“Why are the republicans allowing this creep to stay in office?”
They’re scared to be called racist...and they have no cojones.
I hope you realize that we only have the House, which can impeach him, but it takes the Senate to remove him from Office. You are delusional if you think that Harry Reid will agree with the Republicans on this

No, not quite -- unfortunately.
They're letting him rip and run because he's doing their work, too, as was pointed out the other day by FReeper Kenny Bunk.
Obamacare takes private healthcare away -- and gets employer-paid health plans off the balance sheets of thousands of employers. This has been a major goal of top S&P 500 managements for at least five, more like 10-15 years.
So they don't care what else Obamacare does; it reduces their costs.
Second, Obama in office takes the blame for economic underperformance (the only thing RiNO's and Business Wing GOP'ers care about), while the congressional RiNO's quietly guard business interests and work to increase their seats in Congress.
As long as Obama is in office, extending and deepening the Depression, the RiNO's are good with that. They think he'll take the blame.
What is the unseen risk (for them) is that Obama will wind up shooting them all instead. Or maybe he'll only shoot us, and come to an "arrangement" with them. Either way, the S&P captains will be worse off, but they don't see that now; their hubris and cocksure managerial brio blinds them to a possibly very unpleasant outcome.
