Veteran Black Newsman Says, Impeach Obama

by Ben Johnson, The White House Watch

Whatever groups might abandon Barack Obama in the polls, everyone knew black Americans would be the last to jump ship. Although the average black family’s net worth fell 83 percent between 2007 and 2009, a whopping 86 percent blacks still approve of the president. However, he lost Glen Ford, the “progressive” radio host of the Black Agenda Report, who has spent more than 40 years in journalism. In a recent commentary, Ford said not only should blacks disapprove of Obama’s performance, but they should call for his impeachment.

Ford drew attention to the Voters for Peace impeachment campaign, repeating its five impeachable offenses, with particular emphasis on the war in Libya.

“There has to be a multitude of impeachable offenses connected to the war on Libya alone, but they’re just the latest in a long list of high crimes and misdemeanors racked up by the first black president,” Ford said.

[W]ith Obama, we get a continuity of George Bush’s crimes, plus a whole host of new ones. Call it Bush-Plus. But, unlike during Bush’s crime spree, there is little clamor for Obama’s head outside the racist Right. If Michelle keeps Barack in check and there are no sexual indiscretions, it looks like he’ll have a record-breaking term in office, in terms of breaking the law. And Black Americans, by clinging to Obama, will lose the distinction of being a people that cherish justice most of all.

Video: Impeachment Debate — at the New York Times

Ben Johnson, The White House Watch

Serious discussion of impeachment has reached the most influential publication in the United States. The New York Times recently featured a Bloggingheads discussion under the headline, “Libya and Impeachment.”
The 70-minute discussion pitted Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com against Ilya Somin of George Mason University Law School. (Somin also blogs at The Volokh Conspiracy.) Last month, Greenwald told Amy Goodman of “Democracy Now!” he believed Obama’s Libyan war is an impeachable offense. Somin has stated the Libyan war violates the Constitution. Although the conversation winds over such topics as the War Powers Resolution, the debt ceiling, and drug legalization, the first 40 percent of the video focuses on Libya. The impeachment talk begins at 25 minutes in.

Since this is a New York Times debate, it means the option is discarded out of hand. Both agree it is “the most extreme” remedy and argue it is not “practical, or even…desirable.” Besides, it “would cause more harm than good.”

Instead, the conservative, Somin, argues House Republicans should just authorize the war. “A less drastic measure would be for Congress to pass a resolution that does authorize a continuation of U.S. military force in Libya, at least for some time,” Somin said. As David Frum recently wrote on the debt ceiling, apparently the Beltway thinking is when Obama violates the Constitution, conservatives should just cave.

Some of us have another solution, which we wish would have gotten a more serious airing in the Old Gray Lady.

Charlotte Highway Roadsign Hacked to Read, “Impeach Obama”

Ben Johnson, The White House Watch

The North Carolina Department of Transportation called for Barack Obama’s impeachment — at least for one day.

Over the weekend, someone hacked into an electronic highway sign and changed its message to a huge, blinking, “Impeach Obama.”

The sign — which is located at the intersection of Unionville-Indian Trail and Ridge roads in Union County, North Carolina — attracted drivers’ attention but apparently no complaints to the state. WSOC-TV reports it notified the NCDOT about the sign’s message on Sunday, and an engineer corrected the sign that evening.

Although one cannot condone this instance of defacing public property, the “Impeach Obama” message could be seen as equal time for the Obama propaganda signs that still….
