If he was a TV show (that wasn't MSNBC ), he (and Congress) would have been canceled by now

Does that article really say a "moderate wave" is responsible for Nancy Pelosi?


Yep, he sure is popular over there....they don't have to live with him, WE DO! If the shoe was on the other foot, I wonder how they would react then, especially France and it's stance on banning Burquas, etc....

Couldn't agree more.....isn't there a saying, "It's the economy stupid"? Oh well, look at it this way, years from now, when he is teaching back in Chicago, he can look back on his only term and ponder what might have been.....

So he has done exactly what you wanted, and you're still complaining.
Barack Obama is systematically trying to hurt America. Obama, the argument goes, is not an incompetent boob in over his head. Nor is he is not some well-meaning community organizer who has seen his plans go astray.
Barack Obama is a dishonest, manipulative liar who actually is pursuing an agenda that he hopes will take America off the international leadership stage. He wants America to fail so that the vision of Internationalist socialists can be realized. America is hated by the elite intellectuals of the world because we have been the single biggest roadblock to their plans to establish a one world governing system with them in charge.
Americans has consistently rejected socialism. Whether it is Hillarycare or Obamacare, Americans are speaking with a loud clear voice against socialism.
The left hates America because of our belief in God, our belief in rugged individualism, our belief in private property and our belief in the right to Keep and Bear Arms.
It is only through impeachment that the new Congress can send Barack Obama a clear and unambiguous message that he does not have carte blanche to run roughshod over America.

Impeachment is the political tool given by the founders to correct abuse by a President. Impeachment is often misunderstood because of confusion about what exactly constitutes an impeachable offense.
Former-President Gerald Ford, while serving in the House of Representatives, said an impeachable offense was, "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."
Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution reads: "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."
The key phrase here is "high crimes and misdemeanors," a concept in English Common Law that was well-known to our Founding Fathers but is grossly misunderstood in this day and age. "High crimes and misdemeanors" essentially means bad behavior.

Most Americans don't have a clue on what socialism is or is not.

I have no problem with someone having a belief in god. Just don't tell me what I should believe in.

Guns? I'm a hunter, and feel that 99% has no business owning a gun.

And i don't think anyone in the left has a issue with private property.
(just as many of us, are in the upper tax brackets)

Rugged. Most of the right couldn't go 3 rounds with Brittney Spears.
All talk. No brains. Lots of hot air. (both the right and Brittney)

If there was such, it would have happened already. 2 out of 3 previous presidential impeachments, were, in essence, a waste of time, and nothing more then a carnival sideshow. Without full cooporation from the other side, no one will do anything (based on former presidents Ford's** comments), as, sooner or later, the other side will be in control. (unless your dreaming of a conservative dictatorship...........you are, aren't you)


** please note: Gerald Ford was the last republican I voted for president in a primary election.

Funny how, when a republican is in office, Government know best.
But when they are not.........

So I expect to hear you sing the same song when they return.

(While Government is not a singular entity, and it is made up of people just like you and me.
It is not some beast coming out of the ocean to devour children.
It is also, not always right or wrong. Sometimes it can be both.
It's not your government, our government - every one of us, no matter what political gender we may assume)
