"Impeach Obama"

*Thanks to recent e-mail I received (Shout out to Michael B), I read an interesting article by Hendrik Hertzberg from The New Yorker, which, given the current climate in Washington, I believe is quite apropos.

"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
—Amendment XIV, Section 4."

"By the time that long-obscure, lately apposite sentence became part of the Constitution, on July 9, 1868, the insurrection that occasioned it had been thoroughly, and bloodily, suppressed. Throughout the Civil War and afterward, Republicans in Congress had enacted some of the most forward-looking legislation in American history: a national currency, the Homestead Act, a transcontinental railroad, support for higher education, the definitive abolition of slavery—all thanks to the extended absence of delegations from the self-styled Confederate states. Now that era was about to end.
 
The party of Lincoln, grand but not yet old, feared the mischief that Southern senators and representatives might get up to when their states were readmitted to the Union. The Republicans’ foremost worry was that Congress might somehow be induced to cut funds for Union pensioners or pay off lenders who had gambled on a Confederate victory. But the language of the Fourteenth Amendment’s framers went further. Benjamin Wade, the president pro tem of the Senate, explained that the national debt would be safer once it was “withdrawn from the power of Congress to repudiate it.” He and his colleagues didn’t say just that the debt could not be put off, or left unpaid. They said that it couldn’t even be questioned.

The new insurrection is different from the old one, and not only because this time it’s the Republicans who are the insurrectionaries. The old insurrectionaries wanted to destroy the government; the new ones wish merely to decimate it. The old ones’ weapons of choice were muskets and bayonets; the new ones confine themselves to mendacity, demagoguery, and obstructionism. The old ones were exclusively white and Southern; the new ones, while overwhelmingly white, are more widely distributed. The old ones no longer wished to be citizens of the United States; the new ones, some of them, profess to wonder if the President is a citizen at all.

Still, there are similarities. Prominent among them is a belief that a federal law need not be repealed in order to be nullified. Equally noteworthy is an apparent inability to be reconciled to the results of an election. Last November, after a campaign that turned largely on the issue of health care, Barack Obama was reëlected with a popular majority of five million. In Senate races, Democrats drew ten million more votes than Republicans. In the House of Representatives, Republicans, whom Democrats outpolled by a million and a half, retained their legislative majority only by dint of the vagaries of districting and redistricting. The Confederates had a better case: in 1860, Abraham Lincoln got barely thirty-nine per cent of the vote, a smaller share than any Presidential winner since.
In the current imbroglio, Republicans threatened that, unless their demands were met, they would (a) shut down most of the government and, more alarmingly, (b) deny the Treasury the ability to borrow the money it needs to pay expenses that Congress has already authorized. The first threat was carried out on October 1st. As for the second, John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, suddenly offered last Thursday to postpone the deadline for carrying it out—but with conditions, and for a mere five weeks. The new proposed deadline is November 22nd, the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

The ransom demands kept changing. At first, it was the Affordable Care Act: in exchange for a few weeks of fiscal peace, repeal it; defund it; delay it; dismember it. Then the price ballooned, with some two dozen additional conservative fever dreams: plutocrat-friendly tax cuts, Medicare means-testing, a green light for environmental depredations, financial regulatory rollback, even the end of Internet neutrality. Then it was immediate “entitlement reform” (meaning cuts in social insurance) and “tax reform” (meaning lower rates for corporations and the rich). “We have to get something out of this,” one bewildered backbencher finally bleated, “and I don’t know what that even is.”
When Lincoln faced secession if he continued to resist slavery’s expansion, he remarked, “A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear and mutters through his teeth, ‘Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you—and then you will be a murderer!’ ” Obama updated Lincoln, minus the lethal imagery: “If you’re in negotiations around buying somebody’s house, you don’t get to say, ‘Well, let’s talk about the price I’m going to pay, and if you don’t give the price then I’m going to burn down your house.’ ” Neither quip quite captures the perversity of the extortionists. They propose to shoot themselves as well as their hostage, and the house they would burn down is their house, too.

At the weekend, as public esteem for the Republican Party plunged to record lows, the elephants stampeded for the exits, raising clouds of dust. At this rate, the government shutdown may itself have been shut down by the time these words are read, with or without a fig leaf to cover the pachyderms’ privates. But the fanatical denialism of a large faction of the Republican Party is such that a default or the serious possibility of one may still be in the not too distant future. What then?

The President is constitutionally sworn to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” but if he enforces the debt ceiling, established by one law, he cannot meet obligations that other laws command him to fulfill. Nor can he submit to blackmail, lest the Constitution be informally amended to provide that any law, duly passed by the House and the Senate and signed by the President (and, if challenged, upheld by the Supreme Court), may be effectively voided by the action of one faction of one party in one half of the national legislature. And he absolutely cannot permit default, the consequences of which would be global and catastrophic.

It is widely said that the Obama Administration has “ruled out” recourse to the fourth section of the Fourteenth Amendment. Not so. In 2011, when the Republicans test-drove their debt-ceiling gambit, Timothy Geithner, then the Secretary of the Treasury, read the section to a breakfast gathering of reporters. A squall ensued; the President calmed it, saying that “lawyers” had advised him that the Fourteenth was not a “winning argument.” Similarly cagey equivocations have been forthcoming this time around. Obama has been careful to keep the option on life support. At his news conference last Tuesday, he noted that there had been some discussion about his powers, under the amendment, to “go ahead and ignore the debt-ceiling law.” He continued:

Setting aside the legal analysis, what matters is that if you start having a situation in which there’s legal controversy about the U.S. Treasury’s authority to issue debt, the damage will have been done even if that were constitutional, because people wouldn’t be sure. . . . What matters is: what do the people who are buying Treasury bills think?
What also matters, of course, is: compared with what? In the end, Obama could have no honorable choice but to invoke the Fourteenth. There is little doubt that he would prevail. The Supreme Court would be unlikely even to consider the matter, since no one would have standing to bring a successful suit: when the government pays its bills, who is damaged? The House Republicans might draw up articles of impeachment, adopt them, and send them to the Senate, where the probability of a conviction would be zero. This would not be a replay of Bill Clinton and the intern. President Clinton was not remotely guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, but he was guilty of something, and that something was sordid. Yet impeachment was what put Clinton on a glide path to his present pinnacle as a wildly popular statesman. President Obama would be guilty only of saving the nation’s economy, and the world’s. It would be all he could do to head off a post-Bloombergian boomlet to somehow get around another amendment, the Twenty-second, and usher him to a third term. " [Article]

Imagine the outcry if America's first Negro president invoked the Constitution's 14th Amendment. Of course he won't do it. He is still trying too hard to be the good guy. The friendly harmless Negro who just wants to get along.

I have been saying from the start of Ted Cruz's shutdown that the president should not move off of his position. As Washington now scrambles to find a deal, it seems more and more than O and the dems might blink just a little.

That would be a shame, because the republicans are looking for a life boat, and the president and his party should be the last people to give it to them.

  2. Obama-

    The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.

    ------------

    I would argue that he is doing and will continue to try to do just what he promised to do if elected: to be the president of all of the people by representing the interests and consulting the opinions of as broad a swath of Americans as possible. That he continues to do so in the face of outright legislative vandalism to his government and the constitution is remarkable. It shows the depth of his conviction that he should be every bit the president of those who voted against him as he is of those who did. That's a pre-Reagan value that is worthy of revival.

    "our country is falling apart" (one commenters observation). Evidently for the last 400 years, somehow there must have been some signs that the country was "falling apart" for this situation to exist. Blaming the present president and his party for the current situation gives them way too much power. You mean to tell me that a "junior flip" newby politician can come to Washington and destroy your country in four years? Wow!, I should bow to this man because he has destroyed a country that so many others have been trying for decades to destroy. now to be honest , I am not going to say he was alone in taking down America; check out all the whites that have his "back".

    With all this power that Emperor O has, the constitution means nothing. Why did not I see this - a Black man taken over the richest and defenseless country-coming?

    While this obsession with my educational history amuses me greatly, I have to say you nazi-types need to work on your reading and comprehension skills.

    What I said was that in the U.K. it is impossible NOT to finish high school. MEANING, there is no mechanism by which a child cannot graduate high school.

    So I (like everybody else) graduated high school, then I graduated sixth form college with three 'A' levels. I then went to technical college to get a H.N.D. in electrical engineering. Deciding on a change of direction I went to university and got a Degree in Diagnostic Imaging. Then later on I went to night school in Amsterdam to get an M.B.A.

    (Incidentally I'd like to see you obtain a Master's Degree studying in a foreign language - but I guess I'm digressing now.)

    shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    “When the current theatrics are over, Obamacare will remain intact and the president will be back on his ever-rightward stride.”

    The government shutdown battle is more like a Civil War reenactment than the real thing. A face-saving bargain will soon be struck, returning 825,000 furloughed federal employees to their jobs at wages that have been frozen for the past two years – not by the Republicans, but on President Obama’s orders. The clock has been stuck with both hands on “austerity” since Obama came fully out of the closet as a GOP fellow-traveler following the 2010 midterm elections. From that moment on, Republican-imposed gridlock has been the only barrier to Obama’s long-sought Grand Bargain to eviscerate entitlement programs. When the current theatrics are over, Obamacare will remain intact and the president will be back on his ever-rightward stride. The GOP will take Obama up on his offer, earlier this year, to cut Social Security and will probably be offered other bits and pieces of the social safety net in the interest of “shared sacrifice” and domestic peace.

    In the interim, while the reenactors haul their cannons around the cow pasture, waiting for the rich people who call themselves “markets” to signal an end to the charade, rest assured that national security is sacrosanct.


    For example, the pause in some government spending will have minimal effect on the National Security Agency’s spying on Americans and the rest of the Earth’s inhabitants. The NSA circulated a memo stating that its “intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance activities required to support national or military requirements necessary for national security” are exempt from the fiscal exercise, as are all programs that are necessary for “protection of life and property.” Presumably, that means President Obama can still spend next Tuesday morning selecting the week’s victims for his Kill List.

    Protection of property being the prime directive of both wings of the Corporate Party, democracy will remain in shutdown mode in Detroit and all of Michigan’s largely Black cities, whatever happens on Capitol Hill. The markets are hungry to devour the nation’s pension funds, and have chosen Black locales to perfect the model, secure in the knowledge that nobody of consequence will raise a finger to stop them from filching the nest-eggs of the undeserving classes

    Therefore, for the sake of the almighty dollar (blessed be its name) – and because the shutdown has already achieved its purposes – the GOP will call a halt to its action before any money-changers get hurt. The Republicans will have shown their willingness to fight The Obama. Obama will appear to be defending the people from The Republicans. And then they will both slash away at social spending, as was the intention, all along.

    I remember a time when democrats were insisting the tea party was calling members of the CBC the n word. But no video despite all those cameras.

    Strange that the challenge from Brietbart about anyone providing evidence use of the "n" word directed at members of the CBC brietbart would donate $100,000 to United Negro College Fund went uncollected.

    So brietbart posted the sherry sherod video showing the audience at a NAACP event clapping/cheering when Sherod said she treated white people badly because of their color.

    The audience clapped and cheered when told about Sherry acting racist.

A "good guy" does not ignore the targeted killing of Black Libyans and African immigrants..not does a "good guy" send US predatory drones over Africa and the Middle East..incinerating thousands of people ..including hundreds of children.

    Flip-Flopping is a sign of sophistication. The world is a complicated place, the fog of political war often clouds complicated issues. Flip-Flopers are saying "Hey I used to think that, but now having learned more and spoken to other intelligent people I now realise I was wrong.

    Flip-Flopping is what mature, sophisticated thinkers do.

  28. Nixon personally ordered the killing of 4 Americans at Kent State

    Nixon left 20,000 Americans dead in Vietnam

    Under Ronnie Raygun, the Iraqis killed 37 sailors but Reagan, that mentally-addled, terrorist-loving, cut-and-run Chickenhawk, tax-raising, war criminal, tool of the Plutocrats, was too much in a stupor to do anything.

    In May 1987 the USS Stark came under attack by 1 Iraqi F1 jet which launched two missles and killed 37 US sailors.

    Two separate Terrorist Attacks in Beirut in 1983 using the same tactics and because the Marines were personally placed on guard without ammo. On April 18, 1983 the Beirut Embassy Car Bombing killed 17 Embassy personnel (and 46 Lebanese) and the follow on Truck Bombing attack 6 months later on October 23, 1983 at the US Barracks in Beirut killed 241 Marines, Soldiers and Sailors.

    I'm good with that.

    I will agree that Obama acknowledging that there is no such thing as shovel ready jobs after using "shovel ready jobs" to push his stimulus bill isn't flip-flopping. After pushing his agenda he learned his agenda wasn't true.

    Now, where has Obama said he learned about the debt limit since his words that bush was a failed leader because of increasing the debt limit?

  36. Bill, simply put Barack is a politician. As a junior senator from Illinois with a large liberal base he would get support by taking an easy position denying Bush funding for his wars (not really but it would earn him stripes from his liberal base). It was an easy position to take because he knew enough of his fellow senators and congressmen had enough sense to not default. The debt limit is ALWAYS passed and only certain key members would take token stances against raising it. C'mon man, Field told you the man is a good politician. Get it, got it, good. Can we move on now?

    Here....

    "I think that it's important to understand the vantage point of a senator versus the vantage point of a president. When you're a senator, traditionally what's happened is, this is always a lousy vote. Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit — for the United States by a trillion dollars. As president, you start realizing, you know what, we, we can't play around with this stuff. This is the full faith and credit of the United States. And so that was just an example of a new senator making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. And I'm the first one to acknowledge it."

    Before PC goes all fox news crazy and blames the poll on tea party folks, let me point out it's from huffington post.
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/15/federal-government_n_4102263.html?utm_hp_ref=politics


    Americans Mad At Everyone Over Federal Government Shutdown, But More Blame Republicans

    Nice headline. Scroll down and read-

    And they differed further from a recent HuffPost/YouGov poll, which yields yet another result partly because it allowed respondents to "check all that apply" from a list of three choices: President Barack Obama, Republicans in Congress, and Democrats in Congress. Initially, slightly more checked only Republicans (38 percent) than checked only Obama, only Democrats or both (34 percent). After a follow-up probed further for the most responsible party, Americans split evenly (43 percent each) on whether Republicans or Democrats were to blame.

    Wow, headline says more blame republicans but their own poll says
    "Americans split evenly (43 percent each) on whether Republicans or Democrats were to blame.."

    but the bigger problem may be that many Americans are hesitant to assign all responsibility for the shutdown to one side or another.

    That's the exact opposite of what the media and FN keeps repeating.

    The bigger problem is the democrat talking points aren't working.

    If the Tea Party diehards in Congress trace their ancestry to Southern, slave holding Senators and Congressmen on the eve of the Civil War, and if we seem to be headed for a correspondingly similar confrontation, then Barack Obama seems more like the paralyzed President James Buchanan than he does Buchanan's successor Abraham Lincoln.

    What is truly sad is African-Americans believe Obama is the great white hope for savior.Keep blaming the Tea Party. This is what they want. To foolish to see the Democrats and the Republicans are one. To foolish to see several states had riots thanks to your President because WIC & EBT Benefits were frozen for more than 10 days.Black America was hit the hardest. Black America is in dire straights. We have the highest unemployment rate,highest drop-out rate and highest pregnancy rate. But our children are snapping their fingers to satanic occult music. No outrage about that.We will watch reality shows instead of dealing with reality. No outrage about that. We stand in line like idiots to purchase $300 sneakers with no money to pay rent. No outrage about that. More than 1 million are locked down yet the conversation is about the Tea Party. White America will never take Black America seriously. We are in worse condition now then when BUSH was in office. Black Americans screamed at the top of their lungs when BUSH was in office. Wanted him out! He raised the debt ceiling, he raised taxes, he used the Patriot Act and we had a number of wars. Well the same thing is happening now and and guess what?The country is falling apart.Black Americans are back in slavery mode. Don't talk about my President. This man shows up to graduations and disrespects graduates. He chooses choice words to describe African-Americans. The Black Caucus can't STAND him. Yet the color of his skin is what we follow. The blinders are on so thick that Blacks can't see when they have been had. Yes we want healthcare that will cover everyone. Now you have a health care plan that triples the premiums three times the limit. Its ok that he uses drones to kill other brown people. Until the day its on American Soil. By then it will be too late. Open your eyes and go past the color of the skin. OBAMA is not Moses and he is not going to save Blacks or the communities they live in. Blacks have become brainwashed and then cry in the dark because they are not getting a piece of the pie. Well keep waiting. By the time this President is finish you will not have any rights,you will be chipped and tracked thanks to the iphone 5 and microchips, won't be able to purchase a home unless your credit score is 900 or higher nor will you be able to feed your families.
