I think that “Dictator” is more appropriate.

When is Congress going to say “Enough is enough!” and begin Impeachment hearings?

This Congress is showing that they are all talk and no action when it comes to upholding our constitution!

Although impeachment is appropriate for a number of actions Obama has taken, impeachment shouldn’t be attempted.

First, impeachment would allow him to cloak himself in “black victim” status, which might enable him to be re-elected.

Second, the Senate would never convict. In fact, I doubt there would be more than a handful of votes for conviction even if the House impeached.

IMO, obviously.

Only a smidgeon of what this asswipe has said. Anybody remember the famous "You can come along, but now you gotta sit in the back of the bus?"

This man and Eric "My People" Holder have set race relations back at least a half a century or more. As far as Eric's People are concerned, I have this to say "You people think you're in charge now. Go get your handouts from Obama and his bankrupt government. Don't come round my door. Nothing I have is for you."

Does Obama Think He Is the King?

In a word: Yes

For as brilliant as the media tells us he is, he can't understand the difference between "governing" and "ruling"

Presidents "govern"....Kings "rule"

Did Obama listen to them? Of course not. He found other lawyers that gave him an analysis that allowed him to do whatever he wanted and just followed them.

Saving for later.

Like when President Palin goes into Cuba.

I agree, impeachment is a long shot but when you have liberals starting to turn on him, it becomes much more of a possibility. I think that if the courts overturn Obamacare the leftist groups will start wondering “so what was the point of electing this guy at all? He has achieved nothing and has actually turned the country against us after everything was going our way!”

So the Office of the General Counsel, backed up by Obama's own Attorney General and the Pentagon's General Counsel all said that our Libya intervention counted as "hostilities" and therefore would require Congressional approval to continue past May 20th. Did Obama listen to them? Of course not. He found other lawyers that gave him an analysis that allowed him to do whatever he wanted and just followed them.

A lawyer's opinion means absolutely nothing.

Obama;s actions are clearly unconstitutional and the matter needs to be fast-tracked to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In my dream scenario, Dennis Kucinich and Code Pink would call for impeachment. :-)

Obama seems to have a history of this type of behavior, that "I'm the President and I can do whatever I want."

That's so .... Nixonian.

Nixon - When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal

Agree. The leftist thrill is gone. The tingle ain’t there. Zero will drag down many Dems with him. Avoid impeachment.

Obama is about to lose his base. What’s the motivation for them to turn out? Aside from the $20 they get and a chicken dinner. Wars continue and new ones started. Record black unemployment.

There have been many Presidents who sought to undermine Congress along with the Constitution and sought to expand the power of the Executive Branch over the States.

Obama's power grab is just another example of Executive abuse which creates frustration due to the fact that Congress as well as the States neglect to push back and exercise their own powers.

Gov. Perry, although moderate in a lot of ways, is one individual pushing back. We need Boehner/governors to give the Obama administration and the Federal Judicial Oligarchy the “middle finger”. A lot of civil disobedience and ingenuity can disrupt this administration.

Actually, he *knows* he’s King. Until you gents remove him, that is. And don’t expect an election to have any effect.
