The way I look at it is if Clinton didnt get impeached for lying to congress and having sex with an intern, then I dont see how Obama could be. Discuss.

I think you need to look up what impeachment means. Clinton was impeached.

He was impeached by the House and acquitted by the Senate. Therefore, the impeachment proceeding failed.

Yes, the impeachment failed to remove him form office, but he was impeached nevertheless.

The video was as pointless as this thread. It's all talk, and all bullshit at that. The president has not even been FORMALLY accused of a crime that I am aware of. Clinton was a completely different situation altogether. I may not like some of his policies, but there has not been any impeachable offence charged at this point.





What is actually happening here is the left pointing out a right wing fart saying "oh look at them! So smelly." Trying to drum up drama over a political move by the right, who are trying to drum up support for their cause. In other words, if you watched the video and had any real fears of the right impeaching Obama, you bit the hook. Likewise if you watched the video and had any real aspirations to impeach the president, you're just as f*cking gullible.





Or to put it in terms either side of that coin will understand:

Now the house is putting together a lawsuit against him. Seems like a lot of people want him gone and out of office.

Clinton was impeached and not convicted. Bush had an impeachment bill brought against him but it didn't pass - and the impeachment was co-sponsored by the same empty-headed Democrat who just said they never impeached bush.



When someone does something illegal, one way to get them to stop is filing a lawsuit. The President is doing illegal things and they are filing a lawsuit. That said, anyone can sue anyone for anything, but it is up to the judge to say if the suit proceeds, and the court to say who is right.

NO, the timing is purely coincidental! No WAY would a modern Merikin politician do stuff based on upcoming elections only!
