LaRouche Webcast: Why Obama Must Be Removed from Office Immediately  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“There’s no way that Obama can remain in office and be President,” Lyndon LaRouche said during his weekly webcast on Nov. 22. Given that “we are on the verge of the complete breakdown of the economy,” LaRouche said that Obama has no capability of making decisions necessary to assist the United States in dealing with its problems. “Now, the danger is, that the crisis comes before he’s out of office. If the crisis hits, and the crisis is about to hit—I mean, the whole end of the month of November, but certainly the early part of December, is a time when this is to be expected. If he were to leave office only after the crisis point had been hit, this would result in a disaster. So therefore, it’s important that he be removed from office, or remove himself from office, perhaps by the aid of his Vice President, who probably is standing by, and is perhaps capable of dealing with this problem. I would suggest that that is the proper solution to this situation.” We publish the full transcript.
