Obama knows he is immune to Constitutional removal. Impeachment means nothing without the Senate following through, and as long as Harry Reid is in control, there is nothing to fear on that account.

Obama also, like all community organizers, gets cheap thrills from bear-bating when he knows the bear is securely chained. He will continue to push towards dictatorship knowing that he can get away with virtually anything. The GOP cannot lay a glove on him and the press is flying cover for him.

The best way to resist him is to push at the state level to ignore the feral government altogether. Long before Lexington and Concord the colonists in New England had gone much down such a path. Crown courts were boycotted and, Crown taxcollectors ignored or worse. They basically set up a parallel social structure that sidelined Crown authority. Geo III's writ did not extend very far from the water's edge in Boston. Perry's NG gambit is a tiny step in this direction. The states should be looking for more opportunities to push DC out of the picture altogether.

Bingo.

Exactly. It will require a bit of moral fortitude but if they are willing to "bait the bear" in return, they could turn this country around. This is the way to do it and at this juncture probably the only way.

You nailed it.

And even if by some miracle harry Reid is no longer majority leader and the GOP won 10 senate seats in 2014, you will need another 12 Democrats to remove him from office.

As I said, if you’re going to impeach Obama, just remember, the whole exercise is simply to highlight his high crimes against the constitution (i.e. send a message to the American people ). Just don’t expect him to be removed from office.
