Is Obama hiding the truth about Benghazi because the truth would impeach him?

| Even with his own reelection soundly in the bag, President Barack Obama is keeping the truth about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi as secret as his own locked-from-public-knowledge credentials. With four more years in his pocket to complete his destructive Fundamental Transformation of America, Obama is refusing outright to inform Americans why calls for help from American Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans to save their lives were ignored until their own violent deaths silenced them. This was Obama’s non-answer to Fox News reporter Ed Henry’s simple question at the White House yesterday:

He won´t be impeached no matter what he did or didn´t do. The Democrats in the Senate will not vote for removal under any circumstances even if treason could be proved. We need to just quit bringing up impeachment it´s a waste of time.

He´s hiding the truth for two reasons: 1. Yes, the truth would be impeachable; 2. He´s incapable of ever telling the truth under any circumstances.

Sorry for the double post, but #1, you are incorrect. The Senate is needed only to convict, and you are probably correct that they won´t. However, that doesn´t mean that the HOR can´t and won´t impeach the president. That´s what they did to Clinton. Impeachment is certainly not a waste of time here.

Obama is dragging his feet and maintaining a coverup until the Electoral College casts their votes no later than Christmas Eve. He is not the President elect until the votes are opened in early January. If Benghazi were to blow wide open and confirm gross negligence and perhaps a treasonous cover-up, would electors change their votes? I want answers before they cast their votes in mid December. We could avoid the impeachment process which our country can not tolerate now.
The drumbeat should be exposure now.

While the real work in Washington is going on over the budget, too many are obsessing over a minor event with the hope it will lead to the removal of Obama. Obama won the election, he is the choice of far more than half the population. Time to move on and fight the battles of the future.

He is protected by the media lapdogs, a cooperative senate leadership, a spineless house leadership and ValJar and the rottweilers of one world government.

#12´s glimmer won´t work if citizens don´t get serious about voter/election fraud by ensconced libtards fraudulently counting the votes. You need some public hangings to make it somewhat risky for these traitorous cretins to cheat. And that means starting today people, not someday. As well as local libtard judges who enable the cheaters to not be brought to account for their crimes. Look at what the West campaign is going through with their challenge.

It takes 67 in the Senate to convict. It will never happen. I think it´s something even worse than impeachment they fear. I think they´re afraid a NATO ally, Turkey, was complicit in an attack on American soil which resulted in the deaths of 4 Americans. That´s why they don´t want to investigate. That´s why the militia ringleader sips orange frappes in a downtown Benghazi hotel without a care in the world.

The Benghazi "Annex" was a warehouse of arms which the CIA had illegally provided to the Libyan "rebels" (Muslim Brotherhood). They were trying to confiscate them so they could ship them to the "rebels" (Muslim Brotherhood) in Syria through Turkey. That´´s why Ambassador Stevens had dinner with the Turkish Ambassador the night he was killed. And that´s why this bunch of reprobates in the White House will do anything to keep it under wraps.

#12, I believe it requires a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate to convict an impeached president and remove him from office. Unless 2/3 of the citizens of the U.S. want him removed from office and are willing to vote accordingly in the 2014 elections (or in even greater numbers to counteract the inevitable Democrat voter fraud), then we cannot get rid of Obama this way.

Thank you #3 and #4. You are correct about the HOR does the Impeaching (a la Clinton) but the Senate does the convicting (they didn´t convict Clinton). Also until the Electoral College does their formal vote, he is only the supposed winner of the 2012 election. This is probably why he is dragging his feet.
If I were in the HOR, I would push for articles of impeachment. Obama is setting a very dangerous precedent for our country by being allowed to disregard the Constitution. The House must uphold it now, or we are lost. I have my doubts that the Supreme Court will do anything to help to rectify the criminal actions by our fraud in the WH.

"I can can tell you that immediately upon finding out that our folks were in danger, that my orders to my national security team were do whatever we need to do to make sure they’re safe. And that’s the same order I would give any time that I see Americans are in danger — whether they’re civilian or military — because that’s our number one priority.”
Apparently they didn´t follow your orders.

Poster #4, I searched for an answer, only 24 states don´t have the requirement that Electors vote the way their states has them pledged. The other 26 states and DC have State Law # listed, a few replace the Elector who refuses to vote the way they are pledged.
In Oklahoma (and three other states, it is a misdemeanor with up to a $1,000 fine to change their vote, however they are pledged to Romney.
If Benghazi gets more attention, and more scandals get some actual air time in the Pravda press, who knows. Yesterday, I saw a red/blue map by county and even California was a sea of red with little islands of blue on the coast.
Has it ever happened that an Elector revolt changed the outcome of the election?

Bernard Anderson, a pathbreaking African-American economist, understands the importance of rhetoric. He was up front at the Lincoln Memorial when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. And he was in the audience on the Howard University campus in 1965 to hear President Johnson deliver a grim view of the state of black America and declare war on “past injustice and present prejudice.” So Anderson had high hopes as he sat at home in Pennsylvania watching President Obama deliver his second Inaugural Address this year.

On guns and deficit reduction, two cornerstones of the Obama agenda, Sen. Pat Toomey may hold the key to compromise.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....

WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget in an effort to demonstrate his willingness to compromise with Republicans and revive prospects for a long-term deficit-reduction deal, administration officials say. In a significant shift in fiscal strategy, Mr. Obama on Wednesday will send a budget plan to Capitol Hill that departs from the usual presidential wish list that Republicans typically declare dead on arrival.

Washington is edging closer to a budget deal, thanks to a gutsy change in strategy at the White House. Next week, President Obama will propose specific cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget, according to senior White House officials. That will put the onus on House Speaker John Boehner to show some leadership, too. He needs to push Republicans toward accepting tax increases beyond the $600 billion approved in December. It can be done. As I reported last month, Washington’s biggest myth is that a budget deal is out of reach

WASHINGTON — The North Korean army warned the United States on Wednesday it has been cleared to wage nuclear war using “smaller, lighter and diversified weapons.” In a speech earlier in the day, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel noted that North Korea has both the nuclear weapons and the delivery system “now.” It’s the latest round in an escalation of rhetoric and actions that began with a North Korean nuclear test in February. Still, military officials and experts don’t expect North Korea to launch an attack on the United States.

Two breaking news alerts came through the wire this afternoon: First, the AP sent word that Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has called North Korea´s latest rhetoric a real, clear danger and threat to the U.S. and its allies. Within minutes, CNBC announced that the Pentagon has sent a new missile defense to Guam. The reports that followed those alerts added some meat to the storty -- "Hagel´s comments come as tensions continue to rise between North and South Korea," etc. -- but they are notably lacking in context. How serious is the threat, really? Are the North and South on the verge of war, or is this yet another bluff?

In a bizarre new twist to the saga of Sen. Bob Menendez and his donor-friend Salomon Melgen, members of Melgen’s circle are now hurling accusations at FBI agents investigating the pair’s relationship. During an appearance on the weekly Dominican TV show La Respuesta last week, Melgen’s uncle Vincho Castillo accused the FBI of threatening and kidnapping two of Melgen’s maids. In addition to being the Dominican Republic’s top drug cop and founder of a far right-wing political party, Vincho Castillo is also the father of Vinicito Castillo, a lawyer who allegedly participated in sex parties organized by Melgen.

My nephew’s high school government class is studying propaganda, a word most students associated with Hitler, Goebbels, and the like. “I deal with propagandists every day,” I told the class in the Detroit area last week. “They work in the White House and in Congress--Republicans and Democrats alike.” The kids were a bit surprised. “Are you calling them Nazis?” one asked. Of course not, I replied, but politicians today are using new communications tools to spread their version of the truth, much of it misleading. A smart piece by Nancy Benac of the Associated Press describes how the Obama White House “image machine” works--“serving up a stream of words, images, and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding, compassionate, and on the ball.

Since November, the prospective death of the Republican coalition has hovered over American politics, and the autopsy has gained renewed attention in light of the debates over gay marriage and immigration, both of which split the GOP from rising chunks of the electorate. I’m an advocate of the theory, first put forward a decade ago by Ruy Teixeira and John Judis, that the electorate is forming a natural Democratic majority. The Republican Party appears to be caught in a double bind, in which the electorate is growingly progressively less white, and even younger white voters hold less conservative views than older ones. What’s more, evidence suggests that voters maintain the partisan allegiances they form at a young age. The picture looks grim for the GOP.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
