Nor does disagreeing with Obama's policies make him guilty of any impeachable offense.

Especially when you ask "Well, what makes you say that?" and the same people scream you've drunken the Kool Aid and are now "One of them" without ever disclosing why.

Even psychology 101 can tell you the rational mind has gone on holiday and there is something deeper that is the issue. Of course, for many if they disclose said issue either they will be laughed at or dismissed entirely. So, the screaming without reason continues.

I'm happy to debate and work through issues I am not pleased with (as are many of the rational), but the scary thing is people who have honest criticism and want to work to make things better don't want to be lumped with these lunatics. So it will make things interesting in debates and cooperation to the future.
You are exactly right. There a honest disagreements about policies that many, conservative, liberal, or moderate, could have with the administration. But if those things are brought up for discussion then the loonies start their chant of "See, he is a commie, facist, nazi, Kenyan...we told you so....now we will all die because you drank the kool aid and voted for him." It makes honest disagreement or discussion impossible and embarrassing.

Obama

Can it be any clearer what and who he is?

Agreed. Republicans should not be trying to make policy differences criminal or impeachable offenses. We have enough experience of Democrats doing that, we don't need to play that game too.

Tell me what REALLY is the point of this thread? If they did not impeach Bush and Cheney for allowing profiteering during the war, what possible explanation do they have for trying or even suggesting that Obama be impeached? His biggest mistake is living in the fantasy world of bilateral cooperation with the Repubs. He should just bully his agenda down their throats like the previuos administration did.

Barry no, but I can think of five, robed individuals that are good candidates.

Simple. I wanted to see how many people thought that Obama should be impeached, and hear their reasons why.

I don't agree with them at all, but about 1/3 of the voters think he should be impeached. I don't think any of them have given a legitimate reason for it, however. They're just angry that he's President.

Add Moderates and Independents to the list.
