I just read the most ridiculous article posted on the Huffington Post; the author, Danny Schechter asks the absurd question, “Could Obama Be Overthrown”. Then let me ask the question, “Who is talking about overthrowing Obama? According to Schechter, everyone is.
Sure there has been strong opposition to the President’s policies and yes even the crazy birthers are getting more than their fair share of coverage, but nobody with any credibility is advocating an Obama overthrow. Danny Schechter seems to be a little paranoid on the subject. From Huffpo:
With Democrats fussing among themselves, with Obamacrats forced to rely on corporate media, the right-wing TV and radio stations close ranks behind the most self-righteously-correct ranters having a filed day poking , prodding, pummeling, and peeing into cups of their own resentment, hate and venom.
There is no smear that is beneath them, no inference or insult out of bounds. Lou Dobbs blesses the birthers while that Elmer Gantry of demagoguery, Glenn Beck, meditates on his mountain and pronounces Obama a racist. An Israeli settler refers to our President as “that Arab,” and worse.

With what he's doing with the economy, that $1000 bill might get a loaf of bread.
Everyone says that, but ... really, really consider;
Biden is a clown.
There's no way Biden could (or perhaps would) get in front of the cameras day after day and spout any of the insidious $h!t zero does.
All confidence in the direction of the socialist agenda would evaporate and a republican comeback of all three branches could occur.
No, I think Joe would be an excellent person in that office now.
There is no need for IMPEACHMENT when Fraud placed him in office. He has no authority to his position and we do not have to have our corrupt politians get him OUT.
IMPEACHMENT not necessary, NULLIFICATION of election and all of his regulations is what we are after.
RESET and the UNRAVELLING will have a purpose. THINK BIG, this country is worth it.
Why wait. I’ve been calling for civil disorder for months now!
He’s proven to me that he’s out to destroy the country. What more do people want to see. Frankly , I doubt the right has the balls to actually do anything but bitch on websites about it . We need to be in DC blocking doors of senators and kicking some ass.
Fired and brought up on accessory is in store for this guy. Sadly everyone involved better come clean as this is only GETTING BIGGER.
ONCE we have proof, the scene should change... then we will see the left wing exposed as what it is.... FACISTS

If he's proven ineligible (e.g., if the SCOTUS rules that he's not a natural-born citizen according to the law), would impeachment even be in order?
You impeach the President because he has committed "high crimes and misdemeanors," according to the Constitution. But if the person in the WH is ruled ineligible, then he's not the President and never has been. He's a private citizen (or maybe not even that) occupying government property in violation of law.
I'm not sure he thinks he'll need favor via polls to stay in office from 2012 to ......
Exactly. The corruption is widespread. Media, the judicial branch, both houses, every level of government.
The corruption in this country is so vast that I really doubt it can be overcome. The people just don't have the will, nor the numbers to take on such an enormous task that this is.
There's a lot of money and powerful people behind this, all the unelected elitist in the NGO's hiding in the hallways of the UN, and dozens of little Caesars who want to carve up the world under the guise of world governance into their own little empires. We are going up against enormous power.
The Constitution is very clear on this matter. The Supreme Court does not have the Constitutional authority to remove a sitting President (and may not even have oversight to determine eligibility). Once a President assumes power, only an impeachment and conviction can remove him.
As we have seen, the Courts are very subject to the political whims of a single individual, and the public has no oversight of the Courts. The Founders likely did not want to leave the authority to remove a President up to such whims.
Thus, only the legislature can remove him. Assuming office fraudulently would certainly fall within the purview of a “high crime and misdemeanor”.

Be cool and relax, real change will come in 2012! with a good preview 2010.
Its only been six months look at how many times this clown has put his foot in it. His arrogance will be his down fall! His and the demon congress spending is going to put him in a corner.
Exceeded only by the vast vapidity of, I suppose, the majority of our fellow Americans. To them, this is all just politics - the outs fighting the ins.
Take me out to the ball game.
I will fully support a military removal of Obama, his henchmen and both House and Senate from office.
Time to hit the reset button and reboot the Constitution.

Wrong. We have full constitutional power to remove a corrupt government. it's OUR nation, not theirs. The right to bear arms is part of what the constitution spells out as the power of the people to select AND remove a government.
Doubt it, but don’t know.
In any case, ‘round here (in a semi rural area...), the rifles that were fitted with full mags are now on safe, with one chambered.
The CCW’s are always carried armed, as you’d expect.
All things considered, with no kids and well past 50, we’ve invested in, unwillingly, the “system”, and’d just prefer to be left alone.
I don’t think that that will happen, hence our posture, but, as they say, your mileage may vary...
