Impeaching Himself, Period!

American Thinker ^ | November 9, 2013 | Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison

The side-by-side comparisons of President Obama's statements then and now are devastating. Especially the "period." Period here is no punctuation mark. It's a way of underscoring the word of the President of the United States.

If you like your health care plan you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away. No matter what. - June 15,2009

Of course, many opponents of this president will raise the specter of impeachment. The legislative process for enactment of ObamaCare was surely debauched by these knowingly false assurances. Of that there can be no doubt.
But we can set aside all talk of impeachment.

Small wonder. Joe Biden is Mr. Obama's best insurance against impeachment.
Few noted it at the time he was selected, but the very choice of Joe Biden by then-senator Barack Obama was evidence of his inexperience. Obama had not hung around the Senate cloakroom long enough to discover what his colleagues thought of Joe Biden. In his nearly forty years in the Senate, not one of his fellow Democrats had ever suggested making Joe Biden their Senate leader. They all knew him too well.
