The Impeachment Issue
Monty Pelerin / Economic Noise
The question of the day, at least in my mind, was the question of the day four years ago. When will the Democrats turn on Barack Obama?
Even the most cynical among us regarding political ethics and integrity know there is some point when the supporters turn. Bruce Bialosky discussed this issue in an excellent piece:
We are all guilty of providing a wide leeway to a politician that we favor. If the politician is someone we support, we restrain ourselves when something becomes public that would have us in a tizzy if done by someone with whom we dislike politically. That is referred to as “cutting someone some slack.” But there is a limit for everyone like there was for Anthony Weiner or Larry Craig. When will the grownups in the Democratic Party say enough is enough with Barack Obama?
How Bad Is It?
There is no economic recovery; nor can there be one given Obama’s policies. ObamaCare is a known disaster, acknowledged as much by many of its supporters and those most vulnerable to voter wrath. Creatures will continue to crawl out from under rocks as this monstrosity unfolds.
Obama is now readying to present a budget that claims that his first five years represented “austerity” and it is now time for government to begin spending again. Delusional is the only word that comes to mind regarding this belief.
The word “tyranny” is increasingly used to describe Obama’s style of governance. He clearly believes that his branch of the government is more equal than the other two branches. He did not believe that until he became president.
Scandal fatigue is another factor. No other Administration has been so embroiled in the number, magnitude and Constitutionally pertinent scandals. No other Administration has “stonewalled” investigations like this one. Richard Nixon was threatened with impeachment and asked to resign over what looks like jaywalking compared to the egregious improprieties of this Administration. Forty-year old ethics (which weren’t much when Nixon held office) would have forced impeachment hearings and probable resignation in Obama’s first term.
Internationally the world doubts whether the US can be trusted. Long-term allies distance themselves; long-term enemies are emboldened. Obama’s kumbaya version of diplomacy has been an utter failure. Realpolitic has overpowered his fairyland vision.
American has never been held in less esteem by the international community. Obama now ranks behind the hapless Jimmy Carter in terms of international respect. The world is substantially more dangerous as a result of his leadership (probably not a word that should be used in the same paragraph with “Obama”).
Is It Bad Enough?

Just another testament to the no balls cesspool. Congress has not gotten their collective sock full yet. When they you will see martial law and then we the people are F*-ked!
There are no “grownups” in the Democrat Party. If they were “adults,” they’d be conservatives.
The Democrats will NEVER turn on their first black President! They will lie, cheat, misdirect, create diversions, accuse the other side, circle the wagons but will never turn on him or any other Democrat no matter how bad he is or what he does to this country. They would rather watch this country erupt into civil war due to their own policies rather than admit a mistake or criticize another Democrat.
