Falsifying information to send US troops into war is a very, very big deal. If it's not an impeachable offense I don't know what is.
And in case you think this is a partisan thing, I think LBJ should have been impeached on the very same charges.
Bush deliberately engineering US foreign and domestic policy to benefit his buddies is also a VERY big deal. And the abuse of executive power (which sadly Obama is continuing). And the Wall Street bailouts (supported by both Bush and Obama). And the widespread regulatory capture (alas, ditto). Etc. etc. etc.
As for the most corrupt ever, Harding and some 19th century presidents come to mind, however the consequences of the 19th century presidents' corruption on the US were not as bad, nor were the consequences of Harding's corruption as bad.
Obama may feel corrupt and may be corrupt but the larger concern is his divisiveness with no possible intent other than destruction of life as we know it.
When the guy tells Hispanics to 'punish their enemies", incites the masses to seek out people who received bonuses from AIG and implies a threat to citizens in AZ because of proposed state legislation he didn't read, we have a big problem. Corruption will be a bargaining chip at his trial but not the main charge.
When the guy tells Hispanics to 'punish their enemies"
Political rhetoric. Not a crime.

Political cover for him bailing out AIG and Wall Street in the first place, a deservedly unpopular position. He was just trying to cover his behind. Not a crime.

With the possible exception of Carter, every US president of my lifetime has either cut off money to states or threatened to do so if said states didn't go along with his program or didn't vote for him in the first place.
(I'm not including Kennedy because my lifetime and his administration only overlapped by a few months. I'm unaware of him engaging in those tactics. But Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, both Bushes, and Clinton also engaged in similar tactics. It's the game of politics.)

What would be? War crimes ( the most solid charges that could be pinned on Obama)? If so, you'd have to indict Bush also....
Correction he's not accepted by YOU as our President.
I didn't like George W. Bush Jr. but I still accepted him as our President.
You will get your chance to vote President Obama out of office in November 2012. Until then unless something unforeseen happens he's still President of the United States whether you like it or not.
He's called people like me his enemy so now he's mine. He gave up his right to be called anything but excrement by well over half of America for what he's done and said about his fellow citizens, some who even voted for him. He doesn't care about you either, chump.
And there are legal plans to not wait until 2012 then to get rid of this POS.
