Barack Obama Watch: Florida Co-Chair Representative Robert Wexler Supports Bush Impeachment
U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) makes remarks on behalf of the Obama campaign before the Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee in Washington May 31, 2008
Team Obama Florida Co-Chair Democrat Representative Robert Wexler has signed on with Representative Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio to impeach President Bush.
Congressman Robert Wexler, D-Fla. — the Florida co-chair for the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. — today announced that he has signed on to support the Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush, introduced this week by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
“President Bush deliberately created a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people and the charges detailed in this impeachment resolution indicate an unprecedented abuse of executive power,” Wexler said. “A decision by Congress to pursue impeachment is not an option, it is a sworn duty. It is time for Congress to stand up and defend the Constitution against the blatant violations and illegalities of this Administration. Our Founding Fathers bestowed upon Congress the power of impeachment, and it is now time that we use it to defend the rule of law from this corrupt Administration.”
Wexler previously ran a nationwide campaign to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney.
And, this helps Barack Obama win Florida how?
Moreover, Obama does NOT agree with ANY attempt to impeach the current administration:
“I think you reserve impeachment for grave, grave breaches, and intentional breaches of the president’s authority,” he told USA Today “I believe if we began impeachment proceedings we will be engulfed in more of the politics that has made Washington dysfunction. We would once again, rather than attending to the people’s business, be engaged in a tit-for-tat, back-and-forth, non-stop circus.”
Representative Kucinich and Wexler are FRINGE Left-Wing zealots who have NO support except among other zealots who suffer Bush Derangement Syndrome.
But, this does HURT Obama in Florida. Wlll Barry throw him under the bus?

But, Bush isn’t running and Bobby Jindal is Governor of LA.
John McCain will win the state and Mary L. may barely hang on to win re-election.
NO is represented in Congress by the crook William Jefferson.
Louisiana = red state

George W. Bush’s sentence-by-sentence speaking skills are deteriorating. Apparently, this may be due to a mental illness called “presenile dementia.†Bush may or may not be secretly still drinking heavily. Bush lied, and thousands of people died. Bush suffers from narcissism and megalomania. Moreover, Bush has been arrested three times. Bush was arrested for disorderly conduct. Bush was arrested for stealing. Bush was also arrested for a serious crime—driving under the influence of alcohol. There are reasons to believe that Bush suffers from a learning disability. Bush’s learning disability would explain a lot of things. All in all, Bush is a severely mentally ill individual. Bush is not fit to be the president of the United States.

President George W. Bush has an undergraduate degree from Yale and an MBA from Harvard. It is extremely doubtful a person with a learning disability would be able to complete both of these degrees.
Severely mentally ill?
Are you kidding me?

bush ,cheney,rummfield and wolfowitz need to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity -iraq in particular. what bush did in this so called war on terror is a grave,grave breach of his authority and barack obama is wrong to think otherwise. what could be more grave than invading another country for their resources .bush is just as bad as nixon ever was ,if not worse.
Flap
Rummy and Wolfowitz left a long time ago.
Nixon?
Ancient history, dude.

all criminals who have caused a great deal of death and destruction. rummsfield,wolfowitzs and cheney should be deported to israel cause that is the country they truely serve, ands israel would be the only country who’ll take them. they would fit right in with the lukid party.
iraq was another vietnam in some ways .nixon and bush have alot in common. both are republicans who lied to their people in times of war which is a grave, grave breach of their authority.

Exactly when did we take their oil? I thought they sell their oil on the open market and we pay whatever the going rate is….Do you have some special knowledge of a secrete Halliburton bunker where we hold the stolen oil???
