During a floor speech on Wednesday night, Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee voiced her opposition to the House Republican lawsuit against President Barack Obama and said that Democrats had never moved to impeach former President George W. Bush when he was in office.

“A historical fact that President Bush pushed this nation into a war that had little to do with apprehending terrorists,” Jackson Lee said. “We did not seek an impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had his authority. President Obama has the authority.”

It's an odd thing for Jackson Lee to say, because it was just six years ago that she helped lead a movement to impeach Bush by co-sponsoring a bill accusing him of high crimes and misdemeanors.

I don't think the bill ever made it out of committee, and certainly was never passed by the democratic party controlled House.

But she said they didn't seek to impeach him, which isn't exactly true.

A few vocal Democrats, namely Dennis Kucinich. Had it actually made it out of committee, it would have died a swift death on the House floor. Most Democrats would have voted against it. Only five Republicans voted not to sue Obama.

Suing isn't on the same level as impeachment.

Not to mention Obama has violated his duties by not enforcing law.

While Bush never did anything close to approaching an impeachable offense.

Maybe not. But he was no prize either.

By the time we swear in another prez, we will have suffered through two inept administrations. IMO, it speaks highly of our system that we aren't in worse shape than we are.

Yeah Bush was an idiot, although in comparison to Obama he sadly had some genius qualities.  Bush was passing legislation through congress with little difficulty right up to the end of his administration.  Bush almost passed immigration reform in 2008, only Obama managed to stop that.   Sadly stupidity is not an impeachable offense.
