Obama makes a mockery of America and the seat by sitting as pResident.

How could the populace be soooooo stupid to allow this to occur for so long?

Clearly, this “ain’t America no more”

It has been overrun by illiterates and confused fools.

If he is ever impeached (laughable on it’s face) it will not be over some birth certificate issue. It simply will not be. YHou might be right as rain that he isn’t a NBC but if no one will move on it, then it doesn’t matter how correct you are.

It will never happen. The squishes could never stand the charges of “Racism!” being shouted by the MSM 24x7. The entire Senate office building was full of rock-solid evidence against Bill Clinton and they wouldn’t impeach him. So there’s no reason to think they’ve got the stones to actually impeach anybody.

No, if a US President is ever impeached, it will only happen to a Republican if the Dems are in a super-majority.

If the dems didn’t like it it most likely was not raising it.

It did raise it. Almost two and a half trillion dollars.

Rep. Paul Broun:

“I gave my word to my constituents in Georgia and to the rest of the American people that I would not vote for any bill that increases the debt limit. Although the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill is a step in the right direction, it still raises the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion, and we simply cannot afford it.

“Also missing from the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill is the urgency to pay down the debt by immediately reducing the outrageous spending levels to which Washington has become so accustomed. Unfortunately, the cuts outlined in Cut, Cap, and Balance take effect over a period of ten years. We no longer have ten years to spare – it’s too little, too late.

“Undoubtedly, we have to cap spending and we must enact a balanced budget amendment, but Congress can get these tasks done without raising the debt ceiling. I have introduced bills to both lower the debt ceiling and to balance the budget.

“We’ve been down this road before. Administrations of the past have agreed to raise the debt ceiling on a contingency that cuts would be made in future budgets – but those cuts never materialized. It’s long past time to stop obligating our constitutional duties – along with our budgetary problems – to both future Congresses and future generations.”

Boehner has been for raising it all along. He lectured the Tea Party freshman about how they were going to have to be grownups and raise it the first day they arrived on the Hill.

Speaker John Boehner, from November 2010:

“I’ve made it pretty clear to them that as we head into next year it’s pretty clear that Congress is going to have to deal with this,” Boehner said of need to raise the level of debt the United States will be allowed to shoulder. “We’re going to have to deal with it as adults. Whether we like it or not, the federal government has obligations and we have obligations on our part.”

There isn't a single plan that has been proffered by anyone that does not raise the debt ceiling. It's all a big scam.

Thanks for the info, I hadn’t kept up with the hearing on it. I doubt we’ll get anything good out of it, we never do anymore.

I’m praying for Obama to crack, they say he is thin skinned and I’m just waiting for ‘something’ to happen - soon!

FWIW the electorate seemed a little less confused in 2010. We will see if that was a fluke or if they are wising up in 2012.

LOL. I was just reading that and thinking what a funny comedy skit that would make. Some creative couple could make a You Tube video of that.

Just the words “Obama” and “impeachment” in the same sentence are music to my ears.

That makes you wonder just how bad would a itsy bitsy default be????

Thanks for the link to the Gunrunners thread Dubya...

[“This testimony is especially important in light of the Justice Departments willful efforts to withhold key evidence from investigators about what occurred, who knew and who authorized this reckless operation,” he said.]

I should install a webcam and charge to watch it. Some of the conversations Mom and I have are regular Abbot and Costello routines. :-)

Maybe so, but an Impeachment Hearing would essentially run out the clock on the FUBO Admin. and that would be a victory in and of itself. Also, it might stop him from completely wearing out the two AF1’s before he’s gone!
