    Impeachment of a President
        One would think that the impeachment of a president is not conducive in showing him support.”Give him a chance,” people say. President Obama, to be exact, has been in office for a year now. He has done a lot of damage in that year. I have seen not one promise made come to fruition. When a president is elected, he is elected based on what he proposed during the presidential campaign. When a president is voted into office he takes an oath to serve and protect the people of the United States of America. I have seen the contrary during President Obama’s term so far.
    Before President Obama took office, while he was campaigning for the presidency, promises of transparency, excessive pork barrel spending would be stopped and spending posted online for the people of America to see. In addition, any plans of change made by his new administration would also be posted. Full transparency, said the president. Promises of ensuring the unemployment rate would not increase above 8.2% were also made.
    The president has done nothing he promised. What he has done is worsen the economy. Increase our debt. Put America in danger by bringing the terrorists into our country from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Nothing is transparent. For example; the republicans were locked out of the conference room while the senate debated over the health care bill. Another point of reference, the people of America don’t want the health care bill, yet the House still passed it. The president pushed it and the people of America ignored. The president made sure to appoint everyone into his cabinet that would agree with him weather it was wrong or right. When someone in his cabinet disagreed they were fired, Van Jones for example. Something is rotten in Denmark. The fact that we believed in him enough to vote him into office says that we trusted he would do what he said during his campaign. However, for this administration and this president’s promises have been ignored and so have the people of America. We have asked the president on several occasions “Where is the transparency?” ,“why is the unemployment rate now over 10.2%?”,” did you know in some states unemployment is at 13 % or higher?”, ”where are the shovel ready jobs?”, “Why are you passing the health care bill that we don’t want?”  Yet these questions are still left unanswered and unaddressed.
    Impeachment is like firing an employee who doesn’t follow the rules he agreed to upon their hire. By law, an employer must give an employee three verbal notices and three written notices and if the problem(s) are not corrected or rule(s) are not adhered to, the employee is then fired. Why does the president not get treated the same way? He does work for the people of the United States of America and we do pay his salary. Just as if he were an employee of the U.S.A
    I still see no recompense for what the president promised upon taking the presidency seat, nor do I see action being taken against him for all the deception. As a result of how President Obama is running the country he is causing our economy to fall into hyperinflation. We are in debt to other countries now, a debt we are unable to pay back. This will inevitably cause World War III; which will be a nuclear war. Yet no measures have been taken to impeach our president. He doesn’t listen to reason, he doesn’t answer our questions. I believe, the only way he will listen to the people in which voted for him, is to form a petition to impeach the president. Maybe then our questions will be answered and the president will sit up and take notice

      Welcome to HubPages!
      You're among friends here. A lot of us here have the same grasp of the facts that you have. Before I go any further...I dont think any of your criticism of Barack Hussein Obama has anything to do with his race or his religion. You laid out all of the Articles of Impeachment for Barack Hussein Obama very well. No here could argue your facts.  Your charges were honest, truthful, well researched and very convincing. You should send that Petition to Congress as soon as you can.  Get Dick Cheney to help you with the charges you may have overlooked. With you and Dick Cheney stating the undeniable facts about Barack Hussein Obama to Congress; I dont think there's any question as to whether he will be impeached, and removed from office. Great Job!

                Aparently I misunderstood your sarcasm. If Dick Cheney is  a liar What the H  is Obama? Or are you an Oba-ite, that makes excuses for him after he makes a mistake w/o his teliprompter?

                Or how about the many times clips have been shown last year that contradict the promises he made. Wingnuts need Bolts, to be anchored. what is your excuse. Where is your Anchoring to secure the comments of discussed toward me. It completely blows my mind that anyone no matter who or where they came from cannot admit that it is just plain not right especially the president to say he is going to do one thing and go completely the opposite direction especially during a delicate economy. My must be one of those people who are comfy cosy and have no worries or CARES about the rest of the country, because hey your ok right?

      Just remember..Obama is not the only one making ALL the decisions...there were problems existing before he took office. Most of all,his political views are shattered because certain people disagree with it and make it impossible for his visions to become effective.  How can one man fix all the problems we had before he became president?(Why didn't that president fix it?) Why is the previous president not the blame for current economical problems that transferred over to Obama?  How can 1 man fix all the problems if there are various opinions and beliefs contrary to his? Do you really believe that one man is the cause of all the problems we are having as a nation? First of all, we shouldn't have been in the war we are currently in.It was not our war to begin with.  Our previous presidents were more worried about fighting other people's wars and forgot about our economic situation. So why should Obama be impeached? If we were to impeach Obama, then the next president would have the same situations to deal with and he/she would have to go through the same scrutiny as Obama. Impeachment of Obama is irrelevant!

      I think it would be a great exercise.  A chance to prove all the opinions that are being circulated would be a great thing for the country to see. A tremendous amount of energy and expense would have to be employed and the time would greatly encumber congress but what else do they have to do.

      The only problem is the result would be that nothing would happen other than exposing the right wings agenda and that is already quite evident. The inuendo would be priceless from the birther conspiracy to the socialist agenda.  The real religion of the president from his muslim roots to his racist christian beliefs nurtured by Jeremiah White.  What a dog and pony show it would be.  Great evening news fodder and countless lawsuits would ensue.

      This is the most ridiculous one-sided argument I have ever seen in my life. If I were you, I would be ashamed to have my name next to it. What did you think that this President or any president would come into office, wave a magic wand and all that ails the world would be good again? Whether you agree with his politics or not, what he is trying to do is fix a broken system that is breaking America and bankrupting families all across this country. By the way, last I checked, nothing has been signed yet. Guantanamo bay was a black mark to the rest of the world based on some of the anti-American tactics we employed there and closing it was a good idea. Should there have been a better plan as to how to do it? Sure, maybe, but I don't get paid to make that decision, nor do I have all the facts that the President and his people have. The economy?! Really, do I really have to explain to you how the economy works? We ALL knew that things were going to get worse before they got better. Every expert expected that we wouldn't see a serious turnaround until mid-to-late 2010, it takes time, and he's only been in a year!! It must be real nice to sit in your little box and complain about someone that is trying to do something to help this country, while you yourself do nothing - but talk with blinders on.

      Let me get this straight.......You want to impeach him so he will then take notice and straighten up?


      Hmppph.   I simply want him impeached so that he'll resign or be ousted, period.
      I've been calling for that ever since he took office, because he spouted his agenda to "fundamentally change" America into something radically WRONG.    And the fools in Congress are letting him get by with it.

      In my opinion, it's too late for Obama to change his positions toward doing the right thing for America.   He needs to step down.   All the Tea Parties and the other voices of reason have been ignored by him.    Time for him to be FIRED.  Let him then go home to Chicago, back to his gangster lifestyle.   Oops I mean his OLD gangster lifestyle,  not his new White House gangsterism.

Obama is trying, putting things in place and with time, you will feel the impact. Dont set the bar too high for him ok. He didn't make the economy the mess it is today(get me wrong if you like). The last line is, many will not do better in this condition. Just get over it

        There are several president's that should have been impeached and have not and I understand the process now better than when i posted this Topic , how to impeach, the cost to impeach and the ground's of which impeahment is implemented.

        Im simply upset that here again another president who didn't do what he said he would do during his campaigning. Obama was voted in because he was real good at taking the vulnerablities of the people and using it to his benefit to make promises he had no intention of keeping. He had his own agenda that he didn't let anyone know about. Big Government, if the people knew his agenda, he would not have been voted in office although he only won by 5 votes.The last president that tried Big Government failed and Obama is trying it again, why will it work now and it didn't work in prior administrations? You know what, This is what happens when the people of america don't have work, and are angry because they might loose everything they worked all their lives for. You will  have, such as Hubpages and the like, many rantings on the president's progress or lack there of . Nothing personal  just a bunch of angry americans.

              Yes, it is. Bolton is one of the neocons who supported our foolish, unnecessary, costly invasion of Iraq. Lately he's been advocating bombing of Iran by U.S. or Israel. He went a long way toward destroying respect for the U.S. around the world when he was ambassador to the United Nations, as one of Bush's many incompetent appointees. Chew on that mangey little opinionated doggie.

      The promises of transparency LOL any one thinks that America society can be
      transparent is living in story book land.
      These terrorist were trained by America and some were trained in America they were not trained in Cuba. This is the chickens coming home to roost, the Obamas will need than two terms to clear up Bush's mess. What it would take is four terms, I only hope Michelle will step forward, Michelle Obama the first woman President and a BLACK one at that.

      Obama is a tool just like every other president since the inception of the Federal Reserve...and in some aspects, many before even that.
      I am sure he was sincere about his campaign promises...there just weren't enough others willing to change their ways that would support him in doing the big things that needed to be done to oust the elitists that run the world economy/governments...so he was bought out like all the rest...enticed by money, pride, and popularity...it's disgusting.
      Patriots rising to honor the Constitution are our only hope to save the sanctity of our 4 sacred freedoms.

      there is an other method, called "quo warranto" that can be used to remove him. You see, he has the majority in the House and Senate. The Democrats won't impeach him. "Quo warranto" means "by whose authority" do you sit in office? He was never eligible for office. he even stated on his website, fightthesmears that he was born a British subject.
      So this is how he will be removed, and, BTW, none of the sllly laws  that he signed will be legal. In fact, his name will b we completely erased as ever having been a President, because he is a "Usurper".

      Wow! I see you made your point. I hear your complaints and dismay with the current president, but am uncertain of what else could be done to make the immediate situation any better. Let's be honest he has not been in office for a year as yet so i think this conversation is a bit premature! I think he mentioned that Afgahnistan is the war to fight- he appears to be taking that up. I see that healthcare has advanced this year that any previous times; I see the stock market not declining as rapidly as a year ago- mark it, the unemployment figure is high but generally in a recession it is the last thing to show real changes. The reality is that changes require patience-the problems this country is facing have been decades in the making.Furthermore, the President may not have that much power because after all he still needs to depend on congress to enact laws- am certain you do know how the process works, right? Some pressure should be placed on Congress to do more work...

      I think President Bush was given two terms- i am not certain i heard too much conversation about impeaching him. This President was handed the whole mess-a collapsed economy; unemployment on the rise; the disparity between rich and poor; social inequality etc. It does take time and he cannot correct decades of mess in less than a year. There is an election in 2012- if you feel like nothing has changed and things have gotten worse you know what to do! I do not agree with everything this President does, but i think credit should be given where it is due. After all, he did sign that equal pay act; a new legislation that make certain crimes against gay crimal; the economy actually grew 2% recently; unemployment reduced slightly; stock market has stabilized; etc. Now, what exactly could be done to improve the conditions without actual spending? I am almost 100% certain that tax cuts will not cover things like- the military; hurricanes- for natural disasters; things that majority of the public actually rely on the government for. Why not ask the opposition party what's their plan for the future? What would they do differently? What exactly has this President done that is outrageous and warrants an impeachment after being sworn in office i believe on January 20th? Why is it that this President is expected to have fulfilled all the promises made in a campaign- wasn't he elected for like 4 years?

      The troubles of a country whether it be social, economical, political or otherwise is hardly ever made in a day, month or year- usually decades! The problems are only now visible so time and patience are critical. People have power- that is, voice their concerns and vote- no change or improvement then you elect someone whom you think will fulfill your expectations faster...

              Actually, that wasn't used to 'make [Jewels] feel better about Obama'.  I'm pretty sure most of us realize that he isn't doing as terrible of a job as most conservatives believe he is.  He's simply dealing with a shattered wartime economy created by... BUSH.

              In this case, though I think it was more to make a point.

When Obama took office, he inherited the strongest economy in the world. The housing market was also booming and the banks were in its healthiest state.

              It's more in response to how people can't understand the amount of work it would take to undo the mess the USA is in.  Obama, or any government for that matter, is expected to fix the mess in 5 minutes.  That's what I find ridiculous.  We the people of America seem to have lost some sense of perspective on how hard it is going to be to save America.  Impeachment?  Bush is who needed to be impeached over Haliburton.  Conflicts of interest within a government administration are cause for dismissal.  Disturbing.

          I am simply stating the mans full name , i am not racist in any way. I am simply stating that his actions would lead one to believe that he has some muslim beliefs that don't interact well w/ what this country was founded. Freedom. Everytime, anyone talks ill of the president they play the race card, because it is easy, instead of accepting that he is screwing up the country worse than it already was. He proposed many things that would have improved our economy, but none of those promises were kept, that has nothing to w/ race , creed or color , it has to do w/ his own personal agenda. he is the only one w/ that knowledge God Bless this Country , and keep us safe from this president. He is intentionally ruining our country.

            Well Islam is not a race, but I get the general idea. And overall it is true that saying any criticism of Obama is racism is just silly. And dangerous: it is essential to criticize the president, as I said above (be nice if the media did a bit more of it with Bush -- probably the US media is being too soft on Obama too now - perhaps the news media is just too soft in general: you should see the BBC attack dogs going for it, by contrast.)

            It is also true that a president's religion may influence him. Bush wouldn't go for stem cell research; perhaps that is an infringement of people's liberties who could benefit from the stem cell research. Obama seems to have been a Christian (I mean, he went/goes to church; I don't know too many Muslims who do that...). So it is relevant what a president's religion is, and it could lead to infringement of freedoms, it's true.

            However, I am completely mystified about this suggestion that your freedoms are at risk under Obama. I mean, maybe he's making a pig's ear of the economy, maybe he's not (I certainly don't see much new regulation of the SOBS on Wall St. who messed it up, for example). But taking away freedoms? Don't get you, I am afraid

          Just slightly curious:  How many times did George W. Bush get called dubya?  Isn't that a bit condescending and to imply he was a hick? 

          Obama is or is not Muslim.  Does not matter.  What does matter is that he is not what I perceived him to be.  No, I did not vote for him, but I knew in October of last year that he was going to be elected.  It was obvious.  Even when my 5 year old kindergarten grandson voted in school, he voted for Obama.  "Why?" I asked him.  His reply was that he knew who he was. 

          I do believe that he was elected because people knew who he was and not for his promises.  However, in good faith, I thought to give him a chance.  Every time I hear about problems it is finger pointing.  Every time I hear about transparency it seems to be giving us transparent info of the old administration, and I believe our author is right.  He is OUR employee.  We should know what he is doing when it comes to our money, and every dime in the government till is your money and mine (and China's).  I have the right to decide how my money is being spent.  Don't you agree?  Would you let your bank take thousands of dollars out of your bank account and go buy a house for some poor people who are illegal imigrants and tell you it's your duty and the imigrants' right?  Do you not agree that there has to be better checks and balances?

          I just want something done that is popular, like stuffing this healthcare reform bill down the basin and really do reform, something we can all agree on.  Heck, there's facebook and twitter, they can ask us for ideas.  We have them.  Then they get some clerk to tally up all the ideas and the 10 best and most popular become the bill.

          I see Islam as something similar to the old Catholic church. Most Muslims are well meaning, and the big guys in control often feed them lies. This does not change the fact that the Koran teaches violence that is quite unacceptable. Muslims in middle eastern countries are very family oriented people and many missionaries say they feel safer in places like Jordan and Israel than the USA. There are of course always exceptions within the nations. Islam the religion, I am strongly against, the people, not at all. As we are talking about Obama. There is more and more evidence that he is Muslim. The part that bothers me is not that he is a Muslim, but that he concealed it and said he was a Christian during his campain(He didn't even go to a nice church lol).

    You can't go impeaching the president after just one year, and for doing a generally bad job: they all do a bad job, frankly; who ever heard of a president who didn't screw up -- has never happened.

    Of course, sometimes a president accumulates, over eight years, such an immensely gigantic mess of a legacy that perhaps he reaches the watermark whereby impeachment really seems sensible as an option... can't think of any presidents like that in recent memory of course ;-)

      hahaha...I'm not a lover of either party, but the whole "It's only bad 'cause the last guy" thing really has played itself out LOL

      It's like when you call a plumber to come fix your pipes, and no matter who you get they all say the same thing.."I don't know who worked on this last, but they didn't know what the hell they were doing."

      LOL

      Part of becoming president is accepting the responsability for whatever state the country is in...that's why you're running.

      Blaming the last guy is redundant simply becuase they complained about the last guy all through thier campaign, so it's not like they didn't know what they were getting into.

      Anyway, it was the last presidents fault, he inherited the problems from the previous, and so on...I say we blame who is really at fault here...

      Washington, you jerk!

      Now I have to get back to building Robo-pres 5000 so he will be ready for unveiling at the next elections.

      Just in time for me to take over the ... I mean in time for us to vote for a good president.

          As i clarified below approx 13 minutes ago. Big Government means we work for them they don't work for us. I don't want to have the freedoms our forefathers fought for taken away from us, pres. Obama has proven that he cares ZERO what we think about what he does. That is not what he claimed while campaigning , I understand president and lawyers lie, But the economy is so delicate and he his putting us in more debt w/ other countries that we cannot pay  back, the only way he can pay it back is to make the people of america pay higher taxes.

          That is why i say he is ruining our country rather than fixing the problem and eventually our freedoms will be taken away, because we will be doing as the government says, paying what the government says, getting paid what the government says, on and on and on.

              Facts are facts. Millions of people have lost their job this year. His policies are flawed, because they rest in ideology rather than pragmatism. Solving our problems does not require one to socialize by taking over businesses, borrowing huge amounts of money and attempting to take over health care. These are facts and his party affiliation means nothing, his ideology is scary, scarier yet is his blind determination to push it ahead.

                  I disagree. Obama is screwing up the free market. To stimulate the economy, you create a free market, not a government controlled market. With the historical stimulus, he could have given tax cuts to individuals and small businesses to generate more jobs. Instead, he invested the money in losing companies.

                Facts are facts but distorted facts are not. Millions have lost their jobs during this AND in the previous administration. Why did we have a financial collapse? Oh yea, that’s right… because of the anti-regulation policies of the previous administration. How quickly (and conveniently) we forget.

                Obama’s policies are imperfect and therefore flawed but every administration’s policies are imperfect. So what is your point? Do you really think the previous administration’s policies were based any LESS on ideology? Doesn’t your whole argument amount to opening up a big ol’ can of ‘waaaaaaah’ for all it’s worth in correcting the course we’re on?

                I’ll give you a couple of REAL facts: both Regan and Dubyah borrowed huge amounts of money. To quote then Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Lloyd Benson, “You let me write couple billion dollars worth of bad checks and I can create the illusion of prosperity too.”

                Attempting to take over health care? What a bunch of hogwash. Do you really believe those nice health insurance executives have the American people’s best interests in mind? Wake up and smell the coffee. American manufacturers will be better able to compete with foreign companies when we level the playing field on per-unit health care costs. If you believe the insurance giants don’t already operate what amounts to ‘death panels’ then you’re one of the lucky minority who never had a close friend or family member who was denied coverage for a major illness.

                Regardless of the health of Australian's, including our native friends, the health care system itself far outshines the one in your country and this is what I was referring to.

            I have come to the conclusion that a number of Americans have become complacent. They are more than willing to let the government provide for their needs even if that means turning over their paychecks to pay for it. It frees them from the worry of having to compete. Let's face it, wouldn't we all like to stay children forever, living home with Mom and Dad. Yes, these people have become the Democrat party, a group that wishes to convert America into a socialistic society ruled by a benevolent government that knows what's best for us all. It is not the enemy without that freedom loving people need to be concerned about, it is the enemies from within!

Said that is what the bail outs would entail, I have seen the contrary. Children that live w/ Mom and Dad do venture on into their own life willingly to gain the freedoms in which we all enjoy, everynow and again it is nice for the kids to come home for some nuturing, but not to live. The enemy within, mmmm well, your right everyone has one, it is our decision how to live w/ those enemies and conduct ourselves accordingly, people do what they need to do based on any given situation and that includes what is going on in the white house.

Big Government, which is what This administration wants, means control over the people, the media etc. that means socialism, nor more self employement, you do what the government says you do.

                And this is the point. Clinton was a mixed bag of tricks, so was Bush (though frankly Bush did things to make the jaw drop), Obama will doubtless also be a mix, but you have a system of checks and balances, and elections, in effect, every two years, plus you have states that counter-balance the federal system. I mean, stop worrying, for God's sake.

And of course teachers, doctors, etc., are not normally fired after a year of incompetence (come to think of it, I can think of tons of examples of this).

I did not start complaining, i started w/ a possible solution and we don't have to start that rebuttal again, i understand it is way to expensive. All I do know is We are self employed probably going to loose our home due to unemployment, and bad economy just like Millions of others and nothing is being done about it , What is being done is massive spending on things we don't need. I do believe starting over as if you were 18 years old when you are almost 50 is grounds to get a little emotional don't you think? But I did get a job and am living paycheck to paycheck, don't know when i am going to loose my house, but i still hold my head high and have a smile on my face and thank GOD for what i do have. I just am afraid one day, if the BS continues people such as myself won't be able to walk around w/ a smile on their face and be thankful anymore because Big Government will take that away.

    I think Obama has earned an impeachment (more so than he earned a Nobel), but if the Congress would not remove a perjured Clinton, they won't remove an incompetent Obama. So, I don't think that discussions about "impeaching Obama" have any real practical value.

    Efforts need to go toward raising money to expose corrupt organizations that support Obama's efforts (like ACORN). Also, emphasis needs to be given to what is going to happen to the economy as Obama dumps America's future into the black hole of government growth. In addition, the most articulate spokespeople that are challenging Obama's agenda need to be given attention and resources.

    This will likely get Obama's party turned out of office in 2010.

      Yes that Nobel thing was weird, it's true. But what I don't get about anti-Obama-ists is that, even though doubtless much of the criticism is right, Republicans do exactly the same things.

      I mean, is anyone going to tell me that government SHRANK under Bush? Reagan was in power for eight years, followed by Bush Senior. How come the government wasn't the size of a minnow after that? Was it? No, of oourse not; it was a giant bureaucratic monster, as usual.

      And as for corrupt fundraising, and so on, doubtless Obama was into that -- every president you've ever had has been into it, I'm sure; but to suggest Republican candidates are *less* corrupt: it's all very silly to me.

    Okay people. This thread is completely way out of line. It is completely 100% ridiculous to think about impeaching a President this early into his administration. Yes, some things are not working as described to the pubic, but DO REALIZE the president can issue an order- it's morons below him who are NOT doing their job.

    You can not layoff everything this Country has done in the past 200+ years worth of damage, on him. It's unfair and I'll have words with anyone who does dare try.

    You- each one of YOU- are responsible for the mess in this damn Country- we call America. Damn it- understand it's not right that business strangles Congress, because business has too much pull. There are way too many businesses making things worse for people than there are making it better.

    WAKE UP! This is morning news ladies and gentlemen. Get your sh&t straight and OPEN YOUR EYES and look at the atrocities committed in this damn country and stop looking for a place to lay the BLAME- if wasn't for your religion- YOU would not be placing blame on others for your own incompetance. It's the CITIZENS who have the power in this Country and it's the CITIZENS who should take it back.

    BUT- before than can be done- you have to stop looking at from the wrong perspective or perceived notions that you think that you know what's wrong?

    Well, guess again- YOU DON'T!

    If you are not a business owner, then you can not see the WHOLE STORY, which means you're missing knowledge. If you don't know something, it hurts you. If you lack a certain knowledge, then that hurts your life too.

    Get over yourself for once. Become a better human being yourself, before you DECIDE to JUDGE others.

    It's pathetic what America has come to. Equality is a myth. It's simply an appearance of politics. It's a joke. The problem is that the citizens continue to take the garbage, and every election they elect another fool.

    It is your DUTY as a citizen to BELIEVE in your candidate. NOT to take the lessor of two evils. If YOU are going to give up MY RIGHTS as a Citizen, I am going to have words with you. Because, YOU don't decide what happens in my life. I DO!

    United Citizens for a cause is the threat that can oppose Government- So, are you going to be selfish and look at things your way and continue complaining OR Are you finally going to CHANGE your attitude?

    I leave it to you to figure out.

      I mean, this bailout business. Good grief! And Iraq? How could that have happened. Even if Saddam had weapons of mass destruction how the hell were they supposed to reach you, and why would he pick on a country with thousands of nuclear weapons to fight a war with?????

      Come on, in the history of the world, the thirty-odd countries that have Western democratic systems are far and away the most privileged people ever to have lived: squandering that is a disgrace, frankly.

We have security in this country, beyond Constitutional accord and severely needs to be cut back.

                    It's not a matter of a lack of knowledge, whether superior or not, isn't the case. Open your eyes and look around, maybe do a little investigation into the things happening and WHY they happen.

                    It's not that I have a superior knowledge, per se, as you see it, because you love to debate or bait others by making ridiculous irrelevant statements, without offering any form of solution.

                    I'm not claim any superior knowledge, as you claim. I am however, trying to get people to understand that there is more to it than it appears. I thought that was obvious.

    the problems i see in this mind set of what has the president done for the people, is simply this its been 1 year, you cant fix the economic debacle within one year. If you wish to fix the problem look at big corporations and not to the president. Tell your congressman about the problems you see get active and do something about it. The reason we face such a high unemployment rate is because these companys who received bail out continued to send jobs over seas.

      I agree that is part of the problem, yet the government currently is spending money they don't have on pork barrell spending bank bailouts, when banks don't loan any one any money and no jobs have been created as of yet. Im simply upset that the people again believed in a president that said yet again they were going to fix the problems and have yet to so but make things worse.

        Do you think the spending of unsecured funds is new. Inflation has caught up to the amounts.  The Fed has been printing monopoly money for years and has done more than any institution to hurt the economy than anything in recent history.  Why do you think they can lend money at 0% interest?  Because the money is valueless.  You have to look beyond Obama because a president can effect far less change then you give him credit for.  Besides you have to account for the slime bags on the hill when calculating a measure of change.

        To this statement i do say his stimulous did create jobs and infact i worked a job created by the package for the whole summer a so called shovel ready job. I was payed well for the work performed and considered it a worthwhile venture. As for the presidents lack of judgement the only thing i have to say to that is that he is doing what he thinks is best for the country within what he knows how to do, its not unlike so many presidents before him, The bush's for example father and son spent billions of dollars on wars that did nothing more than george junior cleaning up the mess his father made when he tried to oust the man we put into power in iraq. Look at nixon, look at clinton who allowed for companys to get a tax differemnt to send bussiness over seas. We as a people have become negligent to the abuse of power within the united states and only untill recently have we started to do something about it and blame one person mainly the president for the illgotten gains and loss' when the majority of the problem is the congressman allowing these things to happen our elected officials we have put into power who are lobbyists and are in someones pocket. I understand peoples concerns im concerned to but does our concern fall on deaf ears, I would have to say yes. You know if we all rose up together and said f this they would have to listen its our right as citizens.

    Interestingly, this President is doing almost exactly what he said he would do during his campaign. Transform. It is why I did not vote for him, I heard what he was saying. If you were too blinded by the rock star image and tired old liberal mantra of Change to ignore exactly what the man was telling you he would do and what those of us that are part of the conservative persuasion were telling you, who is to blame?

      yeah is sure is changing for the worse. He has not fullfilled his promise on making sure unemployement rate didn't  increase higher than 8.2% alot of his votes came from that promise. We were already in a recession especially after 9/11.
      He said he would stop the spending , he didn't, so really I don't know exactly what promise your talking about. He said Change not Transform. He said no tax increases, he also said he would create jobs. Now he is talking about redistributing the wealth of people who actually make an effort to work to the people who don't. Ths Rock Star didn't get me, I never liked his ideals nor did i vote for the man, I hoped when elected he was going to do some of the things he stated listed above, but he didn't , He is a meglomaniac looking for complete control. I don't think most americans want him to have it either.

        Actually he did say, "Transform". He used the liberal catch word "change" at the beginning of the campaign as "code" for the fundamental transformation of America. The word “transform was inserted into his speeches in the later portion of the campaign. See the below link.

                I think you missed the point.  He will be given the four years allotted to implement his policies.  If he doesn't make a change that is worthwhile then he should be thrown out.  I say should be as this is not always the result in a democracy. If he doesn't I will probably vote him out if there is something better to vote for at that time.

                I know you hate to hear it but the past 8 years have set this thing up to be what it is whether or not it was directly Bushs fault and it will take some time to turn it around if it is to happen.

                I've never stalked anyone and I'm not one to use an alias to state my opinions.  It just seems funny for someone to be so opinionated about truth but choose to use an alias to hide behind.  Why would anyone accept the credibility of such persons?

                  I one of those Katrina people. No, the majority of people did not blame Bush. The govenor and the mayors of the affected cities was the the problem. Note the elections that followed.....What I find repulsive is how many have used that tragedy for political gain.

                      Most of that can fall squarely on the shoulders of Blanco. Complete incompetent. Nagin behaved strangely, but was under a lot of stress. To illustrate just how much the problem was not with Bush, look at the Mississippi Gulf coast or how Texas responded after their hurricane disasters. Louisiana was NOT prepared and lacked leadership. Had Blanco been better prepared and capable, Nagin never looses his grip, the mayor of Metairie either for that matter. Nagin took the brunt of it and that wasn't fair. Mainly because New Orleans was the focus. Nagin had taken over a city that had been completely engulfed in corruption for decades! The city is populated with a disproportionate amount of very poor people. It was a tough place to be. Katrina seriously damaged Nagin's legacy. I firmly believe he was going to make a huge difference in New Orleans. Unfortunately his comments in the months following Katrina burned a lot of bridges.

      A president has the moral obligation to serve the country and work to resolve systemic problems. For a president to take opportunity of difficult times to put forth an ideology that requires all of us to risk our future as well as our childrens is beyond horrible. It is akin to the infamous "ambulance chasers" in the legal proffesion, but their self serving acts while unethical and distasteful do not require a country to surrender its future !

      We didn't impeach Clinton when he admitted to adultery, or Bush when we found out the intel and reasoning for invading Iraq was completely bogus. Why would we impeach Obama when he has not broken the law and in the 10 actual months he has been president things have not worked out like he wanted.

      Don't get me wrong I don't like Obama and think he's just another puppet, with far too little experience as a leader, but he is what the people elected so for better or worse, the people are stuck with him. That being said, overturning 25 years of mismanagement over spending and corruption will not be quick or easy. How impatient we are when it hurts us personally. This will take time and effort and unfortunately everyone is going to feel the pinch, welcome to responsibility Americans, it hurts and sometimes even sucks. We as a nation have allowed our government to ruin us with years of silent compliance. Now we are paying for it. To think that one man as the president actually wields the power to ruin this nation is naive. You want to point a finger at DC then focus on the congress and their virtual lifetime terms and unchecked corruption of taxpayer money, there's your problem and boogey man. Vote them out, all of them, and start over with proven local leaders to represent their local constituencies as it should be.

        I agree.  The way to real change is to vote the slime on the hill out and restrict the time they have through term limits.  And while we are at it let's do something and about the lobbying that is sucking the life out of our ability to govern for the people.

        Thats a BIG 10/4 . Impeaching the president is definatetly not the answer, but a petition would make him see how unhappy we are as a country w/ the excessive spending. Don't you think? He won't listen to us , maybe, just maybe a petition would make him hear us. History has proven worse protests have occured. What is wrong w/ this protest, Heck it might make a difference. Like you said we have sit back to long and now we are feeling it, why not use now as to not sit back and take it any longer and say something about it w/ a petition?

        Your right! But if the president were to put in motion the ideals he had prior to his inaugeration, perhaps things would begin to move in the proper direction , down in unemployment ratings, the debt certainly should have not increased, that is decreasing our dollar dramatically. Relying on the government more and more is not the direction we should be going. That is what is happening though, because that is what the president wants. Congress has ideas, the president agrees and signs the bills, Ulitimately it is up to the president. No matter if the congress is wrong or even right , the president has the last word.

      I'm sorry.  I've been mocking this entire post, but seriously I do not understand the hyperbole encased in this long thread.  It has been less than a year that Obama has been in office!  And I'd like everyone to know that this is NOT a partisan statement I'm about to make:  But it just sounds like a bunch of children crying. Do people actually see their elected officials as Daddy figures who are gonna fix everything?  It's pathetic.

      Yes, I lean left (though my left doesn't mean what many here think it means).  However, you would never hear me--with any president--asking for "freedom" or for him or her to "fix the economy."  This is nuts.  I don't even know where to begin, I feel it is so lacking in scope.

      You cannot blame one person (who wasn't even in office when the majority of the set up for these troubles occurred)for "the economy" going to hell or the housing bubble.  Yeah, I know a guy (a builder who works for/with my bf) who is losing everything, ie--house, all his cars, motorcycles--everything.  He had an ARM loan on the house--don't think anyone twisted his arm (lol) so to speak to sign the papers (for those who don't know, that's an adjusted rate mortgage:  a few years real cheap payments, ballooning up after a certain point).  And did he really need 5 vehicles on payment plans?  What I'm trying to say is I cannot believe the voices here who it would seem would love to advocate the loss of all personal responsibility...and that's what this entire long thread looks like to me.

      I know it's rough out there, especially in some areas of the country.  All the better now to be proactive and come up with creative solutions (and oh, yes, Virginia, they are out there...count on it), than whining and snarling and throwing tea bags.  Class of victims under socialism, heh!  We're already there--it's just more like the feudal lords took the sugar cubes out of the feeding stalls and made off with the manor's silver candelabras.  The serfs now have tooth aches and don't know what to do but stand in their cubi...stalls.

        No whining, this thread is only to state that the PRESIDENT made promises in which were not kept as a matter of fact they don't even enter into his plan, who knows what his plan is he never tells anyone anything no matter how much we ask, We do have a right to know. He was voted him in office, with the impression he was going to fix the economy. Here we are further in debt. That is not how you fix the economy.
        OK, HOW DO WE FIX IT? OR were are our ideas on  how to fix it. Oh yeah our views don't matter,  he won't listen to us, yeah those those town hall meeting, tea parties etc. is a perfect example .We are mearly American's sitting home watching the grass grow unless we are lucky enough to have found a job. Whining, at least we care enough to whine. At least we are not Judging how other's feel. We are American's Concerned out our future and our children and their children's future. Spending is way out of control. The Health Care Bill is something we cannot afford nor did we want,but they pushed it through regardless of what we said.

        What is ironic, is the people are scored on their debt to income ratio's via a credit scoring system created by governemnt and we get spanked w/ a high interest rate if our credit is short of perfect. When we try to get a loan.
        The governement however keeps borrowing and spending with out the ability to pay the debt back. However when people borrow and run into financial difficulty and are late on payments we are deemed to be irresponsable. Unfair don't you think? We can't do anything about it. Hence, my posting, impeach a president,improperly titled maybe, grammitical errors definately, unfinished sentences agreed. The fact something needs to be done still remains, because the president won't listen to us, I came up w/ an impeachement PETITION idea. Maybe we can't get him impeached unless he has dome something illegal, but he will hear us w/ a petition.  Obama is collapsing this country's abilty to survive by making the citizens rely on big government that is his big plan. You , expect American's not to whine? Funny, you must be perfectly fine during these hard times.Inherited money perhaps or have a family that is close helping each other out. Not everyone is that lucky, some of us ARE the family that helps out their children and have no one to rely on but themselves and built what they have and now are loosing everything. Stop whining ?Sad, the fact we have to. The day people stop whining is the day people stop caring. What then?
