Joni Ernst tries to walk back Obama 'dictator' comments

Iowa GOP Senate nominee Joni Ernst sought to clarify comments in a video in which she said President Obama “has become a dictator” and suggested he could face impeachment.

Video of Ernst’s remarks, made during a political forum in January, were reported by The Huffington Post on Tuesday. Ernst issued a statement explaining her response to a “hypothetical” question about Obama’s use of executive authority. She said at that time that there have been instances in which he “oversteps his bounds,” citing Obama’s recess appointments and executive orders.

“To be clear, I have not seen any evidence that the president should be impeached. I obviously do not believe the president is a dictator, but his repeated use of unilateral action sure makes him look like one,” Ernst said in a statement to The Des Moines Register about the video.

The Koch Puppet has no memory and believes everything she is told to say is true. Bad for Iowa.

Not that bright, reasonably attractive, charismatic, and possessing a mean streak. They are all the same; Ernst, Palin, Bachman, Blackburn.... They are cookie cutter images of each other in personality and they all say the same ignorant stupid shit. It would be a pity if this woman wins. She would go to Washington and become an ongoing embarrassment, spewing Tea Party government hating anti progress crap on a daily basis. I can't stand her either.
