Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.) (click here) said Monday that he consulted lawyers about potentially impeaching President Obama, but that he ultimately decided there wasn’t enough evidence.
Bentivolio said he examined the matter after an encounter with Obama that left him disgusted.
“I went back to my office, and I had lawyers come in,” Bentivolio said at a town hall Monday. “These are lawyers, PhDs in history. And I said, ‘Tell me how I can impeach the President of the United States.’”
Bentivolio said he would need a smoking gun, such as an e-mail from the president directing the IRS to target conservatives.
This is the state of politics in the USA. Anything goes without fact or finding. It is a national shame.
President Obama is the greatest President we ever had. I mean you've got to be joking. Compare him to what he faced when he came into office with what Bush came into office with. No comparison.
Bush received a healthy economy, a national treasury surplus, growing economic trends across the board and a nation at peace.
President Obama came into office facing The Great Recession/Depression, an exploited American Dream, failing economy, two major wars, a huge national debt with STRUCTURAL deficit, discrimination of our Gay Community, our military was throwing out Gay Soldiers on a right regular basis under a dysfunctional "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and Americans dying due to No Health Insurance.
There is no comparison. Impeach what?
