At the tea party in Washington, D.C., a popular sign read simply, "Impeach Obama."
As a moderator of discussion on the blog www.exposeobama.com, Floyd has observed the discussion of impeachment is mushrooming amongst conservative activists.
Radio personality Tammy Bruce may have captured these activists' beliefs about Obama best: "Uultimately, it comes down to ... the fact that he seems to have, it seems to me, some malevolence toward this country, which is unabated."
But has Barack Obama committed an impeachable offense? What exactly constitutes an impeachable offense? Former President Gerald Ford, while serving in the House of Representatives, said an impeachable offense was "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."
Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution reads: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
The key phrase here is "high crimes and misdemeanors," a concept in English common law well-known to our Founding Fathers, but grossly misunderstood in this day and age. "High crimes and misdemeanors" essentially means bad behavior.

Look forward to your explanation that would lead me to believe that it is more than incompetence. Educate me please.
Im willing to listen and learn
Do you really Bidden for president?
Wait till a 2012 elections.
Obama’s insurance: President Biden. Biden’s insurance: President Pelosi.
Actually, I should like to see the “above-the-law” congress removed from office. With such stellar examples as: Charles Rangle [Tax Evasion], Barney Frank [prostitution ring run out of his domicile], John Murtha [Traitor: giving aid and comfort to our enemies by corroborating their accusations of war-crimes AND slandering/demoralizing our armed-forces]... and so forth.
I would first ask you, to explain why you believe it’s simply incompetence. Let’s start with you since you originally made the comment. I’m responding with my observations of the news and research. But I’m interested in your conclusion of simple incompetence.
Dont impeach him. Let him stay in 1600 Pa., and let him continue to be the huge lightning rod that he is. In 2010, change the diapers on the House by changing the balance of power to the Conservative side and take a big bite out of the Dim ass in the Senate. THAT will neutralize the Zero and he can continue to demoralize his own party making it easier for us to unseat him in 2012.
Impeachment efforts will just make the Dims and MSM (sorry if I’m repetitive) more ornery and pouty than they already are. More importantly, it will bring out the race hustlers big time.
And, we have a winner!!!! Indeed, remove Obozo and control goes to someone who is even less aware of his surroundings and more power would be deferred by default to Pelousi. That's a lose-lose-lose combination. Focus should be on 2010 and 2012 rather than Impeachment (which is really just a pipe-dream given this congress). Batten down the hatches and weather the storm until then folks.
We know how well that worked out last time.
All Impeachment does is take the focus off of
the enemy we face who attacked the U.S. and other countries.
also IslamOfascists and Marxist countries who now have nuclear weapons.
the Marxist threat in Latin and South America which is building and aided by Russia and Iran.
The Anti War loons are trying to figure out with the
diversion of the week in order to throw off the focus we need against the enemy who killed over 3,000 on 9/11
More people killed than 7 Dec 1941
The left was calling for Bushes’ impeachment every year of his two terms.
Why whisper?We should shout it from the mountain tops.This Userper needs to provide a real Birth Certificate.Othe reasons for impeaching hi
would be he’s violating his oath of office,to Secure,Protect
and Defend the Constitution of the United States.
Obama’s doing everything in his power to destroy our Constitution.
In the logical thought process it is up to you to explain why you disagree with my incompetence statement. Not up to me to explain it until you give your total reasoning for argument. You are, after all, the protagonist to my statement..
Pelosi is so drunk with power that she’s off her rocker. Give her a little more time and she may decide to produce the bc or worse so she can be the president.
I expect the fraud’s handlers will find a way to allow this disgraced failure to resign for, let’s just say, health reasons before any other means of dumping the usurper is successful.
He could be all you say he is in reality, but it doesn’t make impeachment any less a pointless fantasy.
This is just self-indulgent rhetoric that will not help our cause, any more than it helped the idiot left in their day.
What we need is to shout things that will help sway undecided and persuadable voters.
Actually, the dirtball was impeached. What he wasn’t was convicted, thought there was certainly enough evidence for it.
We don't have that long.
You don't wait for gangrene to "get better", because it doesn't.
I stand corrected. So his entry in the history books might have an asterisk. Otherwise, it was business as usual for the Arkansas Mafia.
Really I don’t care anything about your logical thought process statemment. You said it’s incompetence and so, I’m asking you to explain your position and how you arrived at that conclusion.
