Now now, he was a black man long before he was elected POTUS so that's not really relevant.

Bush defended our country by sending our troops over there...to the wrong country...where there was no threat...instead of setting them up at the borders, airports, etc.
exactly how did he keep this country safe?
America has already been dismantled
Bush didnt give Obama much to work with.
Millions of Illegal Immigrants, Unemployment sky high, Huge Deficit, rediculous war on terror waged in the wrong country... Now at least we're going to the right country.
What did Bush do? Blindfold himself and pin the bomb on Iraq?
Or was he finishing daddy's war?
We may never know...he doesnt speak so well...

Bush/Cheney started an illegal occupation of a sovereign nation based upon lies and fabricated intel, which led to the death of over 3000 American soldiers and over one million Iraqis. There is a very high volume of Iraq veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and others that are permanantly disfigured or disabled. Under the previous administration, The Justice Department was corrupted due to politicization and there is still an ongoing investigation. In the name of the U.S. people were tortured when it is very clear that we are signatories to The Geneva Convention. Congressman Dennis Kucinich brought forth 35 articles of impeachment on the Senate floor concerning the crimes of Bush/Cheney administration and still no impeachment. Very odd and disconcerting when you consider the fact that Nixon was impeached for simply spying on the opposing party.

Now please tell me, on what grounds you think President Obama should be impeached?
i am not sure about impeachment but i certainly hope he is drummed out in the next election. he was a hypocrite at the UN, getting congress to fully fund our dues while the UN declares war on the US dollar, and obama hasn't done the first thing to help the average american worker, except increase the debt load, promise mandatory health insurance payments and promise a cap and trade tax on energy usage.

our dollar is dropping and our deficit is rising, with more americans losing their jobs daily. we are fighting wars on 2 fronts and obama escalated action in afghanistan without a coherent game plan (and now has to "think about it". what about the troops while he is thinking about it?)

as far as regulation of our now dysfunctional financial system, here is a good summary of some of his failures in the banking system:
President Obama, Hypocrite In Chief - The Market Ticker

here is just part of it:
A banking system that has Congress so far in its pocket that it persuaded Congress to threaten FASB in open Congressional hearings this spring if they did not change accounting standards to effectively legalize accounting fraud through "mark to make-believe." This scam that Congress shoved down everyone's throat at the behest of the banking lobby continues to this day.

A banking system that has Congress, The SEC, OTS and OCC so far in its pocket that despite over eighty examples of hard proof of falsely-inflated asset valuations and willful misfeasance by OTS and OCC in seizing insolvent banks before they result in FDIC loss the willful blindness continues to this day, causing the FDIC to teeter on the edge of running out of cash and begging the obvious question: Are all the large banks as far beyond insolvent as these regional and local banks have been proved to be once seized?

A blatantly-corrupt OTS (banking regulatory body) that was caught conspiring with IndyMac to "backdate" deposits so as to falsely present a better financial picture than really existed at the time. The person at OTS involved had previously been caught doing the same thing during the S&L crisis BUT WAS NOT FIRED AND BARRED FROM FUTURE BANKING REGULATORY WORK! Nobody has been indicted in connection with this outrageous "in your face" fraud. Worse, the OIG's office said there were other examples - but refused to name them; are those institutions still operating?

A Federal Reserve that has openly threatened Congress with the destruction of the economy and the dollar, under oath, in open Congressional Hearings, should Congress pass and enforce an audit of The Fed's activities, and yet The Fed continues to enjoy authorization to run monetary policy.

A Federal Reserve Chair who denied under oath that The Fed would monetize the nation's debt - while it had and was doing exactly that. Isn't that the definition of perjury?

To be quite honest, I revel in the fact that we have a President that has a command of the English language and does not struggle with simple grammar. Not this "We're gonna fight em there while he's picking his nose and scratching his ass attitude"
Cause if we don't fight em there, they're all gonna jump into the Atlantic Ocean and swim several thousand miles to take down the local Waffle House.

The neocons remind me of a frustrated child who, when they can't get their own way, scream and hold their breath. Then they call names, spread lies, and rile up the uneducated base to a fever pitch. They don't know or care what will happen as a result. All they know is that they thought the U.S.A. was their own private toy and they are very angry that it isn't all theirs anymore.

more correct IMHO to say our sense of honor was better defended.
invading bagdad and blowing stuff up made us feel good.
if we invaded palistine iran and north korea hard right you be very happy right now.
but i am unwilling to purchase your happiness at such a cost, you will have to settle for 1 million dead iraqi's which btw did not blow up NYC.
the man that did --is alive and well in pakistan laughing at you still.
