Nat Hentoff - Impeach Obama

[Coda]

WASHINGTON — Worse than Richard Nixon. An unprecedented abuse of powers. The most un-American president in the nation’s history.

Nat Hentoff does not think much of President Obama.

And now, the famous journalist says it is time to begin looking into impeachment.

Hentoff sees the biggest problem as Obama’s penchant to rule by executive order when he can’t convince Congress to do things his way.

The issue jumped back into the headlines last week when, just before his first Cabinet meeting of 2014, Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone … and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions.”

The Supreme Court right now is deciding if Obama exceeded his authority by making recess appointments when Congress considered itself in session. The court should be the first recourse in deciding if a branch has exceeded its authority, because impeachment always looks like (and usually is) partisan. Hentoff definitely has a point, though, that our executive is legislating from his desk with statements about what the law is going to be replacing what the law actually says. To kind dispositions, that's going to look OK but it is dangerous.

Obama has issued fewer executive orders than any President since Grover Cleveland

I hesitate to post this because we don't have Goody here to froth at the mouth about me saying it, but I'll definitely be looking third party if Hillary is nominated.

Obama has been a great disappointment. But think of the alternative.


How come Cheney, Bush and Rumsfeld aren't in prison?

I'd be happy to see a couple of bankers in jail.
