Answer: “No.”

Think of Bush as appointed CEO of big corporation which he now has ruined brand name, squandered financial reserves, created failed product line, lied often to shareholders, and needs to be replaced.
Easier to admit hiring wrong guy and replacing than impeachment of President.

Obstruction of Justice IS a FELONY, a high crime.

Nope, only lying about sex with interns counts as a high crime.
Clinton: I’m not guilty because of this technicality.
Bush: I’m not guilty because I am as a God and above the law. Kneel before me or faith my wrath.
Yes, Clinton was sooooo much worse.

Not so bad an analogy… of course lately executives are finding lots of new and interesting ways to ruin companies while lining their pockets. And by “lining their pockets” I mean “completely plundering the shareholders and employees.”
Yep, that applies just fine.

Well, it’s either a high crime or a misdemeanor, but it technically can’t be both, so Bush is safe. Quoth the Constitution:
“…high crimes and misdemeanors…”
