    OK he won, now we move onto the Libya scandal. The "investigation" which is just a stonewall will produce a constitutional crisis as the Obama administration starts issuing executive privilege. They will try to cry unfair to the demands they disclose what happened as they try to protect Obama. And when the failure to protect our ambassador and personell and the cover up comes to light will there be an impeachment? Will those who protect and defend him now do so when they are faced with the facts?

    Americans decided yesterday that 4 dead Americans and a lying scumbag Administration engaging in a cover up are not important issues.

    When the first call after the election is for 'impeachment' it sounds like the very, very bitter cry of the losers.

    I think that what happened in Benghazi warrents a thorough and unbiased investigation. I think the truth- in as much as it doesn't compromise the security of our country- should be known.

    If anyone did anything criminal- then prosecute them. If there were failures of judgement or grossly negligent errors, then the persons who made the mistakes should be held responsible. Most importantly we should learn from what happened, rather than just attempt to assign blame and exploit this for political purposes.

    But a call for impeachment before the investigation from someone who has been calling for Obama to be out of office for at least two years just smacks of bitter grapes from someone who just can't stand that Obama won the election.

    This is exactly why Obama won, people aren't taking this type of crap seriously.

    They just want a government that starts to work once again, instead of all this petty back biting crap.

    Please, for the love of humanity, use some common sense.

    Let's try something novel, how about encouraging our congress to get off it's collective asses and actually work together for once?

    sadly, that is the reality. Heck, in MA they so badly wanted a Democrat, any Democrat as the Senator, that they even elected her. If you are looking for any sense of it there is none. It is no longer about what is for good of country, rather it's a popularity contest and what free stuff can be had.

    So, for those who have a deep seated love of country can either learn to compete in an era of that mentality or drive yourself nuts trying to understand the liberal mindset when there is no rational explanation for it.

    Great idea champ. The Benghazi impeachment is a lock so long as you have Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh pressing the issue....I'm pretty sure you can count on their full support....You guys better get started on digging up some dirt on Biden so you can execute back to back impeachments thereby installing Boener as president...If properly executed, this couldn't take more than a few months....That's what I like about you guys....You're always thinkin'...ONWARD!!!

    Running over a particular right-wing website, impeachment is one of the mildest course of actions for these anti-American losers.

    They are in full on crazy mode and naturally they are blaming everybody but themselves.

    Impeachment. Hmmmm.

    Well, I can not think of a high crime or misdemeanor that Obama has committed. If we are going to turn impeachment into a partisan tool, why not just impeach every president immediately upon being inaugurated?

    Actually we decided there was no cover up and that it is a disgrace that republicans would try to take 4 Americans who were murdered and use them for political reasons.

    That is beacuse they are all for people having personal responsibility, unless it is them that has to take some.

    They will continue to whine and make up fantasy scenerios where they can magically undo their mistakes, count on more wild crackpot theories and never foregt to roll out the same old failed ones again and again. When one really thinks about it it is obvious that some of them are just PO'ed but some of them are truely mentally ill and need of room with padding and a jacket where they hug themselves and are no longer a danger to themselves or others. Today is no different than after the 2008 Election and the next four years will be another four years of RWNJ whining. The good thing is the longer they whine and the more crazy stuff they claim is truth the less thinking Americans will give them credit. At one time I would have been glad to see the GOP self-implode but now it is just sad to watch, maybe the GOP will finally learn they need a reformation and need it NOW.

    I can't think of a recent president that hasn't committed a high crime or misdomeanor that deserved impeachment and removal from office. President Obama has already done that during his first term.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/united-states/210607-downsize-org-calls-impeachment-president.html

    Of course the violation of US law and the Constitution doesn't imply that Congress is going to actually impeach and remove a president from office because that is more political than legal in nature. We need only look at the case of Bill Clinton as there was no question that he obstructed justice and committed perjury, both felonies, and yet wasn't removed from office by the Democrats in the Senate for political reasons.

    obama told defense contractors not to send out the WARN notices, telling them the feds will pay for any penalities and legal costs. The law requires contractors to send layoff notices 60 days before a mass layoff, failure to send teh notices incurs fines and leaves a company open to lawsuits. obama was using tax money to encourage defense contractors to break the law for re-election purposes. Sounds like a good reason for impeachment.

    This is one of the most silly "reasons" I've ever read. If the defense contractor doesn't send out the layoff notice they can't layoff the worker until 60 days after the notice is sent out. The defense contractors know this and they won't break the law, period, because they can't. They would end up paying the worker for the 60 days and no laws would be broken.

    Wild speculation is typical of extremist right-wingers. Of course there isn't a cover-up of what happened in Benghazi. We know pretty much what happened already and the US military, which was responsible for responding, made all of the right calls.

    Obama could murder a girl scout on TV, and Senate Dems would not impeach him.

    This whole thread- coming the day after the election where Obama was not kicked out of office like the OP so desperately wanted to happen appears to any rational person as nothing more than what it is.

    "You"- meaning the radical conservatives- couldn't get convince the voters that Obama should go, so you want to use impeachment to reverse the voters decision.

    If you want to effectively remove the Republicans from Presidential contention again- just keep advocating impeachment as a solution to not winning an election.

    Impeachment, warranted or not, will not even come up in the conversion, much less be pursued. For 4 years we have witnessed the personal attacks targeted at anyone who even questions Obama's actions, speech or policies and that won't change. I wouldn't be surprised if we never even see a serious investigation of Benghazi. They buried F&F and now that Obama has been reelected, he's virtually untouchable. Try impeachment and there will be riots in the streets. No one in DC will risk that. Benghazi will quietly go away and the death of 4 American's will quickly become just another bump in road.
