Obamas impeachment campaign debate

[Mlerner12]

Yay or nay at the republicans trying to impeach Obama? I'll chime in if i feel my voice is needed.

[jonrox3]

I am curious. What are the reasons for impeachment?

[jonrox3]

That just sounded lazy, I will look it up

[Mlerner12]

I am curious. What are the reasons for impeachment?

He's kind of abused his presidential power... But then, hasn't every president in the last 70 years done so? (Yes.)

[Mlerner12]

They are wasting their time and making themselves look like idiots.
Should it be done, I feel yes
Will it actually happen?  No
Are they making themselves look bad and wasting their time?  Yes

Whatever the issue was relight before this (I can'tremember what right now) they had him pinned to a wall with it, and his approval rating was drastically falling because of it, then they changed the subject like idiots.

Why should it be done? He's done things with his power every president in the last 70 years has done, yet the republicans didn't care when it was a republican in office.

If you listen to the list, it's an impressive list.  He hasn't done as many things, but the thigs he has done are much bigger.  And you have to start chipping away at the president's power somewhere.  Why not here?

Funny that they didn't feel a need to chip at the presidents power when a republican pres was in office...

It wont be done. Only a few extremely conservative Republicans were trying to get him impeached, many believe to bolster campaign donations, but most Republicans wont touch this with a ten foot pole, because it looks unproductive and uncooperative.

[Spencer Addington]

So what are the reasons for said impeachment?

[TheRecklessPlaneswalker]

Any president not doing something somebody wanted, will always be tried as impeachment.
President is a hard job, you got the whole world watching, and you are always pissing someone off. Give the guy some slack

[jonrox3]

How can you give him slack when an act he made basically says "If you are under the age of 18 you will not be deported". I mean the drug cartels in mexico are probably booming because so many poor families will give their children up so they can go to the US but drugs are gonna come in as well, but the kids wont be deported. It is pretty bad

Calm down there pal, If you actually read and processed my comment. Which you didn't with your "jump the gun" attitude
You would understand that I don't dwindle into the political bull which people debate about,
But my main point, as a student of history, was being president is a hard job, and  how would you like the world exploiting your every mistake
And every decision you make big or small will always be an upward battle.
So I reinstate "cut him some slack" because life is hard and people like you talking crap about it doesn't solve any problems

[TheRecklessPlaneswalker]

"I don't defend the man,but I do defend the ability of the man to do a job, no other man can do"

[jonrox3]

Well, that is just my opinion on a decision he has made. I understand it is a difficult job, (this will sound really stupid) but it is my dream to become president. I am sure if I do become elected there will be some things that people will hate me for. But I just do not understand the idea behind that act.

I think their grounds for impeachment are ridiculous. I work in DC and saw these Impeach Obama protestors in front of Union Station yesterday. I asked them why they thought they could impeach Obama- they said because of his "abuse of power" in getting his people appointed during the Congressional recess. what I find hilarious about this is that Reagan did the EXACT same thing when he was president, but you don't hear any Impeach Obama people bringing THAT up! .politics. has no long term memory, clearly.

GOP sues Obama in a first of its kind lawsuit: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-house-votes-to-sue-obama-20140730-story.html

"Speaker John A. Boehner to file suit in federal court on behalf of the full body "to seek appropriate relief" for Obama's failure to enforce a provision of the Affordable Care Act that would penalize businesses that do not offer basic health insurance to their employees." So Boehner is suing Obama for not enforcing penalties, which is something that the GOP didn't want in the first place? That's as if I wanted to go to a party and you told me not to, but when I finally decided to not go to the party, you yell at me.

More from the article: "The GOP-led House has voted to repeal the law, even as it seeks to sue Obama for failing to enforce it. When he unveiled the suit, Boehner insisted it was about more than just Obama. "This isn't about Republicans and Democrats. It's about defending the Constitution that we swore an oath to uphold, and acting decisively when it may be compromised," Boehner said Wednesday."
