Mike Huckabee: Benghazi Scandal Will Cost Barack Obama His Presidency, ‘He Cannot Continue To Govern’

By Sandy Fitzgerald and Kenneth Hanner, NewsMax – “Influential Republicans are setting their sights on toppling the Obama administration as evidence of a cover-up over the assault on the Benghazi consulate gets stronger.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is now openly talking about impeachment, saying he does not believe Barack Obama will survive the remaining 3½ years of his presidency.

‘When a president lies to the American people and is part of a cover-up, he cannot continue to govern,’ Huckabee said on his radio show Monday.

‘As the facts come out, I think we’re going to see something startling. And before it’s over, I don’t think this president will finish his term unless somehow they can delay it in Congress past the next 3½ years.’

Huckabee isn’t alone in his belief that Obama could be toppled. The pressure is growing just as Congressional hearings on the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks that left four Americans dead are due to start on Wednesday.

Rep. Darrell Issa of California, who will chair those hearings as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said he intends to make the president ‘come clean.’

‘The administration has made a claim that for classified reasons they changed the story,’ Issa told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. ‘We believe right now that may be the biggest lie of all, and we intend on making the president come clean as to, quote, ‘What the classified reasons are that would justify lying to the American people.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina added to the onslaught against the administration’s handling of the assault.

‘Political manipulation is rampant here,’ said Graham in an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. ‘The dam’s about to break on Benghazi.’

And former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton told Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg on Monday that he too believes the growing scandal could lead to the ‘unraveling’ of the Obama administration.” Read more.

Perhaps someone who decided to arm Al Qaeda-linked Islamic groups and other jihadists with the expectation that they’d use the weapons to continue the “Arab Spring”, the administration who thought that the war on terror was finally over after the death of Bin Laden? It sure looks that way …” Read more.
