The ‘buck’ doesn’t stop here…

The two major issues facing our Nation today centers around the abusive political powers exercised by the Obama administration. Both Benghazi and the IRS scandal call into question the trust that Americans have in their government; a government that gets its power from the people it governs. And it is clear to most of us that our president is not a person of trust.

Consider Obama’s address to the UN General Assembly on September 25th, 2012; sixteen days after the attack in Benghazi:

“That is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. Now, I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity.” ( Full Text @www.nytimes.com/2012/.../obamas-speech-to-the-united-nations-general-assembly.)


Barack Hussein Obama clearly lied to the United Nations and to the American people yet there is no outrage from the main stream media; the same media that forced Richard Nixon to resign the Office of President over lies concerning the Watergate break in. Do I need to remind the reader that no lives were lost in Watergate?

But the day after the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi, the White House released a schedule showing that President Obama would continue with his planned campaign trip to Las Vegas. That same morning in the Rose Garden Obama confirmed the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, the administration’s point man during the Libyan revolution, in a statement condemning the "outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans."

While omitting the reference to a terrorist attack, Obama went on to say,

"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants." In other words we reject the denigration of Muslim beliefs as depicted in a video.
All of this transpired after the last general election so what is our Nation to do?

In 1970, then Representative Gerald R. Ford defined impeachable offenses as "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."

In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:

1. Exceeding the constitutional bounds of the powers of the office.

2. Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.

3. Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.

Can there be any doubt when we look back over the last five years that we need to remove from the Office of the President, the current occupant? As a Nation we can no longer afford to tolerate the machinations of this Socialist regime. Clearly, unlike Harry Truman, the buck doesn’t stop here; but it should.
