Tom Coburn: Obama 'Getting Perilously Close' To Standard For Impeachment

Ironic that he doesn't mention exactly what law has been broken. I am ashamed to have Coburn (R-Knucklehead) and Inhofe (R-Moron) as my Senators. The truth is that President Obama has outsmarted the republicans at every opportunity. The republicans are so defeated that all they can resort to now is threats to shut down the government and idiotic threats of impeachment for no apparent legal reason.

Remember what Gerald Ford said: you can impeach a ham sandwich for being a ham sandwich. The reality is, the standard for impeachment is Pissing Off the Republican Party, and Obama has definitely done that.

After all, Obama is throwing whistleblowers in the slammer for decades and disappearing them, crushing the throats of journalists with a muddy boot, indiscriminately droning thousands of innocents to death across the globe, illegally spying on EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN every single minute of every single day, partying with Wall Street, making secret free trade agreements with Asian and Latin American countries…

Yes, Tom Coburn, according to the DU, Obama SHOULD be impeached!

…or are all you guys just kidding?

is lousy when it comes to transparency. Yes, the NSA is out of control. the latter is more systemic than anything else. yes, the drone policy is horrible and yes double tapping has been documented.

No one here is saying that he should be impeached.

Like to make up shit, don't you, hon?
