The Case for Impeachment
Bruce Walker * American Thinker
See also:Never Mind Impeachment; Keep your Eyes on the Prize
How ought Republicans to respond to the growing list of indefensible abuses of power by Barack Obama? Consider what he has done. Obama has created the virtual equivalent of an “enemies list” and used the federal government to persecute these opponents of his plans. Obama has repeatedly and transparently lied to the American people about the misdeeds of his lackeys and his knowledge of those misdeeds. Obama has hidden behind a gaggle of subordinates whose responses to questions sound like the “…to the best of my knowledge at this point in time…” mantra which Richard Nixon’s lieutenants recited when called before the House Judiciary Committee in 1974.
Barack Obama committed precisely the sort of “high crimes and misdemeanors” which the Founding Fathers intended to be cause for impeachment. Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, should begin the process of investigating whether Obama should be impeached.
Some conservatives will wince at this approach. They will recall the craven Senate Republicans who effectively acquitted Bill Clinton even before his Senate trial began. The 1998 midterm election, which provided modest gains to Democrats, has been taken as proof that Americans did not want Clinton impeached.
But the wrongdoings of Barack Obama are qualitatively different from the wrongdoings of Bill Clinton. Much of what Clinton did involved sexual misconduct and subsequent lying about that misconduct. Hillary was the principal offended party, and she wanted power more than any moral vindication of the Clintons’ very strange marriage. What would have happened if Hillary had divorced Bill and denounced him to America? He well may have been forced out of office, but even so, his offenses related to personal misconduct that hurt individuals.

Impeachment is a tool that can only be used by a free people, not corporate slaves.
HEAR HEAR!!
impeach obama for ordering cime, lieing, hypocracy, not representing the majority of its voters or the country, violateing oath of office, not to the best of its ability preserve protect and defend the constitution instead the oposite, not takeing care that laws be faithfully executed, and not doing its job.
obama should owe a refund for all the tax-funded benifits(personal security)it didnt need cuz it could afford to pay for at least some of it itself instead of extravagant golf, vacations, fashion, and exspensive dinners.
about 15% of the country voted in obama, most r low info voters voteing based on lesser of 2 evils admitting they dislike both, or based on looks.
canidates sometimes lie, make false promosies, bate and switch, 2faced, flip flop, and dont mention true wants during campaign then surprize reveal true wants after elected, resulting in voters not getting what they voted for.
canidates become rich partially because they represent or do favors for rich people to get campaign contributions.
richest canidates become primarys because they can afford the most ads, so their most well known and popular w the public, resulting in richest canidates and campaign contributers being represented instead of the people.
instead of giving tax cuts to industries or high performing companies that are benificial to the well-being and wealth level of everyone, and welfare to the poor, gov-benifits are given to companies that contribute to the politician’s campaign, or secret pay offs or corosion. resulting in companies buying themself to big to fail to big to jail status, law exemption, tax exemption, subsidies, and bailouts.
facism= the merger of state and corperate power

“there may be..people..who can not be prosecuted for past crimes..because evidence may be tainted..but who..pose a threat to the united states..alkida terrorists and there affiliates are at war with the united states, and those who we capture must be prevented from attacking us agian…our government was defening positions that undermine the..law..to ensure that they are in line with the..law..my administation has begun to reshape the standards that apply to ensure..they are in line with the..law..for those that fall into this catagory..so that any prolonged detenition is.. justified..our goal is to construct a..legal framework for the remaining guantomo detainees that can not be transfered..when we determine that the united states must hold individuals to keep them from carring out an act of war we will do so..my admintionstation will..develope a legal regeim..there are people plotting to take american lifes..that will be the case..probiblity 10years from now”~obama according to obama explains the fema camps youtube video-watch it.
why would obama think people who dont have evidence of them commiting a crime be a threat? maybe obama wants to detain innocents! reportedly nazis called jews a threat to national security.
The Muslim POTUS “doesn’t k now anything about Benghazi, or the IRS, or the AP scandal”? And yet this is the most “transparent Presidency in history?” What a liar.
Yes, we must remove the negro. I notice when negroes take control everything starts to unwind, become hilarious, go downhill.
These people when left alone will starve to death. They need white people to survive, not the other way around.
Now quit your fool’n ’round and remove the negro henceforth and put a conservative Caucasian or Asian (would of been better choice than negro) in there, but not the Secretary of Transportation. He is just another stupid liberal.
Sir, your pea-brain sized head still hasn’t fully developed. Please let it properly grow BEFORE engaging in critical thought and conversation.
