Can we impeach the president now?

Roger L. Simon, in arguing for a good “major motion picture” about the administration’s criminal behavior in the Ben Ghazi affair, sums up why impeachment is warranted:

“And mysteries abound – just where was the president of the United States that night our ambassador and others were under terror attack in North Africa?  Why wasn’t Obama directly involved? Why did the secretary of State pay so little attention?

“Just what was our ambassador to Libya doing in Benghazi that night anyway? Why were the perpetrators allowed to escape?  Why did the president lie for weeks about what transpired, trying to make a hopeless video nobody saw seem  the cause of the event?   And why were his lies covered up by CNN’s Candy Crowley [in the debate with Romney]? Why was no attempt made to save our people in the first place?”

This is only one reason to impeach King Putz. He was already complicit to an earlier murder. Not that we can expect the slumbering Democrat news media to support the idea, even if the stupid party dared. Rand Paul, maybe. Except that he’s a senator and under the oft-violated U.S. Constitution the House impeaches and the Senate tries. Mr. Boehner?

  1. “Just what was our ambassador to Libya doing in Benghazi that night anyway?”

    It may be an interesting question, but 1) not necessarily pertinent to the issue of poor security. and 2) could deserve discretion if the reason was in the covert intelligence area.

    Lying is another matter. Here you have it, although I wouldn’t dare to have an opinion whether its’ a sufficient reason for impeachment, not knowing enough about the process.

  2. High crimes and misdemeanors are grounds for impeachment—and ignoring an embattled American ambassador certainly would qualify. Similarly, Slick Willie was impeached (though not convicted and expelled from office) for his scandalous affair with Monica.

  3. Where was Obama? The answer is fairly obvious — he was prepping to fly out to Las Vegas (again) in a few hours for a campaign stop/fundraiser, & couldn’t be bothered with some problem where no problems were supposed to exist. Seriously. I don’t know why this hasn’t occurred to the press — all of them, Left or Right.

    And no one has touched on the question of who ordered the Marine reaction team out of Rota to deplane & change into civilian clothes before they could depart? That resulted in a delay of some 1.5 hours. The two ex-SEALs were killed in the final hour of the attack.
