Naional Review’s Andrew McCarthy says that deserves to be impeached for the fraud he committed while selling Obamacare.
Barack Obama is guilty of fraud — serial fraud — that is orders of magnitude more serious than frauds the Justice Department routinely prosecutes, and that courts punish harshly. The victims will be out billions of dollars, quite apart from other anxiety and disruption that will befall them.
…The president will not be prosecuted, of course, but that is immaterial. As discussed here before, the remedy for profound presidential corruption is political, not legal. It is impeachment and removal. “High crimes and misdemeanors” — the Constitution’s predicate for impeachment — need not be indictable offenses under the criminal code. “They relate chiefly,” Hamilton explained in Federalist No. 65, “to injuries done immediately to the society itself.” They involve scandalous breaches of the public trust by officials in whom solemn fiduciary duties are reposed — like a president who looks Americans in the eye and declares, repeatedly, that they can keep their health insurance plans . . . even as he studiously orchestrates the regulatory termination of those plans; even as he shifts blame to the insurance companies for his malfeasance — just as he shifted blame to a hapless video producer for his shocking dereliction of duty during the Benghazi massacre.
It is highly unlikely that Barack Obama will ever be impeached. It is certain that he will never again be trusted. Republicans and sensible Democrats take heed: The nation may not have the stomach to remove a charlatan, but the nation knows he is a charlatan. The American people will not think twice about taking out their frustration and mounting anger on those who collaborate in his schemes.

Nothing will happen because someone will scream "racism"...the first part black president...do people realize that very often the race of the person is determined by the race of the mother? Too much damage has been done to the country in the name of political correctness...he needs to go NOW.
(Red Alert Politics) Obamacare is going to be an asset for Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections, according to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).
The Florida Democrat appeared on CNN‘s State of the Union on Sunday, where host Candy Crowley questioned the Congresswoman about how the Affordable Care Act influenced the gubernatorial election in Virginia.
“I think, actually Candy, that Democratic candidates will be able to run on Obamacare as an advantage, leading into the 2014 election,” she closed.
If we impeach Obama the worst will happen, Biden will be president~!
Don't impeach; deport Barry Soetoro.

But when Dick Cheney and George Bush lied to the world about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, with the result that thousands were killed or maimed and billions of dollars went down a rat hole, that was OK. Right?
Queensgirl52:
Not that facts are important to you, but it has been shown that the WMD were moved and that the decisions to support Iraq were based on solid intelligence. Our current foreign president, on the other hand, is a bold face liar and the facts support this.
He needs to be removed from office. Can we have a recall vote?

Stick to the issue.
The issue is do we impeach Presidents that lie....
Not always it seems...

For impeachment proceeding to be brought there actually needs to be an impeachable offense, ya know high crimes and misdemeanors? Good luck with anyone dumb enough to stick their neck out on that one. Jeez folks, impeachment isn't meant to be a recall, read your constitution.
I ATTEMPTED TO POST MY COMMENTS THREE TIMES, HERE'S YET ANOTHER ATTEMPT
IMPEACH THIS CLOWN...............
anonymous 10:38, stop writing in all capital letters and your comments will get published.
8:23 you are wrong
Not that facts are important to you;
wikipedia:
Bush later said that the biggest regret of his presidency was "the intelligence failure" in Iraq, while the Senate Intelligence Committee found in 2008 that his administration "misrepresented the intelligence and the threat from Iraq".
A key CIA informant in Iraq admitted that he lied about his allegations, "then watched in shock as it was used to justify the war"
