Obama: Impeachment is not acceptable
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama laid out list of political shortcomings he sees in the Bush administration but said he opposes impeachment for either President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney.
<snip>
"There's a way to bring an end to those practices, you know: vote the bums out," the presidential candidate said, without naming Bush or Cheney. "That's how our system is designed."
<snip>
Obama, a Harvard law school graduate and former lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago, said impeachment should not be used as a standard political tool.
"I think you reserve impeachment for grave, grave breaches, and intentional breaches of the president's authority," he said.

And Obama calls himself a Constitutional Scholar or Expert?!

1. Makes sense. He cannot win wanting to impeach or agreeing to impeaching Bush.

20. Neither can Hillary. Which is why she doesn't address the issue either. Please be fair.
No she doesn't address it because her husband......you know the impeached one......was actually impeached.

9. agreed
my comment was an invitation to the OP to tell us why Senator Obama's supposed lack of interest in impeachment... was so much WORSE than Senator Clinton's lack of interest in impeachment.

bring criminal charges against then when they are out of office so they can't pardon themselves.

10. Yes and it pisses me off.
But all of our elective officials and party leaders have failed us on this issue.
So why blame Obama?
what have they failed??? Impeachment of bush is like Nifong and the Duke lacrosse players

11. Very true. We've heard lots of excuses, but this one takes the cake!
Especially since it comes from someone who portrays himself as a man of integrity, Constitutional scholar/expert etc.
I'm sick of the Lies & B.S.!

24. Did you read the OP or the article? Obama flat out said he opposes Impeachment of * & Cheney.
And then went on to explain that what * & Cheney did was not "grave enough" for Impeachment.
Read it yourself.
or
Are you in Complete Denial?
All of you with your damn BDS are in denial over impeachment

18. They aren't blaming him It basically shows that he's just a politician
because he is doing what he needs to do to win.
If he needed to impeach to win, you bet your ass he'd do it.

19. Posted 220 Days Ago... can you find anything more recent? Also, can you enlighten us on Hillary's
stance on impeachment? Was that her taking the 250,000 names to Congress last month?
