      He was elected legitimately.
      
      He hasn't committed any misdemeanors or traitorous acts that we know of.
      
      He has done exactly what his predecessor did, except he kicked into overdrive.
      
      And no, he isn't doing a good job, but he can't be impeached for incompetency.
      
      Thats too bad.

         Exactly. We are mature adults here, we do not need to cry for impeachment when we disagree with the President's policies. Just as there was no ground for the cries that Bush should be impeached, there is no ground for those cries with Obama.

            HHHMMM...I don't believe we have a real president that is concerned for the American Public...only someone that has puppet strings to the real power: secret money control. I believe that has been the case, on the average, since the early 1800's- (Some Presidents more then others)...maybe even beyond that. However, I do feel like the earlier Presidents back before the early-1800's had their hands full assembling and defining a nation. All this has been a planned subverted effort over the period of several centuries...Bringing me to the conclusion that "they" are more interested (as a set "long-term" goal) in seeing our country fall in line to a New World Order, then they are in the American Public.

   he is upheld, (allowed to act), under Presidential powers, but he has in fact crossed the line of the Presidential Powers act several times. I believe some of the actions could be considerd as Impeachable, as did Bill Clinton's act's in his last term, and I do not mean the Lewinski affair!
   
   Those acts, I believe, would have to be deemed deliberate however and I believe Obama has a means to prove they were necessary at the time.
   
   Do not sell Obama short, I am no fan but, he is skilled as a professor of Constitutional Law from Columbia, and he calculates his moves well.
   
   But, yes he has steped over the line of his powers.

   I agree with Jim, while Obama is the most incompetent President since Carter, incompetency is not a high crime.
   
   For the record, Obama has done an admirable job of doing exactly as he promised in his campaign, trying to "fundamentally transform this nation".
   
   And for the record, the only one calling for Obama's impeachment is moonbat Dennis Kucinich....a Democrat.

                           You demonstrate your ignorance so eloquently, LMC.  Most conservatives were very disappointed with many of Bush 43's policies.  Port security, Harriet Miers, government spending, immigration, the list goes on.

                                 If I may, I think it was because Bush was securing oil money for those, said Republicans. Who would want to impeach someone who has provided money? I don't think many... Although, there may have been many Democrats that did suggest a Bush impeachment.
                                 
                                 I do not hold a high appreciation for the Bush family and I am glad that they are out of office. Well, I mean, Jeb could still run but... I don't think it will happen.
                                 
                                 One person suggesting an impeachment is minimal. Actually going through and filing a report is another thing. Which brings me back to Obama...

                                       I don't have many problems with Obama. I like that he is president. I was merely asking the question of should he be impeached.
                                       
                                       The question could be viewed many different ways, from a person who does not want him impeached, or from a person who does want him impeached. I was writing it from a neutral standpoint. However, I personally do not think it would look good for the United States as a nation if Obama was impeached.
                                       
                                       There are those who will say that because of his actions he should be impeached. Maybe I am not as learned as these people. I fail to see their reasoning, (also another reason why I posted this forum).

               Actually, he's not conservative enough. We should stop all the wasteful spending that goes to corporate welfare.
               Biggest waste of money in the world.
               It's called tax expenditures...I learned it on O'Donnell's show last night.
               And, the amount of loop-holes and give-aways to corporate America and the military would make your head spin.

                        Um, it's a foregone conclusion that when you hold public office, particularly the highest one in the land, then you forfeit a considerable amount of privacy.  So if you insist on bitching about it, then perhaps he should have thought it through a little more.  I'm hard pressed to see how such an obserevation is "scraping the bottom".

          No, but that is who I mean when I say all you people. More specifically, the rabid right wing.
          
          And, my point was, when they were in charge, Bush could do no wrong. It was USA USA USA no matter what.
          
          Now, they say we have a president who actually hates America and is anti-American!!!
          
          All of a sudden, the USA USA USA rah rah crowd is no more.
          No accolades for the war.
          No giving the president props for keeping us safe.
          Things that were deemed traitorous when their side was in charge, are now suddenly patriotic.

       The UN is not a foreign state, therefore it would be a loophole. It does not have a fixed country in which it resides and is a union of states. Being chairman of the security council is not a crime, in fact it makes him look more involved with the United States' security, (which is a good thing, the last time I checked).
       
       The president does not need approval from Congress to move and deploy troops, it only makes the move look better. It is actually one of the presidential powers that control of the military resides with the president.
       
       Here is a link that may help understand what powers reside with any president of the United States:
       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_of_ … ted_States
       
       Under the section 'Constraints of Presidential power' it mentions the power to order and direct troops. And yes, I am willing to also say that the section mentions that it is up for debate how much power the president has over the military without Congressional approval.

                Well, you present an interesting dilemma.
                Balloons AND free cookies you say?
                The Democrats are good at giving things away free.
                Cookies are probably not on the list anymore (you know, Michelle Obama's healthy foods will save America from obesity campaign). But if you want free services the Ds are your party.
                Balloons are full of hot air, and so are Republicans.
                
                The Tea Party is a splinter group of extreme Republicans. They are all about limiting the size of government, slashing the deficit by any means necessary (except taxes on the wealthy). They go around shouting about upholding the Constitution -- everything is measured against what the founding fathers envisioned for America (kind like the last 230+ years never happened).
                Their ideology is based on fundamentalist Christian values.
                Making abortion illegal and denying gay people the right to marry are two of their pet projects.
                
                I'm sure you've heard of Sarah Palin? She is a Tea Partier.
