Where Is the Red Line of Impeachment?
American Thinker ^ | February 15, 2014 | Cindy Simpson

Posted on 02/15/2014 2:32:44 AM PST by neverdem

In the business world, a diligent board of directors would have long ago fired CEO Obama.

Sometimes it takes only a year of less than expected earnings to result in the termination of a corporate CEO. A couple of underperforming years and a few reasons more, and a CEO would have his bags packed and stowed underneath his buck-stopping desk. A long list of problems -- especially one suggesting even a hint of fraud -- that fails to generate a satisfactory board response would stir shareholders and lenders to demand the resignation of not only the CEO and other key employees, but also its directors. For without remediation, the company's stock prices would tumble as shareholders divest and banks pull the plug.

Our government's CEO is Barack Obama, its board of directors is Congress, its workforce consists of a growing multitude of Big Government bureaucracies, and its bank is the unaccountable monopoly of the Federal Reserve. Anymore, hardly anyone with any power in that vast organization seems to represent the interests of We the People (the shareholders).

The Democrat-media complex can ridicule political opposition as "fringe" or "extremist," but the ominous ticking of the 17-trillion-dollar debt clock is becoming harder to ignore. The growing debt transforms our shares from an asset into a liability that gravely impacts our national security. Our future generations will no longer expect the reward of dividends in their pursuit of happiness. Instead, and not by choice, they inherit more than their fair share of risk -- the labor of digging out of this financial mess, the difficult task of restoring real freedom and liberty, and the rebuilding of our national status and defenses abroad.

Not only has the financial value of our shares turned upside-down, but the attached voting value has become diluted...

Even if it were Allan West? Herman Cane? Ben Carson?

——No it’s a yellow line.-——

Though I certainly agree the yellow line running down the backs of most pubblies is a serious problem.....

What purpose other than give the media a “ squirrel” to distract the masses of LIV from the real reason he is being impeached rather than the media promoting the pubblies being a bunch of racist mouth breathers who just hate Obama because he is black...

In principle I think we should move to impeachment .... But at what cost and what result....

In the end I think it will be a losing proposition...

I agree. I don’t think they would impeach him even if he issued an executive order making himself president for life. I’m not suggesting he will, but I’m not suggesting he won’t, either.

“In the business world, a diligent board of directors would have long ago fired CEO Obama.”

Like Ray Stanz said in “Ghostbusters”, “ I’ve worked in the private sector, they expect results.”

I will never EVER vote for ANY black ”liberal” politician. They are held to NO standard.
What standard was Clinton (either of them) held to? The “unusually good liar” standard. Or as I should say, “standard."
Surely you don’t suppose a Allen West would be given a pass? Nonsense - it’s not the skin color, not really - that’s just a weapon. What it actually is that nobody gets called a “liberal” (or “progressive” or “moderate” or “centrist” - or any other positive label journalists can think of) without going along and getting along with the journalism monopoly. The only difference between an “objective” journalist and a “liberal” is that no journalist ever calls anyone other than a journalist “objective.” That’s it. It’s a hiring decision, nothing more. The difference between a “conservative” and a “liberal” is that the “conservative” can never get a job as an “objective” journalist, and the “liberal” can - because he already has experience second-guessing people who work to a bottom line.

Screw the rule of law. Impeachment won’t happen because the very people responsible for starting that process don’t care about our laws either. How about the red line of revolution? 3%.......

Obama does not have to worry about impeachment, for the reasons cited on this thread.

What he does have to worry about is his own party taking him out.

There have been two recent closed-door meetings between Obama and party factions.
If we believe the media reports as to what these meetings were about, then we can conclude all is well. I don’t believe the media, it can be assumed the media will lie.

The Democratic party is losing independents for crying out loud. Independents! Does anyone believe they aren’t in panic mode? The critical rift of course, is Obamacare. This is where the battle lines are drawn.

Rock, meet hard place.

It is now Obamacare goes down or the Democratic Party goes down. I think they will all begin to act in their own self interest, and the question is which one has the power over the other. I realize Obama will refuse to give in, and may seem to have the upper hand, but the Dems in Congress could put Obamacare to rest, and let’s face it, now that it has been implemented, even key Dem constituencies are against it.

Pass the popcorn.

This was a coup d’etat by MB/al Qaeda
who are now in charge of what was once the USA.

Law is gone. Freedom is gone. The Constitution is gone.
Accountability is gone.

The hated, EXEMPT, treasonous US Congress has abdicated
to their banks, brothels, and 4th vacation homes.

I have a different perspective on the demise of our Constitutional Republic.

There is no doubt that there is a coup going on that represents the very essence of the Democrap Party. It is executed by three offices:

1. The AG has anesthetized the whole Justice System. Pure nonfeasance on any issue which is in conflict with the aims of the Democrap Party.

2. By the Senate President paralyzing the Congress and polls only surveying the Congress as a single entity, the efforts of the House of Representatives are lost. Each house of the Congress should be polled separately.

3. The Executive branch is led by CZAR Gosnell Goebbels. I frequently ask myself who is the real press secretary? The airways are full of pronouncements from the CZAR and are repeated over and over many times a day. Remember the old Latin saying: "Repetitio est Mater Studiorum".

If a LIE is told often enough to large groups of people, pretty soon a large percentage of those people will believe the LIE.

The credit for the present state of our economy and our Republic must be given to the DEMOCRAP PARTY. They are the enablers of the legislation; they have control of the oversight functions; and with the CZAR as their spokesman, nothing counter to thier efforts will change the present situation.

It appears to be more of a pink gradient.

The House doesn't impeach because the perception is that impeachment isn't in the personal interest of most members.

Very true

The hierarchy of elected politicians priority

1. Get yourself re-elected
2. Help get your fellow member re-elected
3. Take care of your large donors
4. Keep your mistress happy to keep her mouth shut
5. Keep wife in plenty of happy pills
6. Take care of your dog.
7. Your constituents...but only during election cycles

He would never do so because that would be an act of honesty.

Just as he need not instruct the IRS to sic his enemies, his newly reformed military will need no explicit order to protect our Darky Despot.

Yes. I misspoke. But I’m angry at all the racism being shown by the average black to my kind of people.

I believe some else previously nailed it when they stated it is not a “red line”, it is a “YELLOW LINE”.

There are too few rhino’s that will stand up and support impeaching odumbo. They ALSO need to be “impeached”, by the legal voters.

The founders wanted to make replacement of the President difficult. They did not want it to be like Italy turned out to be.

In practice, they made replacement impossible. There will never be a 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict, Barack or any one else.

It is now Obamacare goes down or the Democratic Party goes down

The die is cast...when "You can keep your health care if you want to" lie was exposed...

Anybody with a functioning brain knows Obamacare needs to die or at least be seriously reformed...

Those same people also know the only way to kill or reform Obamacare is to dump the dems...

It's going to be a bloodbath for the dems come 2014...

His actions has assured that no one with a working brain will ever vote for him again, not that he will have any opportunities unless he uses his executive powers to repeal the 22nd amendment (which his idiot followers would’t get why that’s a bad thing). He’s like hiring the Mafia to manage the IRS. Bad idea.

“Where Is the Red Line of Impeachment?”

Face it, if Bama were a white pubbie he would have been impeached by now. Old Uncle Sam, now Uncle Schmuck will never impeach it's first black president, of Kenyan descent.

Understand FRiend. Sometimes I need to just “step away”, or go to God about it all.
You got this.
