Steve King on default: Obama could be impeached
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0711/59836.html ^

Posted on 07/25/2011 12:25:00 PM PDT by thepatriot1

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that President Barack Obama “would be impeached” if the nation falls into default.

“STOP talking about default,” he wrote on Twitter. “The 1st dime of each $1 of revenue services debt. Obama would be impeached if he blocked debt payments. C C & B!”

That’s part of Congress’ problem: “trying is a waste of time if unsuccessful”. No, you do the right thing because that may prompt others to do the right thing; if not, you’re at least on record as having done the right thing. Impeachment may not remove him, but it does have an impact.

Instructing DOJ to stop upholding DOMA.

There is another car in that long train of abuses. It's beginning to look like a coal train.

True, but on a global basis he is creating a disaster. Domestically? There have been many basis for impeachment, but the people seem to have let it go. The sooner there is an impeachment, the more stable, safe and secure America will become. Employment WILL rise cuzzz people can make plans!

Reid: John, help me. That mad man in the WH is crazy. What can I do?

Boehner: Harry, you made your pack with the devil, now you're stuck with it. Should have passed CCB when you had the chance. Have fun in hell.

I was thinking the same thing. Of course, then you've gone from dumb to dumber...

Anyone with half of a half of a brain has said raising taxes in a depression is the worst thing to do.

Yet Obama is hellbent on it. No POTUS is so proud to raise taxes. He is hellbent on destroying this country. Do you think it could be so he can usher in global currency and order with the UN? This will fail as well. Does he not see it will fail? Does he care?

WHATEVER!

They won’t even impeach for starting wars, like not paying debt would do anything.

Sorry, lost all faith.

Exactly how I feel. Exactly. That means millions feel the same way. In fact, Obama could have been impeached long before Libya. And me... I am NOT the "impeach the President" type of guy. Not even during the Clinton Presidency.

But now? Sorry, lost all faith, too.

We cannot pick and choose which crimes we impeach a President with. Not only does it look stupid it will also appear political. That's a shame.

I’m starting to question Mr. King’s insanity if he actually thinks he could get obama impeached.

Actually, it forced Democrat Senators to go on record and vote that they did not want Algore to be President.

Even though Ventura is whacked seeing that picture makes me wonder if they are all good friends and it’s an act.

A hearing of articles of impeachment would indeed take place if Obama usurped congress and raised the debt ceiling or passed immigration reform on his own <-—for votes of course. Obama already has gotten away with going on his own regarding Libya. As well as fast and furious already has whistle blowers getting fired and Melson singing like a canary.

Obama has the mindset and beliefs of his communist upbringing. He is not one of us, it’s obvious to all. He has an agenda and knows what he’s doing and is infuriated now that he’s being challanged........it wasn’t supposed to happen to him.

I’ll check out your link, thanks.

But not convict him

Steve King wouldn't be involved in that anyway.

Saw your list. I tried that, got to about 20 including his racism, burning his documents and more. He’s corrupt as they come but oddly all those”impeachment” lists are actually pluses to the socialists/marxists/etc in our country. Blame the hipies, blame corruption in politics, but dang it, he needs to be immpeached because mainly he is NOT sane and certainly not pro American. That part of him makes me puke whenever I see him saying he cares for Americans and yet he has this look about him like he’s arogantly above all and calling all of us, even his supporters, suckers, a****les and worse. Yes, Impeach the whole lot of them,. Biden as president doesn’t amuse me though.

impeached by the house and exhonerated by the Senate...at least until 2012 then hopefully he is voted out.

....attempting to treat an enemy combatant, one resposible for 3000 deaths, as a civilian with full constitutional rights, which may also fall under treason if the attempt was made solely to give the combatant a better chance at freedom knowing that a violation of those rights could have the case thrown out.

Good one--forwarding to TigersEye, who started the list.
