‘I Agree’: Bachmann Responds to Supporter‘s Call to ’Impeach’ Obama

Michele Bachmann’s campaign is being forced to respond to a video that just surfaced from a campaign stop in Iowa — a video in which she “agrees” with a man who says President Obama should be impeached.
“When will we impeach him and get him out of the way?” the supporter can be seen asking Bachmann.
“Well, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, I agree, I agree. Some people are really upset,” she responds quickly, and then moves on:
A campaign spokeswoman tried to explain away the comments to National Journal by saying that “[Bachmann] was not saying that she agrees that Obama should be impeached. She agreed with the man on what they were talking about before- that people are frustrated.”
It’s unclear from the video what the two were talking about “before,” but Bachmann does reference a question the man may have asked during her speech.
“That was a great question, too, by the way,” she says before the man launches into the impeachment comments.
Now the question becomes: Is it better to embrace or back down from the comments? For now, the campaign has done the latter. But that could end up backfiring, too, as there is a large contingent of conservatives that are upset enough with the president to want to at least throw around the term impeachment and not have it dismissed, even if there are no grounds to bring charges against him.
Either way, once again the campaign is being forced to clarify or defend the faltering candidate’s statements.

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 1:16pmObama should not be impeached. He is beatable in the upcoming election. If he is impeached, it would open the door for Hillary or another democrat to run in the general election. They (the democrat nominee) would have a better chance winning against the GOP nominee. Let Obama stay and he’ll be gone in due time.

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 1:22pmYes, but think there’s a growing number of not-so-radical Dems who realize the unelectability of Obama plus they think he’s dangerous for the country — and are planning to have him primaried or something — want Hillary. We’ll see what happens — but yes, the good news is we’d be rid of Obama but the bad news is Hillary would be much harder to beat.

So lets assume its plausible to impeach him… should “we”? Is it better to leave him in office til ‘12 elections where he may, may be voted out. OR impeach him now where we get Biden in the big chair with Boehner as VP, dont forget that, where Biden will be on cruise control, MAYBE, til the 12 election that we know Biden wont get re-elected!
Clearly by now there is something to impeach him on from Solyndra to Fast & Furious bigger question to ask is should we and why has no one stepped up to the plate and put it in motions!! Paul, Bachmann are on board but its all RHETORIC to get votes folks. Call their bluff if they are serious, go beyond do you support impeaching and ask what are you waiting for?!
As of now they are just playing with you esp you Ron Paul people! You are so on board with him and you dont even realize this. He is playing you all to reel you in for votes. Call you guys bluff and start asking him why he hasnt started impeachment process! You will get a song and dance I guarantee it, b/c he is all talk… Im wrong you want to attack me call me neocon fine, but fact matter remains you neolibs are being played b/c I know he wont pull the trigger on impeachment of BHO!

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 2:02pmThere will be no impeachment of Obama. There are too many right wing progressotards who will join the left wing fruits and nuts.
Just about the only way at this point is for the MILITARY to step in and arrest him for subversion and dereliction of duty to Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States of America. They could cite the 4th Amendment Article IV which guarantee’s to every State and citizen a Republican form of Government. Once arrested he can officially be charged with High Treason, and summarily executed. While they’re at it they can yank that pedo/racist communist freak Woodrow Wilson out of the Mausoleum and execute him (just as a symbol for perverting the Constitution and the electoral process with the 17th Amendment) right along side Obama. Throw their worthless carcasses to the Great White Sharks. Even that is probably better than either of those 2 deserve.

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 2:08pmThe Speaker of the House does NOT automatically become the VP. The position is 3rd in line for succession, yes. So if something were to happen to both the President & VP, then the Speaker would rise to the Presidency. But, if something happens to the President and the VP becomes the President, the Speaker does not assume the VP.
According to the 25th Amendment, “Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”

2 African Citizens = Natural Born African Citizen
2 Mexican Citizens = Natural Born Mexican Citizen

A Child born of 2 people holding different nationalities can NEVER be “NATURAL BORN” and is technically an automatic Dual Citizenship, they can decide when they are older… Dual Citizenship EXEMPTS you from EVER holding presidency in the USA, OBVIOUSLY for LOYALTY reasons.

And that my friend would be akin to committing National suicide. There’s a plan A and a plan B. Obama was plan A with a combination of fascist and Mao communism, and if the Nation turned too much against him, the fake storefront known as the DNC would push Clinton to the forefront, and her politics are probably even worse than Obama’s, absorbed in pure Mao philosophy and painted around the edges with a mix of Islamic Socialism, fascism, and Stalinism.
Democrats no longer exist in America. That party died with the assassination of JFK. Johnson was a pure progressive Marxist.
I digress at that point. Clinton would not hesitate to crush America into the new world standard of totalitarian communism.

This popular use of impeach as a synonym of “throw out” (even if by due process) does not accord with the legal meaning of the word. As recent history has shown, when a public official is impeached, that is, formally accused of wrongdoing, this is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to the official’s removal from office. In strict usage, an official is impeached (accused), tried, and then convicted or acquitted. The vaguer use of impeach reflects disgruntled citizens’ indifference to whether the official is forced from office by legal means or chooses to resign to avoid further disgrace.

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 1:11pmIt takes TOO LONG to do this. Here is what I think should happen:
1. VOTE OBAMA OUT OF OFFICE
2. STRIP HIM OF HIS ENTITLEMENTS, since he is NOW a MILLIONAIRE BECAUSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
3. MAKE THE RECORD SHOW WHAT HE HAS DONE, WAS WRONG TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
4. REVERSE SOME OF THE BILLS HE HAS SIGNED, SUCH AS OBAMACARE.
5. VOTE THE DEMOCRATS OUT OF OFFICE, THOSE WHO ARE PROGRESSIVES AND DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD (religion does not matter – if you do not believe in God, then you ARE NOT A MORAL PERSON no matter how much your excuse or justify yourself).
Morality COMES FROM GOD. EVIL COMES FROM SATAN. Even Jesus told us that you cannot sit on the fence for either side and BE FOR MORALITY – YOU ARE EITHER FOR ONE OR THE OTHER (if you straddle the fence, then you are evil, progressive, liberal). Figure it out people.

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 1:04pmWhile I truly agree that Obama should be impeached because he has re-routed all of us around the Constitution, it just won’t happen! Impeachment is controlled by Congress and how far do you think that will go with a Democratic majority Senate? It won’t happen.
The next best thing is to vote out Democrats, moderates in the Senate and vote Obama out of office and spend those next 8 years FIXING what the Democrats have done, which includes ObamaCare and all those other ENTITLEMENT evils.
However, I do not believe it will ever be fixed again as I believe, because I believe in God’s word, the Bible, that we are at the END OF THE AGE before Christ comes again AND the antichrist is getting ready to take over. The Bible clearly tells us there will be a period of peace, but then sudden destruction shall come upon the earth (directly after the Rapture). In other words, the Rapture will take place, removing all TRULY BORN-AGAIN FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST and not Christians in name only, and the Holy Spirit will be removed, as well. The antichrist will introduce himself upon the world stage as someone who can fix it all and the those who did not follow Christ will BELIEVE HIS LIE, for 3-1/2 years. This is the beginning of the end for 7 years. If you do follow Christ; if you do not love Christ; if you have not taken HIM as your personal Savior, then you WILL BE LEFT BEHIND – PERIOD. R U READY?

Report Post »Perhaps, when BHO whips out his Executive Order pen and writes his amnesty for illegals law, he can then be impeached for (continuing) abuse of EO privilages. Even if he is impeached, as long as Eric Holder is in DOJ, they’ll just keep it in the courts and/or investigative mode until after Nov 2012.

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 12:55pmWhat do you mean stands by her convictions? She has already flip flopped.
A campaign spokeswoman tried to explain away the comments to National Journal by saying that “[Bachmann] was not saying that she agrees that Obama should be impeached. She agreed with the man on what they were talking about before- that people are frustrated.”

Posted on October 5, 2011 at 1:35pmHey Ace, was that Perry and Cain that sat in an anti-American church for years? Do Cain and Perry go around and apologize for America to idiots in other countries? Did either of their wives ever admit to never being proud of their country? The list goes on and on. Obama IS a divider, and he holds a grudge against his country. Bachmann should stand by her words. They are the truth.

Report Post »You are the epitome of ignorance and lack of integrity. Paul never said that “Bush did 9/11″. You are a liar. No different than the creeps in the MSM. GWB couldn’t excuse himself from the room to fart if he wanted to.
All Paul is saying on Iran is that you‘d have to have a full scale ground invasion to put any stop to Iran’s nuclear program. Our military is already worn out and committing record suicides from Iraq, and Afghanistan. He’s saying that Israel has 300+ nukes, and would smoke Iran if they even got close to thinking of launching one. It’s better to face them down like Reagan did with the Soviets, than recklessly start WWIII.
Finally, that all Bachmann has DONE is rip off Ron Paul. Who do you think she invited to her town hall meeting when all of the other “representatives” were getting their butts chewed? That’s right, Ron Paul. The man who has gotten more donations from the military than ALL of the other Repub candidates COMBINED, and even more than Ohmamma. The man who is a military veteran himself. The man who raised 8 million dollars this quarter from regular individuals and families, not corporate fatcat bankers, and lobbyists.
