Democrats planning recall election of Future President Mitt Romney

June 6, 2012
by James Wislon

CHICAGO (AP) - Secret emails obtained today from confidential sources suggest that the Democrat party is actively planning a recall election to be held against Mitt Romney in the event that he wins the General Election held on Nov. 6, 2012.

Missives sent from Democrat National Committee chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel appear to be describing details of a plan to bus thousands into Washington DC for the Jan. 20, 2013 inauguration of President-elect Romney and equip them with professionally-printed signs demanding his recall.

This reporter immediately sent an email to Wasserman Schultz, pointing out that unlike the Wisconsin state Constitution under which that state's governor Scott Walker was subjected to a recall attempt, the U.S. Constitution makes no such provision for recalling a President. That document provides only the process of impeachment for the removal of a President from office, prior to the next election four years after the first.

No reply was received from Wasserman Schultz's office as this report went to press.

Mayor Emanuel gave no official response to phone calls and emails on the subject. But he was heard to remark to a trusted aide, "No problem, we have ways of dealing with these things. Consider him Cained."

It has been independently confirmed that a large order, of unknown content, has been placed with Benson's Printing on Ross Ave. in Chicago. Benson's has place a large order in turn for a parge quantity of cardstock from Hammermill. Greyhound Bus Lines has stated only that all of their vehicles will be unavailable for charter between the dates of Jan. 16 and Jan. 25, 2013, having been assigned to "another commitment" during that time.

National wire services including Reuters, CNN, and MSNBC offered no comment on whether they had been asked to hold any stories until the Jan. 20, 2013 date.

When this reporter asked a receptionist who answered the phone at Emanuel's office number, what the grounds could be for a recall of someone who has not yet assumed office, she apologized and explained that she was having difficulty hearing the question due to a poor connection. Contact was lost immediately afterward, and could not be regained. Technicians are still looking into the problem.

Assuming this is satire rather than a stupid right-wing fabrication, only one point need be made:

There can be no "recalls" for President of the United States. The Constitution does not allow it.

So you can stop wringing your hands now.

LOL it has been proven by now beyond any doubt that no matter what the topic is here on CD, a right winger always has to go off topic and "bash Obama"
