“Incompetence is not a crime.”

Sadly true, but one could argue the un-Constitutional abuses (health control); extra-Constitutional appointments of “czars” - more properly described as a commissariat; tampering with private salaries, contracts and property rights; the pattern of appointing overt reprobates (Geitner’s taxes, Kagan’s deceitful evidence tampering, etc.) and gross dereliction of mandated duty (border security) would meet the requirement of “high crimes and misdemeanors”. However, I also recognize that this is merely a circular hypothetical with a congressional majority and a federal jurisprudence as corrupt as he is.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement of yours:

“It’s not necessarily Democrats vs Republicans, or a liberal vs conservative thing, it’s Washington vs the rest of us.”

The essential truth of your summary is something that we MUST keep in mind, lest we focus too narrowly on the passing construct which is Obama. Obama is merely the most recent and most rancid blossom in garden of decaying liberty. His policies are an acceleration of bad policy going back to Woodrow Wilson. We have suffered incremental subversions of liberty for some time - we are just FORCED to acknowledge it now.

I actually agree that Obama is guilty of impeachable offenses by any reasonable metric. I saw a program on TV where soldiers were discussing the Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan. Our troops must only "return fire" and not intiate contact. They have stated that this is costing American lives. In short our official policy is to let the enemy "get the drop" on our soldiers.

The mentioned how the enemy will openly maneauver before them with impunity until they get "set" in optimal defensive positions and then bring fire and exit before we can even effectively engage.

When I was in Boot Camp during the Vietnam Era we were taught about the element of surprise, ambushes and tactics that give the advantage to the American Soldiers.

I believe that this is tantamount to "aiding and abeting the enemy." That my friends is an impeachable offense.

zero’s been at -17 most of this week. That’s actually up from the -20 and -19 he was at for a couple days earlier in the week.

impeach the first black president

Make that the second black president...Clinton would be offended. And look what they Did Not do to him. This country is suffering from terminal "do nothingness."

I can imagine one of these soldiers coming home and taking a trip to DC to “demonstrate” his frustrations.

Putting people in harms way and then tying their hands behind their back is a great way to create a vicious and motivated enemy. And they have the balls to lump soldiers in with terrorists. My 18 year old son will not be cannon fodder for this prick.

I’ll allow that there’s a lot of truth to that statement.

But I’ve got some nuance to add to it.

First off, the election of Barack OBama was a very studied plan. The whole thing was the result of years of scheming and plotting, the notion based on the weakness, follies, and yes goodness, of the American public.

Many folks, like my mother-in-law, an elder lady with a good heart and kind soul, looked at Barack and saw a soft, well-cpoken, “clean” black man. Many good people like this thought it was time for this country to have a black man at the helm. They fell for that bit about any bad stuff about the guy being racist.

The media of course fell for Obama lock, stock and barrell. First, the media is almost always liberal. Second, it was a change, the stuff of front page puff pieces that nice ladies like my MIL would love-”First Black First Lady Grows White House Vegetable Garden”. Third, the Lamestream media is now owned by big companies that have big contracts with, and depend greatly on, the gubmint.

Microsoft needs its operating system in all gubmint computers. GE has big contracts with this Green thing that’s a big nothing-burger. Disney, I dunno, but there’s gubmint money in there somewhere.

So the notion of media as opposition and exposer of gubmint misdeeds is no longer. Blogs and alternate media are growing but weren’t big enough to stop the Obama lies.

There were a bunch of Democrats who vote Democrat no matter what. My MIL is Independent, and she’s proud of this. The Indies were the ones who thought Obama was a nice black man with a cute family. There’s lots of Dems...unions...that kind of thing, that vote Dem automatically, just as lots of Repubs pull that lever automatically.

It’s the Indies who sway these races. That’s a very sad, but true, fact. If 33% of the populce is Dem, 33% Repub (and I know those percentages aren’t correct) then there’s another third out there who will sway elections.

Then Obamer passed the health care against our wishes. That was a BIG turnoff. That financial reform probably won’t change any heads. Calling Tea Parties racist, a Noble Prize for nothing....oh, and that Black Panther thing, these are the kinds of things that make my MIL blanche, using her as a sort of benchmark if you’ll allow.

That nice black man is viewed as borderline, if not outright, thuggish.

It was a Perfect Storm that ushered Obamer in.

It will be a taste of reality that will usher him out.

It’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

The strongly approve/strongly disapprove numbers are much more important because those people tend to talk to more people about what they think and therefore influence more people ultimately.

However, 14% of the population is black and if you subtract the 90% of blacks that support him unconditionally, you have only about 10% to 11% of non-blacks supporting Obastard.

They DID impeach AR Bill; but it was MS Lott who said he didn’t want to read the “garbage.”
