The people who approve and support Obama seem to be in the minority.

Yet, nothing is ever done to remove Obama from office. The Senate and House has done nothing. Can they do this ? Should they do this ?

Is Obama really that bad of a president ? Personally, I don't like the guy, and wish he would remove himself from office and let someone else be president. I think he is putting his own ideals ahead of what is good for America, I think he does not care about the middle class, and I don't think he cares about the constitution and what it stands for.

I am a Vietnam Veteran. My family has been in America since the early 1800's (as far as we can tell). This is not the America I went to war for in Vietnam. The 1% is getting bigger, the middle class is getting smaller, health cost is going up, the country is being flooded with uneducated, unskilled people from other countries, and our Southern border is largely unsecure. Our Southern border has been open for decades, yet nothing has been done to stop the illegals from coming onto American soil. It can be done, but has not.
What America was that? The America that prided itself on separate but equal? Or how about the America that held opposing communism above integrity?

This. So many of these folks seem to think that if you're not nearly foaming at the mouth with rage and anger, then you must think Obama is a perfect creation with no flaws, and we all meet daily to bow down at his feet. There seems to be no middle ground with these people. To them, you either viciously hate the man and think he is the spawn of satan, or you worship him as some sort of god. Some of us are actually capable of rational, independent thought instead of buying into idiotic partisan rhetoric from either side. It is completely possible to disapprove of certain things about the president and his administration without thinking he's a Muslim, Communist, Socialist, Marxist, un-American Kenyan who's hell bent on destroying the country and needs to be impeached. Not to mention, it must be exhausting to be so angry and outraged all the time.

His failure to stop the illegal alien invasion, or should i say, his encouraging and embracing of the hundreds of thousands flowing in, with no serious attempt to enforce our laws and prevent it, will lead to a major uprising, one that will capsize his presidency.

If we were a parliamentary system, he'd already be stepping down given his utter lack of support. It is only the lunatic die-hards/far left idiots who are still desiring he stick around the full 4 years of his second term. He is an abomination that no one, not the US domestic public, the europeans, the arabs, would be upset to see him leave early. The only ones upset to see an early exit would be putin, the iranians, chinese, and every other US enemy.

During the 5.5 years i have gone from give the guy a chance, to frustration, disbelief, anger, and now outrage.

And I hate the republican party. He is an atrocity that can no longer claim to represent more than a tiny fraction of the american public.

I disagree with Biden frequently, but would take him over obama any day and twice on sunday. I am praying obama recognizes it is time to go, and pulls a nixon; stepping down with some semblance of integrity and honor left.

I doubt they are watching the news, as they walk through barren Southeastern desert, just as they have for over 30 years now. Just as they will no matter who the POTUS is in 2017, 2021, 2025...

We're popular, as our economy is far better than Central America's, and we have far too much land mass to effectively protect when folks will risk death and inhumane conditions (weather) simply for the opportunity America offers. the name of the POTUS isn't going to change that.

It's not just Obama. This has been a problem with all our presidents. No one can agree on the solution so it's just shoved aside to the next president.

I'm sure there's plenty of progressive minded people who dislike him for legitimate reasons, like myself. That in no way makes a case for the nut jobs in the tea party or ultra-right wing republicans. He still remains the least-worst option.

There is that pesky violation of Oath of Office.

Obama has cut GW Bush's deficits and national debt growth rate in 1/2.
http://www.skymachines.com/US-Nation...ental-Term.htm

Obama has slowed government spending more than any president in the last 60 years.
Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama? - Forbes

And after America attacked Iraq it caused much of the world to hate America. But the rest of the world was so happy with Obama they gave him the Nobel Peace prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 to President Barack Obama - Press Release


You said Obama does not care about the middle class, but clearly he does. When GW Bush did his tax cuts he gave the richest 20% of Americans 70% of the tax cuts, and the middle 20% of Americans making $36,000–59,000 a year got 9% of his tax cuts.
Bush Tax Cuts After 2002: June 2002 CTJ Analysis

Obama has tried to give the middle class tax cuts, but the republicans stop him.
Senate Republicans Block Middle Class Tax Cut
Obama: Republicans blocking middle-class tax cuts

You said Obama does not care about the constitution. But Obama taught at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years teaching constitutional law.
Barack Obama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And then you blame Obama for illegal immigration. But Obama has almost doubled the amount of illegal immigrants removed from America.

Is Obama a perfect president? No, but if you look at his accomplishments above clearly he is doing some good things. And with the way Obama is decreasing our deficits, debt, and spending, I say let him remain president.
