Is it time to whisper the word 'impeachment' ?
WorldNetDaily ^ | October 08, 2009 | Floyd and Mary Beth Brown

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.

Robert Reich is one of 0's key advisers. Listen to what he said about health care in 2007. Obama must be lying as Reich spoke the truth as he sees it in 2007:

Obama is Lying. Listen to Robert Reich Speaking on Healthcare !

Tell your grandparents. Tell your parents. And your aunts and uncles and all their friends. Tell everyone you know that is age 55 or older; Obama supports Eugenics and Euthanasia.

Therefore Obama deserves to be impeached. For lying. And fraud. Sooner is better than later.

here's a related story from yesteryear:
Ramsey Clark to Protesters: 'Let's Impeach Bush'
Saturday, Jan. 18, 2003
[Former U.S. Attorney General under President Johnson, Ramsey] Clark told a crowd of cheering anti-American demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C., ...that Bush has already "waged war, first strike and pre-emption, on his own, without the consent of the Congress or the United Nations." In fact, Bush has won resolutions of support for his Iraqi policy from both bodies. Next the former AG asked the crowd, "Has [Bush] threatened to use nuclear weapons?" "Yes," came the response, despite the fact that that charge was also erroneous. "Has he authorized and condoned assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings and secret holding of people in unlawful detention?" Clark wondered aloud, before adding bizarrely, "And bribery!"
