I think dereliction of duty as well as abuse of power are impeachable offenses. BO is guilty of both. I think BO could care less about the soldiers and their families. It's disgusting that he's playing golf while the troops are having more casualties than ever on his watch. He's a cold, calculating, immature, spoiled thug. The press hammered Bush everytime one soldier died. They are completely silent with BO. Makes me sick.

The suit can’t do anything until his health care bill has
been rammed down our throats. Otherwise the left will eviscerate him for abandoning their goals and the health bill
will die.

And I want to be clear here too. I don’t think presidents playing golf in wartime, or having vacations, or whatever, are bad because all of a sudden Obama is president. That’s not what it is, we know Bush played golf, Cheney went hunting, etc.

What we are pointing out is that when tough decisions needed to be made, Bush got his generals and advisors together, kicked the pig around then, made a decision, and let the generals execute the plans. He didn’t sit there and act like he didn’t want to make decisions because of the political ramifications, and we know it because Bush got cricufied by the liberals and media for making tough decisions (the surge? the one libs and media said would never work?) and then letting the military do their job.

It’s about DECISIVENESS versus INDECISIVENESS. There is a perception that Obama is INDECISIVE, does NOT WANT to make these decisions. And so all the diversions he partakes in, the vacations, the fun events, the late night shows, the golfing and hoops breaks, etc - these are not above criticism as he appears to keep ducking decisions he doesn’t want to make, and the problem is these delays are getting a lot more American servicemen killed. That’s why it’s different.

And it’s not like he can’t make what he believes are tough or unpopular decisions quickly. He wanted healthcare done before the August recess. Cash for clunkers. TARP. All crap rammed through fast, we didn’t even have time to read it it was so important to do. Afghanistan? Apparently not as important.
