Why is no one yelling "Impeach Obama!"

Remember this Obama speech tidbit?

Video

But this year, Obama voted against cutting $23 billion in federal programs rated ineffective by the Office of Management and Budget.

Now anyone listen to the part Obama?s budget speech where he is going to great lengths to cut out wasteful spending and going to go page by page in his budget?

PRESIDENT OBAMA DELIVERS REMARKS ON HIS F.Y. 2010 BUDGET REQUEST

And that's why on Monday I held a fiscal summit to come up with a plan to put us on a more sustainable path. And that is why, as we develop a full budget that will come out this spring, we're going to go through our books, page by page, line by line, to eliminate waste and inefficiency.

This is a process that will take some time, but in the last 30 days alone we have already identified $2 trillion in deficit reductions that will help us cut our deficit in half by the end of my first term.

For example, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is saving nearly $20 million with reforms to modernize programs and streamline bureaucracy.

Interior Secretary Salazar will save nearly $200 million by stopping wasteful payments to clean up abandoned coal mines that just happen to have already been cleaned up.


Education Secretary Duncan is set to save tens of millions of dollars more by cutting an ineffective mentoring program for students, a program whose mission is being carried out by a hundred other programs in 13 other agencies.

We've targeted almost $50 billion in savings by cracking down on overpayments of benefits and tax loopholes. That is money going to businesses and people to which they are simply not entitled.

This is just the beginning of the cuts we're going to make. No part of my budget will be free from scrutiny or untouched by reform

I can believe that man has the unmitigated gall so say that after he signed off on a stimulus bill loaded with more unnecessary spending than any other bill in history. Then has the nerve to submit a budget in which there are some 9,000 pet projects loaded in to it and at least one is his! (Oh and since he got caught they are going to edit his name out and attribute it to someone else.)

Hell, we did not need over half of that stimulus package, nor do we need most of that gargantuan budget particularly with our current economic crisis. Any kind of responsible leader of a nation in the situation we are in would be doing everything humanly possible to cut spending to a bare minimum; he is doing the exact opposite.

He is obviously not in it for the people or the country he is really just a smooth talking two faced lobbyist ***** like Biden, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest! He with the help of the democrat controlled congress are raping America?s future and selling the proceeds to the highest bidder.


I think he needs to be impeached because of this, am I wrong?

If we don?t then at the rate he is going by the end of his first year he will have spent ( wasted) more money than any other president has spent in their entire term in office.

Obama never said he would not allow pet projects, only ones that were excessive.

At least the fucker isn't hiding what he is.

Now that you ask, in a word, YES!

In more words, try naming one (if you can count that high) thing he has done that would constitute grounds for impeachment. Don't bother replying until you can include links to statutory citations to support your assertion.

Yeah, he needs to go... in maybe eight years or so. Obama's the best thing that could have happened to this nation, especially as a counterpoint to an embarrassment to the American people and all of humanity like George W. Bush, a traitor, a murderer, a torturer, a war criminal, a liar and all around corrupt general dunce.

When he bankrupts the country and the dollar collapse then we will hear calls to impeach him. His record spending is going to kill this country. I can only hope a few democratic senators come to their senses and help the republicans filibuster the record spending.

A country smart enough to impeach this Marxist shape shifter would have been smart enough to see him for what he is - but they weren't. We are in a period like the 1930's except more dire. This will all get worse before it gets better. It would be wise to get out of the big cities if you live there.

Because no crimes have been committed, that's why. I surely don't like him or what he's doing but there is absolutely zero grounds for such calls.

Lies, deceit and manipulation are not impeachable offenses unless you're under oath. That's called politics.

Now that your thankfully EX-Traitor In Chief has been given the boot, you should take that comedy shtick on the road. I'm sure there are at least two others in this nation stupid enough to fall for your bullshit. You'll get more help when he and his criminal cabal are charged, tried and convicted of treason, murder, torture, war crimes, crimes against humanity and war profiteering.

With any luck, you can join them for their all expenses paid lifetime vacations at the beautiful downtown Guantanmo Hilton with free daily passes on the exciting waterboard ride.

You know it's not torture. They said so, themselves, and you know you believe them. :laugh:

I think Tom Delay, David Duke and Joe the Plumber have come out in favor of impeachment. Perhaps a little bit more than impeachment?

No, we are not. Not even close.

You could help clean up the environment of the city where you live by doing so. They'll probably give you a parade and a free ride to show their thanks.

In fact, you could leave the whole country, and we'd be much better off. It's even possible that, if you left the planet, you'd take so much hot air and stench with you that your single selfless act would reverse global warming. :laugh:

Time will tell, I hope for the best. If anything at least so far he seems to listen more then Bush did, Bush was always his way or the highway IMHO.

I never had that option, or I would have chosen the highway long ago. At least, the highway couldn't have committed treason, murder, torture, war crimes, crimes against humanity or war profiteering.

What would you do instead? How are we going to get out of this economic mess?

Recall the "New Deal". That was nothing but pork as well, but it helped a lot to get jobs to people who didn't have jobs previous. Plus, it built a lot of things like national parks, dams, bridges, roads, those sorts of things. Is the stimulus perfect? No, I think it should have less tax cuts and more infrastructure spending, especially with regards to green technologies. If Obama didn't bend over backwards trying to appease the republicans, which still voted lock-step against it, I think the stimulus package would have been a much more focused entity.

Bush did far more harm to the US by engaging in two wars covered completely by credit, by destroying international prestige, by placing incompetent officials at every level of the government, by undermining the regulatory systems we had in place to prevent such a collapse, by placing ideology over practicality, etc etc. Saying that Obama is failing like Bush strains the imagination and reeks of pure partisanship.
