@H2O MAN,
Do you? Ask stupid questions, because that's all you are capable of. Obama is battling a GOP majority in the House who handicaps anything he wishes to do about creating jobs. Was your brain damaged by water? Or is it that your brain is filled with H2O?

@cicerone imposter,


You can't come up with a logical answer so you revert to childish behavior... you are so very predictable.

You lefties ignore the fact that when Obama said "We are 5 days from fundamentally transforming America"
today's Detroit is the prime example of the exact kind of transformation Obama has in mind for this country.

@H2O MAN,
Ignore what facts? That saving the auto industry saved over one million jobs?

You guys are too stupid to understand facts. Most of the money to bail out GMC has been paid back, AND it saved jobs.

The big list of 38 causes for impeaching President Barack Hussein Obama.
LAST UPDATED: January 13, 2011.

Many people are wondering what it would take to impeach Obama. Here is a summary about impeachment in general from the American Bar Association website, <http://www.abanet.org/publiced/impeach2.html>:
Article 2, Section 4, specifies that “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.”
Ok. So we have the list of potential causes per the Constitution. Next, what is the process of impeachment?
Article 1, Section 2, of the Constitution specifies that “the House of Representatives…shall have the sole power of impeachment.” This means that it has the power to bring charges against an official.

Once impeached, high officials are tried by the Senate. Article 1, Section 3, specifies, “The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.”

The basic impeachment process is spelled out in the Constitution. In essence, the House of Representatives functions something like a grand jury, in that it weighs the evidence and determines whether it is sufficient to justify articles of impeachment (similar to an indictment) and a trial to determine whether the charged official is guilty or not guilty. This trial is held in the Senate, with the Senators serving as jurors. The basic process, then, is in broad outline similar to the process for bringing criminal charges against an individual through the judicial system. If impeachment proceedings are brought against the President, the Chief Justice presides, adding a “judicial” aspect.
Ok. So we have the process. In more detail, what are the grounds for impeachment?
As noted above, the Constitution specifies that high government officials may be impeached for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” What precisely constitutes “high crimes and misdemeanors” is, however, uncertain because the courts have not specifically defined or interpreted the term, unlike other constitutional clauses. Treason and bribery are very serious offenses against the state, and most experts agree that offenses encompassed within “high crimes and misdemeanors” are similarly serious. (“Misdemeanors” is a constitutional term that does not have the current meaning of an offense less serious than a felony.)

Also, many experts agree that there are different standards for impeachable and criminal conduct. In the words of Dean John D. Feerick of Fordham University School of Law, in an article published in 1984, “Most authorities agree–and the precedents are in accord–that an impeachable offense is not limited to conduct which is indictable. Conduct that undermines the integrity of a public office or is in disregard of constitutional duties or involves abuse of power is generally regarded as grounds for impeachment. Since impeachment is a drastic sanction, the misconduct must be substantial and serious.”

Now, what are the specific complaints and evidence against President Obama?
COMPLAINTS

14. He has as a matter of patronage stolen private industries from shareholders and given them to workers’ unions.
15. He has substantially benefitted his political financial supporters by giving public money to foreign industries.
16. He has arranged very large unscrupulous deals with private companies to exchange public money for his political advertising.

21. He has attempted to insert himself into even the most personal life experience, our end of life care.
22. He has attempted to refuse to pay for medical treatment for wounded soldiers.
23. He has refused his assent to Laws of Congress, exercising false powers of veto that are contrary and insubordinate to the Constitution.
24. He has contradicted and violated the rule of law regarding bankruptcy after forcing the failure of one of our largest automakers.

28. He has violated the First Amendment by trying to stifle free speech by using the NEA to support political partisanship.
29. He has refused reasonable demonstrations of fidelity to the United States.

32. He has aided and abetted America’s enemies.
33. He has accepted a bribe from a foreign government for fulfilling their political purposes.
34. He has created a federal bank in direct violation of the Constitution.
35. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
36. He has combined with Communist, Socialists and Fascists to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our American character, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation.
37. He has, in collusion with an insolent and irresponsible Congress, imposed Taxes against our consent not only on us, but also on our beloved children and our grandchildren denying them any representation.
38. He has nullified parts of our Constitution, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally our Form of Government.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated insults and injuries. A President whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant is unfit to be the Chief Executive of a free people.


EVIDENCE:
1. He has violated his oath to defend the US Constitution by exercising powers forbidden by the Constitution.
Barack Obama seems to have a disdain for the US Constitution. He used to teach the Constitution at the University of Chicago, so he is quite familiar with what is in it. [1][2][3][4][5][6][8][11][12][14] [15][16][18][20][21][22][24][25][28][29] [31][37][38][39][40][43][44]
2. He has used public money to purchase private companies.
Obama’s administration purchased General Motors. The Constitution forbids the government from buying and running private industries.[2][38][40]
3. He has illegally tried to use public money to create publicly owned companies.
Obama’s government tried to create a health insurance company. The Constitution forbids the government from doing this.[3]
4. He has embezzled public money allocated by Congress for rescuing distressed private financial institutions, and used it to purchase automobile manufacturing companies.
The public tax money Obama used for the General Motors purchase was designated by law for the support of distressed financial companies. It was not to be used for anything else. Obama took Congresses money and spent it on a car company against the law of Congress.[4][60]
5. He has given our public money to finance foreign automobile companies.
The so-called “Cash for Clunkers” program redistributed the public tax money and gave it to car dealers. The overwhelming majority of the automobiles purchased were of foreign make. Much of the money for those automobiles wound up lining the pockets of foreign automobile manufacturers.[5]
6. He has given our public money to a foreign state to finance their state-run oil company while refusing to allow us to develop our own oil resources.
Obama financed a Brazilian oil company using public tax money to search for foreign oil in Brazil. The company, Brazil-owned Petrobras, was a wealthy state run company, perfectly capable of doing the search itself. This was effectively a gift of US tax money to the investors in the company and its owner. At the same time we have plenty of oil in the US to search for and produce, especially in Alaska, and yet Obama denies us the right to develop our own oil resources.[6][7]
7. He has violated the principle of balance of powers by usurping Congress’ role of law maker.
Even the more radical leftists in Congress complained about his power grab. According to the complaints of the leftist politicians Obama is usurping the power of lawmaker from Congress through his czars.[8]
8. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
Obama’s financial plans for the recovery are based on communist, socialist and fascist ideas with no history of success, and every history of failure. While forcing these pre-doomed plans onto the economy, he would not execute economic practices that are know to work. He pursued tax-and-spend economic policies, while refusing supply-side, tax cut based plans. This has extended the suffering caused by the recession. He tried to help the issues in banking without having a clear plan.[9][23]
9. He has ignored the laws protecting us from the insolvency of financial institutions.
According to bankruptcy law, specifically the Prompt Corrective Action law, failed banks are supposed to close and go into receivership to the government. Obama ignored the law. Instead he propped up failing banks artificially using public tax money and nationalized them. The law exists for a reason. It protects the banking system from collapse.[51][52]
10. He has demanded and implemented Tax-and-Spend laws that inevitably lead to economic collapse.
Obama claimed promised to not raise taxes as President. He raised taxes by turning them into debt to be paid later. He is also trying to raise taxes by driving up the costs of energy which especially hurts the poor. [10]
11. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by appointing a judge to the Supreme Court based not on ability to interpret the Constitution, but on radical ideology and color of skin.
Obama’s choice for Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor was certainly based on her latino heritage. She also has a history of radicalism that makes it clear that her legal judgment is heavily slanted. [11][24][25]
12. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Czars to harass our people and eat out their substance.
Other Presidents have had czars, or the equivalent. Obama has created more of them than any other President. His czars are more radical and on the political fringe than those of any other President in history. Through them his is overriding the role of Congress as lawmaker.[13][26]
13. He has violated the balance of powers by appointing Czars with far reaching powers who are accountable to no one but himself.
The President’s cabinet needs to be approved by Congress. The Founders set things up this way for a reason. Obama’s czars form a shadow cabinet. Sometimes the czars have as much power as the cabinet members. The czars sometimes create laws which is a responsibility of Congress.[12][22]
14. He has as a matter of patronage stolen private industries from shareholders and given them to workers’ unions.
After Obama took over GM and Chrysler, he gave a large ownership of the companies to the Auto Workers unions. These unions were big supporters of his during the Presidential election.[14]

15. He has substantially benefitted his political financial supporters by giving public money to foreign industries.
George Soros is a huge supporter of Obama and his causes. Just days before Obama gave billions of public tax money to Brazil-owned Petrobras, Soros made a big financial move that earned him millions from Obama’s gift.[32][33]

16. He has arranged very large unscrupulous deals with private companies to exchange public money for his political advertising.
Obama arranged large potential deals with pharmacy companies. Those same companies gave large amounts of money to Obama for his presidential campaign. They have the ability to give more large amounts in the next election.[34][35]

17. He has attempted to create a public industry, a health insurance company, that would compete with existing and similar private industries in open defiance of the consent of the people, and the letter and intent of the Constitution.
This cause for impeachment, of course, is the imfamous H.R.3200 unconstitutional and very unpopular socialized medicine bill. The overwhelming majority of the US population doesn’t want it, yet he still insists on forcing it on us.[15][28][29][41][42]

18. He has attempted to annul free of speech by setting up an illegal reporting system for recording the names of dissenters and by publicly attacking private citizens who oppose him.
He set up a reporting system for people to email “tattle tales” about possibly incorrect or misleading information about H.R.3200 to his office. This would create a dampening effect on the people’s First Amendment right to discuss legislation. He also has openly and publicly attacked private citizens from his office. He is presently attempting to financially punish the forms of media, namely talk radio, which are most critical of him, effectively charging those media companies an unconscienable tax, one equal to their earnings, to stay in business. He intends to use those taxes to pay for equivalents to those forms of media that he controls.[16][21][37][39]
19. He has counted illegal aliens as citizens to skew his standing with Congress.
Obama is intending in the 2010 census to count all people in the US without questioning their citizenship status. This brings the US one step further in losing our national identity. This false counting of the people gives those districts with large numbers of illegal aliens greater representation in the House of Representatives. This is effectively turning the government over to a foreign power to some degree. This is an act of treason.[44]

20. He has illegally fired Inspectors General who found wrong-doing with his political crones.
Obama fired nspector General Walpin in an illegal manner after Walpin discovered legal improprieties committed by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, one of Obama’s political supporters. Obama did not give a reason for his firing. In a like manner, he fired Inspector General David Hoffman after Hoffman found wrongdoings with a nephew of Chicago’s infamous Mayor Daley, who is a longtime political associate of Obama’s.[17][30]

21. He has attempted to insert himself into even the most personal life experience, our end of life care.
Part of Obama’s unconstitutional H.R.3200 contains a provision for government evaluation and counseling for end of life care and potentially provides a paid service that affects the income of the counselor, benefiting them if the patient dies. This is horribly immoral.[31]

22. He has attempted to refuse to pay for medical treatment for wounded soldiers.
In an unbelievably disgraceful act, Obama tried to talk the Veterans Administration into having US soldiers pay for their medical treatment for wounds received in combat using their own medical insurance.[36]

23. He has refused his assent to Laws of Congress, exercising false powers of veto that are contrary and insubordinate to the Constitution.
Congress passed a bill directing how money from the International Monetary Fund should be spend. Obama effectively vetoed sections of the bill, saying that they interfered with his ability to conduct foreign relations. According the Constitution Obama does not have the right to conduct foreign relations, except as provided by Congress. He invented a nonexistent right to a line item veto, and then justified it with a nonexistent right to conduct foreign relations which were themselves contrary to the requirements of Congress.[18]

24. He has contradicted and violated the rule of law regarding bankruptcy after forcing the failure of one of our largest automakers.
According to bankruptcy law, secured creditors get paid by the bankrupt organization before unsecured creditors. When Chrysler went into bankruptcy Obama gave the United Auto Workers $0.50 on the dollar for their unsecured debt, while giving the shareholders only $0.25 on the dollar for their secured debt. This is in complete contradiction to bankruptcy law.[19]

25. He has appointed a Secretary of State who is ineligible for office.
Obama appointed President Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, to Secretary of State even though she is clearly illegal according to the Constitution. No Senator who votes for an increase in salary for a Cabinet office, such as Secretary of State, can be eligible for that office for a given period of time. Obama decided to ignore the Constitution, and appointed Clinton anyway.[54]

26. He has attempted to force all citizens into mandatory servitude to the government.
Obama originally planned to force every US citizen to do some kind of social work for the government for a minimum number of hours per year. Then he tried to make this applicable to only minors, which would also violate the child labor laws. [20][43]
27. He has wasted our precious time and resources on his pet projects, while neglecting to attend to critical issues of the general welfare.
On September 9, 2009 he addressed a joint session of Congress with a speech on HR 3200, trying to push socialized medicine onto the public. His greatest focus is on getting this project implemented. At the same time we are in the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. He is neglecting the economy while attending to his pet socialized medicine project.

28. He has violated the First Amendment by trying to stifle free speech by using the NEA to support political partisanship.
Obama attempted to use the NEA to promote his Democrat political agenda. The NEA is charged with providing financial support for the arts, not supporting political agendas. When he tries to use the strings of governmental control in the form of funding to support a political agenda, he is taking control of the public discussion and attempting to change it into and instrument to support his own ends. The state is attempting to control the public discussion by controlling arts funding and directing it towards a political purpose.[55]

29. He has refused reasonable demonstrations of fidelity to the United States.
Obama has hidden away certain necessary documents–passports, etc.–that demonstrate his fidelity to the United States.[56]
30. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our lands, the merciless Islamo-fascist terrorists whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Obama promised to close the prisons for terrorists in Guantamo Bay in Cuba. To close this he will have to bring the prisoners to the US. He has also been actively involved with US radicals as a “community organizer” where he taught, preached and encouraged social disruption that favored radical socialists, communists and other alien ideologies.[48][49][50][53]
31. He has misapplied America’s military for his own political puposes.
Obama sent a large number of US soldiers into Afghanistan to perform in roles that did not match their training. He did this for political reasons in the US. This put our soldiers into harms way and was demoralizing to the troops.[62]
32. He has aided and abetted America’s enemies.
Obama has released terrorist enemies of America, al Qaeda members, to their homeland in Yemen where they are certain to rejoin with their anti-American associates.[57][58][59] He used America’s financial recovery money to directly support Sharia militants who are at war with the United states.[61]
33. He has accepted a bribe from a foreign government for fulfilling their political purposes. Obama accepted the $1.4 million dollars for the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize was awarded by members of the Norwegian government with the intent that Obama fulfill their political designs. Obama accepted the money, controlled it, and gave it to organizations for his personal benefit.[63][64]
34. He has created a federal bank in direct violation of the Constitution. Obama created a bank in the US government for checking accounts that competes directly with private sector banks.[65][66]
35. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
Obama has supported large complex bills that were produced for review only hours before Congress had the opportunity to vote on them. The members of Congress had no time to review the bills. The citizens did not have the opportunity to review and discuss them. The Constitution requires that the public be able to review and discuss legislation. Obama is required by his duty under his oath to veto all such bills.[45][46][47]

36. He has combined with Communist, Socialists and Fascists to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our American character, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation.
Most notably, the Communists, Socialists and Fascists are Obama czars. He has a long history of associating and supporting such individuals.

37. He has, in collusion with an insolent and irresponsible Congress, imposed Taxes against our consent not only on us, but also on our beloved children and our grandchildren denying them any representation.
Obama executed H.R.1, misnamed the “Stimulus Bill,” under the pretense that this bill would help fix the recession, when in reality it appears it had more to do with political payolla for support for his candidacy for President. The debt incurred by this bill and other similar bill will take generations to pay off. Future generations had no say in these imposed taxes, so this is a classic example of the crime of taxation without representation.

38. He has nullified parts of our Constitution, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally our Form of Government.

All of the above prove this.

@H2O MAN,
I realize that it is futile to ask you this, H20, since you don't do research. Are you aware of of job gains/losses in the private/public sectors recently?
In general, though, are you in favor of eliminating jobs at the federal, state and local government levels?

@realjohnboy,
rjb, You're wasting your time asking waterboy about unemployment/employment gains and losses. He doesn't understand anything about macroeconomics and the trends on unemployment since the Great Recession hit our economy in December 2007. He's a one-liner like Palin; no substance.

@parados,
2.7 million uniformed members of the US military served in Vietnam between 1964 and 1975.

So over an 11 year period in which 2.7 million people served in Vietnam there were about 900 reported incidents and 320 confirmed incidents.

Compare the number of reported incidents to the number of men and women serving and you will find the former is 0.033% of the latter. The number of confirmed incidents is 0.012% of the number of men and women who served.

Any effort to compare the number of incidents (reported or confirmed) to the number of "man days" served will result in even smaller percentages.

My confident bet is that the per capita incidents of atrocity in Vietnam was a good bit lower than the per capita incidents of 'atrocity' in the US during the same period of time. Perhaps you will want to research it and prove me wrong.

Obviously, this is not a justification of any of the atrocities but if one accepts that atrocities in war are inevitable (and I don't know how anyone cannot) then the rate during the Vietnam war seems remarkably low, and certainly not in keeping with Kerry of Vietnam's lurid testimony before congress.

Nevertheless, an important question concerning Kerry of Vietnam is:

If he personally witnessed all of these atrocities, why didn't he do something about them at the time?

Does anyone seriously doubt that some American servicemen did try and intercede and put a stop to atrocious behavior and either were successful or were themselves killed?

Let's assume Kerry of Vietnam knew that America was depending upon his genius as a member of the government and figured that he would be doing his country a disservice if he risked his neck trying to stop atrocities in Vietnam. Why didn't he report the atrocities to his commanding officers?

I'd like to think I would have tried to intervene, but who knows, and if I allowed fear to prevent me from intervening, I'd like to think that I would have reported the incidents...but again who knows?

What I do know though is that after not intervening or reporting, I never would have had the sociopathic balls to get in front of congress and testify that my fellow soldiers were the Mongol horde reborn.

But then, maybe he never witnessed anything and was simply lying to make a name for himself.

His is the perfect persona of the modern Liberal:

Some warped sense of what intellectual bonafides require leads them to criticize their country and countrymen at every opportunity.

I could almost accept this compulsion if it was framed within the premise that America is exceptional and so our tolerance for malfeasance should be extremely limited, but that's certainly not the case. These same critics sneer at the notion of American Exceptionalism, and a fair number of them are hell bent on proving not only that America is nowhere near as good as it thinks it is, but it is worse than any other nation.

Kerry of Vietnam is a despicable opportunist who was more than willing to throw his country and his brothers in arms under the bus to advance his personal obsession with power. He has, though, obtained power, and so his pathology actually harms our country. The rest of you pissants who carry his water are only meaningful in your aggregate.

I agree with whole-heartedly. Also, I believe you are neglecting the collateral damage the US did in Vietnam through the use of agent orange which affected their people long after the war. People there still suffer from birth defect deformations. That kind of "violence" against any peoples can never be forgiven.

Nothing irrational about it; you just don't know how to read the credible publications like the WSJ, NYT, and Washington Post. Government analysis also support my opinions.

The only support you have are known liars and conservative spokespeople who's bias is common knowledge.

How can you ignore the fact that GW Bush slaughtered tens of thousands of innocents in Iraq and Afghanistan and still make the pretense you do about being a big personal responsibility conservative, h20man?

War crimes never go away.

@Finn dAbuzz,
What a load of fallacious garbage Finn..

Kerry never said it was a "large percentage" so your attempt to make it a small percentage proves nothing.

Asking that we compare a trained military force that is not supposed to commit atrocities to a general population is nothing but a red herring on your part.

Kerry witnessed ALL the atrocities? Could you build a bigger strawman Finn?

I realize you are nothing more than a troll johnboy, but yes I am
in favor of shrinking the size and scope of the Obama's government.
State and local governments need to tighten up and privatize.
