The Case for Impeaching Barack Obama

Commentary from Allen West on CNS News.com (Oct. 7):

Yes, you read the title of this missive correctly.

As a career military officer, we never believed that you win on defense. During the constant, incessant, and insidious attacks on President Trump, I believe there should be a full-fledged attack to evidence the abject, utter hypocrisy of the progressive socialist left. If I were on any news program and was asked about the “impeachment inquiry” of President Trump, I would pivot and discuss the case for impeaching Barack Obama…and why the progressive socialist left defended his indefensible actions.

If in this current frenzy by the left and their media accomplices about Ukraine, the issue is about national security, I can counter that.

Early in 2009, Barack Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt to deliver an address to the Muslim world. I have no issue with his wanting to have an outreach. But we should all agree that Obama’s requesting members of the Muslim Brotherhood to be in attendance, front and center, was ill advised. All one need to do is understand the history of the Muslim Brotherhood, the grandfather of modern-day Islamic jihadism.

When Morsi won the election, quite questionably, it was Barack Obama who congratulated him and offered US support, to include military aid…to a Muslim Brotherhood backed president. The people of Egypt were indignant, and in the end, revolted against Morsi and overthrew him for a new President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Barack Obama condemned Egypt and its so-called coup, threatening to cut off any US aid…which he was willing to supply to a Muslim Brotherhood backed government.

Second point, Barack Obama claimed that there was a major crisis in Libya and ended up outsourcing our military support and aid to Islamic jihadist organizations against President Muammar al-Gaddafi. There was evidence that Gaddafi was willing to negotiate his removal and departure from Libya, but instead, Obama supplied weapons, intelligence, and air support to Islamic terrorists who did overthrow, and execute, Gaddafi. Since when did the United States provide military aid to Islamic terrorists? [read more]

Colonel West made good points.

I think Bill Clinton should have been impeached but not for lying—although that is bad too but for assault which I believe is a felony. Let me explain. I was listening to Dick Morris’ audiobook   Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary when he mentioned that Bubba tackled him when Clinton was president. Dick Morris wouldn’t lie for Hillary Clinton (which might be impeachable—talk about abuse of power!) so Bubba tackled him when Dick Morris walked away from him. Bill was about to start hitting him when Hillary stopped him. Morris said this was reported in the press but I don’t remember hearing about it (I wonder why!).  I wonder if Alan Dershowitz and other constitutional scholars/lawyers would say this was an impeachable act.
