of working myself to death, and getting nowhere…..except more bills and higher grocery bills, and even HIGHER GAS PRICES WHICH BENIFIT THE ALREADY TOO TOO TOO TOO RICH!!!!!! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! HANG ‘EM HIGH! DOWN WITH THE “EMPIRE” OF LIARS THIEVES ROBBERS LOW LIFES muSLIMES AND THE REST! RID OURSELVES OF THE POISON THAT IS INFECTING US ALL AND OUR LIVES!!!! PURGE AMERICA OF THE ENEMIES AND FILTH THAT HAS INFESTED AND INFECTED HER!!!!!!!! DOWN WITH THE EMPIRE/AXIS OF EVIL IN AMERICA!!!!!
I read a earlier post that this was a test for obama to see if our military would follow his orders for an undeclared war. This obama is a dangerous person and must be removed ASAP. I still can't believe he is still acting president.
Quit talking how about action?
talk impeachment my foot. laws of impeachment do not apply to usurping aliens. you get a warrant and arrest them. the phony 4/27 proved obama guilty when he attesred it was his on live tv. legally that'a enough. congress is not needed if the legal system works. are they waiting for this country to break iout in an ugly revolution? it will if action is not taken fast.
I do not understand why Congress is letting this Libya involvement continue. Why would they let our president make the call. I have been following this and no one is talking about it. WHY WHY WHY?????
RINO’s you are about to become extinct!!
You shouldn't even be giving Huntsman face time. He is a Democrat posing as a Republican. We don't need any more of that.
This is only to reduce the number of our servicemen! I am outraged!!!!!
To carol.az RE: Rick Perry…I am a direct blood descendant of an Alamo defender, a combat veteran and a patriot…I expect nothing from anyone because of those things. I mention them only to verify that I am as about as Texas and american as one can get….but no better than any other proud American.It's just that I have watched Perry's career and I warn you, Do not be fooled! He took(not won) the last election w/ only 37% of the vote.That means 67% of the voters DID NOT want him to return to the mansion. The DNC machine will crush him like a bug. He is not the saviorr that he claims to be. His past is wide open and filled with one stupid, selfish, political act after another…Beware of Perry. He IS NOT the answer!
Congress IMPEACH now! Why are you waiting? Who cares if it causes a riot in the black community? Soon enough it won't matter what color you are we will all be fighting in the streets to get our freedoms back and get Odumbo and all the corruption out of DC.
With all his lies and legal issues, out-right crimes against our CONSTITUTION, there should not be hard job getting rid of him
GOD BLESS AMERICA
I just read that Communist USA has endorsed Obama.
I have heard a lot about RIck Perry, and thank you Howler for YOUR service to our great Republic. You have just confirmed what I have heard before. He is one of the “good ole boys”and in the inner circle of the “NewWorld Order” so I have heard. But he does give a good speech, then again—so does OBAMA—and his TELE-PROMPTERS.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Perry is a buil-a-burger LOL
Impeach this serial liar!
To sylviam…I just realized in my own madness my math on the last Perry election was off… it should have read37% for 63% against. Sorry. It is odd that one does not need a majority to win the Governor's office in Texas….just one vote more than second place…no run-off…hmmmmm….
When the last tree has been cut down,
the last river has run dry,
the last fish has been caught and
the last buffalo has been killed
only then will you realize that you cannot eat gold…Cree Indian Proverb
Only when this great land is destroyed by this group of vile liars and thieves will we be forced to see it and awaken…will it be too late? I fear it may be so…
Besides the usual Oprah Winfrey and George Soros, guess who is NOW endorsing Barack Obama for another 4 years in the White House? http://visiontoamerica.org/2891/communist-party-u…
He was endorsed by them the first 4 years. Too bad no one was concerned….
I agree that Impeachment proceedings must get started. Not only that, also continue to investigate Obama's fraud behind his elegibility status as a "natural born citizen." After all, the forgeries he's produced so far can't even sustain any claim for "natural born citizenship." Then there's also the matter of his owning 2 different Social security numbers…That's a felony no matter HOW he got the extra number.
Even if Impeachment is successful, if his fraud is also proven by the Due Process of Law, then everything he's signed or ordered while usurping the Oval Office will be rendered null & without effect under the Law…In short, not only will he be OUT of Office, but everything he did will be easily UNDONE.
All they are doing is patronizing us regardin impeachment, talk talk talk blab blab and no action. Don't expect any. Do you think they would run the risk of an attempted impeachment that would expose their corruption and perjury they did to get him elected. NOT A CHANCE!!!!!! Just all talk….Besides he is a usurper and can only be romoved not impeached…
When will the impeachment procedures begin? The sooner the better.
How can Obama be impeached if he is not legally President?
TO ALL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS:
IF JON HUNSTMAN THINKS OBAMA HAD VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION BY NOT GETTING THE APPROVAL OF CONGRESS IN GOING TO WAR AGAINST LIBYA, WHY DID HE NOT PRESSURE CONGRESS TO IMPEACH OBAMA? WE MUST REMEMBER THAT, OBAMA HAD VIOLATED NUMEROUS IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES THAT HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE INTERNET; WHY ARE THE REPUBLICANS ESPECIALLY CONGRESS DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO IMPEACH OBAMA? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR 2012 ELECTION TO GET RID OF OBAMA? IF OBAMA IS IMPEACHED BEFORE ELECTION IN 2012, AMERICA COULD SAVE BILLIONS I MEAN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CAMPAIGN EXPENSES AND FROM THE MONEY OF THE POOR AMERICANS WHO WOULD SPEND THEIR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR CANDIDATES. OUR ECONOMY WILL TURN AROUND FAST IF OBAMA IS IMPEACHED NOW. WE WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THE BLEEDING OF OUR ECONOMY AND THE BLOOD OF THE JOBLESS AMERICANS WHO ARE DISPARATE IN FINDING JOBS. THE AMERICAN DREAMS WHICH HAVE BEEN ON HOLD WHEN OBAMA WAS ELECTED WILL BE PUT BACK TO THE HEARTS OF EVERY AMERICANS. OBAMA WILL BE BACK TO HIS NATIVE COUNTRY OF KENYA IF WE IMPEACH HIM NOW….. WHY NOT NOW?
HOWLER and THE UNBELIEVERS:
HOWLER, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT OBAMA WILL BE IMPEACHED; YOU MUST BELIEVE ME, BECAUSE WE KNOW ALL THE CHARGES AGAINST OBAMA ARE REAL AND BACKED WITH EVIDENCES. IF YOU ARE TIRED OF THE TALKS, THEN YOU ARE TALKING TOO MUCH AND NEVER TRIED HARD TO HELP TO IMPEACH OBAMA. IF YOU INSIST ON BELIEVING THAT OBAMA WILL NOT BE IMPEACHED, THEN THE PEOPLE MIGHT THINK YOU ARE NOT PATRIOT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE IMPEACHMENT OF OBAMA. FELLOW AMERICANS, WE MUST WORK ON THIS WEAK SPOT OF OBAMA, WHICH ARE REALLY THE SPOT HE VULNERABLE AND COULD FALL DOWN AND NEVER GET UP AGAIN.. HE WILL FALL INTO HIS OWN TRAP OF LIES AND TRICKERY.. THE LIES HE TOLD AMERICA WILL HAUNT HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE UNTIL HE IS BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL COUNTRY OF KENYA TO BE WITH HIS FATHER'S PEOPLE…WE MUST BELIEVE LIKE WHEN OBAMA BELIEVED HE COULD CHANGE AMERICA AND MAKE US SUFFER. HE CHANGED AMERICA AND MADE US PAY FOR HIS DEBTS… SO, WE MUST BELIEVE WE CAN IMPEACH HIM SOON….BELIEVE…!!!!!
It doesnt matter what obama does, as far as the ainstream madia is concerned, obama is a God. Havent you noticed he can do no wrong. It is always someone else,s who did it. So forget it .No matter what he does, he will get by with it.When our country goes down,the people who like him ,will always agree with him, i also think the congress sounds off, just make us think they are trying,so they will gwt elected.I for one thinks ,untill GOD,takes him down, he will go on destroying the country.Guest
IMPEACH OBOMA!!!!!
