    Great article about our shit stain president that sums up what most of us already knew.

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


    President Richard Nixon
    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.”

    “Apparently he doesn’t give one damn about the separation of powers,” Hentoff told WND. “Never before in our history has a president done these things.”

    And just to make sure everyone knew how extremely serious he regarded the situation, the journalist added, “This is the worst state, I think, the country has ever been in.”


    President Barack Obama
    Read “The Case for Impeachment” and know why Obama has got to go before America is done for …

    Many have regarded Hentoff as the conscience of civil libertarianism and liberalism for decades.

    Recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Court, Hentoff was a columnist and staff writer with The Village Voice for 51 years, from 1957 until 2008, when his columns began appearing in WND.

    Hentoff left the Voice after he looked into the abortion industry, was shocked by what he found and had a falling-out with colleagues.

    The First Amendment expert still hews left on many issues, railing against former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, the prison at Guantanamo Bay and the National Defense Authorization Act.

    But he hasn’t liked Obama from the start.

    “Within a few months after he was elected, I wrote a column saying he was going to be the most destructive, dangerous president we’ve ever had,” he said.

    Hentoff said people he’d known for years told him to stop being so negative and to give Obama a chance.

    “Well, we’ve given him a chance. I understated the case a little.”

    In other words, Hentoff thinks Obama is the most dangerous and destructive president ever.

    And, that’s why the veteran journalist thinks it’s time to begin looking into impeachment.

    Get the bumper sticker that tells everyone to Impeach Obama!

    “He has no right to do these executive orders,” Hentoff insisted, his voice reaching a crescendo of indignation.


    Nat Hentoff
    He says Obama gets away with it only because there is no outrage in Congress, no coverage by the media and no knowledge by the public.

    “He’s in a position now where he figures he’s going to do whatever he wants to do.”

    In fact, Hentoff said, Obama doesn’t even pretend to care about the separation of powers between the executive branch and Congress anymore, because “He’s the boss and hardly anybody cares enough” to stop him.

    The most well-known examples of Obama changing or issuing laws with the stroke of a pen by issuing executive orders include:

    Delaying the employer mandate in Obamacare
    Changing the types of plans available under Obamacare
    Ensuring abortions would be covered under Obamacare
    Enacting key provisions of the failed Dream Act to halt deportations of illegal immigrants
    Enacting stricter gun-control measures
    Sealing presidential records
    Creating an economic council
    Creating a domestic policy council
    Changing pay grades
    As WND previously reported, even the the far left-leaning FactCheck wrote, “It’s true that President Obama is increasingly using his executive powers in the face of staunch Republican opposition in Congress. He’s changed federal policies on immigration and welfare and appointed officials without congressional approval.”

    “I would say that never before in our history had a president done these things,” Hentoff mused.

    He noted that while Nixon merely claimed that winning an election gave him the right to do what he wanted, Obama is actually doing whatever he pleases.

    The journalist said he doesn’t think any other president has acted so lawlessly as a matter of habit.

    “So, if this isn’t a reason for at least the start of an independent investigation that would lead to impeachment, what is?”

    Hentoff is baffled that Obama should escape such scrutiny when former President Bill Clinton faced impeachment just for being “a lousy liar.”


    President Bill Clinton
    A big part of the problem, the journalist believes, is what he calls the utter ignorance of a huge portion of the population, which is not outraged at losing its basic right to be self-governing.

    And Obama “doesn’t give a damn, because he can get away with whatever he wants.”

    That’s why Hentoff called this the worst state the country has ever been in, “Even worse than Woodrow Wilson’s regime, when people could be arrested for speaking German.”

    Compounding the problem he says, is the digital age, which has allowed the president to engage in unprecedented domestic spying with the apparatus of the National Security Agency.

    WND asked if Obama really posed such a threat, considering he was a professor of constitutional law.

    “People forget, he taught a course that he was not fully qualified to teach. But nobody seemed to care,” Hentoff observed.

    He also pointed out that Obama was the only editor of the Harvard Law Review to never publish an article, something that went virtually unnoticed when voters considered his qualifications.

    “See, that was a case of affirmative-action and people feeling, ‘Hey we ought to do something important, symbolically, and here’s a black guy, and he’s articulate, so we’re gonna do this.’”

    Hentoff mentioned that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, the man Time Magazine once called “the most doctrinaire and committed civil libertarian ever to sit on the court,” once personally lectured him that “Affirmative-action on a racial basis is a total violation of the 14th Amendment, no doubt about it.”

    And, referring to Obama’s presidency, the journalist said, “That’s what that kind of affirmative-action did for us.”

    He told WND that he firmly believed the president does not care about due process, the separation of powers, the concept of a self-governing republic or many other basic American ideals.

    And that’s why, he said, “What Obama is doing now is about as un-American as you can get.”

    Hentoff wanted to make sure no one thought he was engaging in hyperbole.

    He said it was literally true that Obama is “the most un-American president we’ve ever had.”

    And just to make sure everybody heard him, he added, “I hope the FBI got all of that.”

    Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley: “The painful fact is that Barack Obama is the president that Nixon always wanted to be. Four decades ago, Nixon was halted in his determined effort to create an ‘imperial presidency’ with unilateral powers and privileges. In 2013, Obama wields those very same powers openly and without serious opposition. The success of Obama in acquiring the long-denied powers of Nixon is one of his most remarkable, if ignoble, accomplishments...”

    "James Goodale defended the New York Times during the Pentagon Papers. But Nixon had nothing on Obama, writes the First Amendment lawyer—and that’s bad news for freedom of the press... President Barack H. Obama’s outrageous seizure of the Associated Press’s phone records, allegedly to discover sources of leaks, should surprise no one. Obama has relentlessly pursued leakers ever since he became president. He is fast becoming the worst national security press president ever, and it may not get any better."

    REPORT: OBAMA BRINGS CHILLING EFFECT ON JOURNALISM
    BY BRETT ZONGKER
    ASSOCIATED PRESS

    "In the Obama administration's Washington, government officials are increasingly afraid to talk to the press," wrote Downie, now a journalism professor at Arizona State University. "The administration's war on leaks and other efforts to control information are the most aggressive I've seen since the Nixon administration, when I was one of the editors involved in The Washington Post's investigation of Watergate."

    **********************************************

    From the LA Times: “When President George W. Bush was in office, Democrats criticized his go-it-alone approach — his insistence, for example, that he could launch military attacks without Congress' blessing, or unilaterally tighten restrictions on the use of stem cells in federally funded research. But the last five years have shown that many on the left are willing to turn a blind eye to unchecked executive action when a Democrat is in the White House.”

    WE ALL know Onazi is the most dangerous and destructive President ever! Now what the Hell are we going to do about it? It's a COMPLETE pipe dream this date and time to fathom being able to out-vote msm sheep, lunatic dumb asses, and the parasites who just love their demonazis for robbing from America to give to the record-number lazy, and worthless. Voting is NOT a solution at this point. That's long over now...:mad:
     
  4. Your use of the term "Onazi" is accurate...and very troubling! It was about the time that a few Germans (who had been Nazis) started to turn on Hitler that Hitler went wild against ALL opposition to "his" power. That meant exterminating those who had opposed him all along and those who had more recently opposed him. He killed off people who had supported the Nazis...and then opposed Hitler.

    These are scary times!

    A military coup would certainly be welcomed IF it's to restore the US Constitution, and true freedom. Even that, however, would cause temporary suffering among Americans... There's not much of a solution right now other than some Libertarian with balls taking what's left of the President's office in 2016, and a large shift in the Senate to common sense. Will that happen? I doubt it. Again, it's long impossible now to out-vote msm sheep, lunatic libtards, and parasites who vote demonazi, giving away their freedom for some "free shit" taken, er., stolen from those who do produce...

    After the assassination attempt on Hitler in July 1944. At least 7,000 were arrested by the Gestapo and nearly 5,000 were executed.
     
  7. the most dangerous president ever?

    come on,
    hasn't this been said about every president, at some time during his rain?

    marc
    :D
     
  8. Uh, no. None has defied the Constitution and abused his office as has Odumbo.

    (Until Odumbo, I'd thought Wilson was the worst... for giving us the Federal Reserve.)
     
  9. LOL. I haven't checked it out yet but I heard that Obama said during that interview that his approval ratings have dropped due to the fact that people dislike him because he's black. I guess it has nothing to do with the lies that have been told or any of the other stuff, and never mind the fact that he was still black when they put him in office twice. Obama has run to the liberal's favorite playbook --- the race card.

    I saw that as well. In effect he's accusing those who voted for him of becoming racists.
