Is Obama Impeachable?
Just what makes a president impeachable? The Constitution states very plainly that a president may be impeached for “… high crimes and misdemeanors…”. Can he be impeached for lying about the Bengazi attack? Nope. If Lying were an impeachable offense every president since at LEAST Buchannan should have been impeached. Lying is immoral, but it is not a crime. Now if that lie obstructed justice in some way that would be a crime; however I have no idea how we could prove that one unless we could come up with something in writing. We certainly can’t expect either Hilary or Holter to fill us in. They have both been caught lying to congress.
Did the President authorize the stand down o our forces when the diplomatic mission in Bengazi asked for help or did some ground commander accept Hilary’s orders.
I recently read a blog on a Tea Party site that listed 100 reasons he is impeachable. Guess what? Maybe three of those one hundred reasons are actually impeachable offenses!
How about Fast and Furious? Sorry you can’t impeach for the actions of a subordinate. Now if there is PROOF that he personally authorized that then just maybe that is a crime. But first you have to prove that the law was in fact violated and that the whole thing wasn’t a case of really bad judgment. If the goal was to put guns in the hands of known criminals, then yes that is a felony. I believe Holter did do that, but who is going to prosecute him. He is the nation’s chief prosecutor! Is there anyway to prove to the senate that Obama did in fact have prior knowledge that this crime was to be committed and either overtly or tacitly authorized it? I doubt it. Once again we know Holter isn’t afraid of congress or of blatantly lying to them. He was convicted of contempt of congress for that and just laughed it off. Again who is going to prosecute?
Spying in many ways with many of the agencies he controls on average American Citizens without due process? Impeachable and we can prove it. He has admitted it openly.
Ignoring the Constitution by consistently violating the second, fourth, fifth tenth and fourteenth amendments? Impeachable because it violates his sacred oath. Violation of a sworn oath is a misdemeanor and in this case, probably a felony.
He has disclosed secret grand jury material by exposing the existence of a sealed indictment of one of the Benghazi attackers in violation of Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that clearly states: “… no person may disclose the indictment’s existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons.’’
It is said that he has thwarted Congress by (1) failing to enforce all or parts of laws duly enacted by Congress, including the Defense of Marriage Act, the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Affordable Care Act; and (2) after Congress refused to pass his Dream Act, unilaterally issuing an executive order directing immigration officers to no longer deport an entire class of illegal immigrants who came here as children, regardless of individual circumstances, and to give them work-authorization permits. Impeachable. No President is above the law. But that one is on very shaky ground. Law enforcement agencies have use their own discretion when enforcing laws for literally centuries in this country. Otherwise you should be arrested in South Dakota for drinking a malt on Sunday or taking a drink of alcohol on Sunday in some southern states.
He has violated the Constitution when, on January 4, 2012, (1) he bypassed the U. S. Senate to appoint three members of the National Labor Relations Board, actions that were ruled unconstitutional by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit which affirmed previous decisions by the Court of Appeal for the D.C. Circuit and the Third Circuit; and (2) he bypassed the U. S. Senate to appoint Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
These last three are direct quotes from the articles of impeachment offered to the house by The Black Republicans Association. These articles are well thought out and I recommend reading all of their Articles of Impeachment at

So OK, he is indeed impeachable and the House of Representatives can do that with a clear conscience; however, once impeached by the House he must be tried by the Senate. The Senate is controlled by the democrats and led by a fervently anti-constitutionalist senior senator from Nevada known as Harry Reid. Just how far do you think that trial would go? Even as far as Slick Willy’s? Probably not.

There is no wonder why the vast majority of Americans are opposed to military action in Syria when the possible outcomes are so damaging:
1. The US military attacks with cruise missiles which does some damage, Assad stays in power, their civil war continues as it has. Why attack, no change? Except with no international support, the credibility of the US is severely damaged. Bad outcome. US forces are put in harm's way and we kill people with no strategic change in the situation in Syria.
2. The US attacks, Assad stays in power, Syria and/or Iran attacks Israel in retaliation to US attack, much larger regional conflict is ignited. Bad. We could be dragged into defending Israel from an attack which we instigated with no long-range plan of success. Or we could abandon Israel. Also very bad outcomes.
3. The US military attacks, destroys Syria's air force and air defenses, Assad falls. Rebels, including Al Qaida seize control including Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles. Bad. This scenario doesn't even guarantee the end of the conflict as Hezbollah, Al Quds, Iran, Alwites still support Al Assad and could easily continue fighting even after Assad is gone - Think Egypt, only worse. Very bad outcome. We give chemical weapons to Al Qaida.
To make matters worse, our allies have decided NOT to assist us in military intervention. The UN will not support military intervention. 81% of Americans are against intervention. Russia and China have warned us against intervention (which would make no difference to me if our national security was threatened, which it is not), Syria and Iran have promised to attack Israel if we attack Syria. Again, we have a totalitarian regime fighting against Islamic extremists groups, including Al Qaida. What's our role here?
We can, however, provide humanitarian aid to the victims and Syrian refugee civilians, support our true ally in the region, Israel and interdict Iran's supply routes into Syria in Iraq. All good outcomes.
Chemical weapons cannot be destroyed by an air attack. Delivery systems can be damaged and the chemicals themselves can be spread by the use of explosives, but not destroyed. Either Assad will retain the chemical weapons or the opposition will seize them.
How can this Administration convince us that they know everything that happened in Damascus with this chemical attack- what weapons were used, how they were delivered, who conducted the attack, and just as importantly, who did not conduct the attack, how many casualties there were, which chemical agents were used, etc with a "high confidence" ? But they still can't tell us anything about Benghazi where we apparently had dozens of CIA agents on the ground? So, we're supposed to trust their word now? How many times has this administration lied to us?
Barack's Brother is Founder of the Muslin Brotherhood.
By a Proud American
Barack has been funneling billions of dollars to the Muslin Brotherhood in Egypt and ordered Louis Lerner to grant the Brotherhood non-profit status via the IRS. This in addition to donating billions to Muslin Madrases in the United States for their mosques, and he claims the power to do so.1
Barack has left a wide trail of:
contempt for the American people from the 9/11 Twin Towers destruction, to
blocking development of our tremendous national resources that could bring us out of the Barack-induced recession from
banning drilling, cancellation of the Canadian pipe-line,
refusal to grant permission to develop our vast oil and natural gas resources,
going to bed or merely playing cards while our ambassador and his team were massacred in Benghazi, thus defying the long-standing policy of “leave none behind”,
denying U.S. Corporations the right to non-profit status while
granting his Muslim buddies unquestioned non-profit status retroactively for over 2 years, (8) changing the U.S. Culture and its sense of independence, freedom and caring about out neighbors in time of need, as well of a sense of
(9) loss for our personal privacy,
(10) choice of health care and/or
(11) well-being.
The U.S. Constitution demands representative government. This is too much for Barack to stand.
(12)HE IS A DICTATOR, NOT OUR REPRESENTATIVE!!!
He claims the right to plunge us into a war supporting his brother-in-law and risking possible boots on the ground midst nerve gas, as well as
the future destruction of America's future. Why? Because
he claims that he has the right to plunge the U.S. Into a war with Syria when there is LITTLE OF NOTHING IN IT FOR US!!!
You Barack are not an American! You hate us and have sworn to plunge it into the 17th century so deeply that it may never recover!
Even your wedding ring declares Allah as the only true God.
We gave you every chance to prove yourself. YOU HATE AMERICA. Well, fella, the feeling is mutual. You have done nothing but earn total and absolute contempt in return!
It's time. IMPEACH BARACK!!! and send him back to the the world country he came from, never to return!
No more Barack, No More!

1Obama's Brother Linked to Muslin Brotherhood. NewYork Time, Michael Savage 8/20/13
Did the White House Help Plan the Syrian Chemical Attack?
There is a growing volume of new evidence from numerous sources in the Middle East — mostly affiliated with the Syrian opposition and its sponsors and supporters — which makes a very strong case, based on solid circumstantial evidence, that the August 21, 2013, chemical strike in the Damascus suburbs was indeed a pre-meditated provocation by the Syrian opposition.
The extent of US foreknowledge of this provocation needs further investigation because available data puts the “horror” of the Barack Obama White House in a different and disturbing light.
On August 13-14, 2013, Western-sponsored opposition forces in Turkey started advance preparations for a major and irregular military surge. Initial meetings between senior opposition military commanders and representatives of Qatari, Turkish, and US Intelligence [“Mukhabarat Amriki”] took place at the converted Turkish military garrison in Antakya, Hatay Province, used as the command center and headquarters of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and their foreign sponsors. Very senior opposition commanders who had arrived from Istanbul briefed the regional commanders of an imminent escalation in the fighting due to “a war-changing development” which would, in turn, lead to a US-led bombing of Syria.
The opposition forces had to quickly prepare their forces for exploiting the US-led bombing in order to march on Damascus and topple the Bashar al-Assad Government, the senior commanders explained. The Qatari and Turkish intelligence officials assured the Syrian regional commanders that they would be provided with plenty of weapons for the coming offensive.
Indeed, unprecedented weapons distribution started in all opposition camps in Hatay Province on August 21-23, 2013. In the Reyhanli area alone, opposition forces received well in excess of 400 tons of weapons, mainly anti-aircraft weaponry from shoulder-fired missiles to ammunition for light-guns and machineguns. The weapons were distributed from store-houses controlled by Qatari and Turkish Intelligence under the tight supervision of US Intelligence.
These weapons were loaded on more than 20 trailer-trucks which crossed into northern Syria and distributed the weapons to several depots. Follow-up weapon shipments, also several hundred tons, took place over the weekend of August 24-25, 2013, and included mainly sophisticated anti-tank guided missiles and rockets. Opposition officials in Hatay said that these weapon shipments were “the biggest” they had received “since the beginning of the turmoil more than two years ago”. The deliveries from Hatay went to all the rebel forces operating in the Idlib-to-Aleppo area, including the al-Qaida affiliated jihadists (who constitute the largest rebel forces in the area).
Several senior officials from both the Syrian opposition and sponsoring Arab states stressed that these weapon deliveries were specifically in anticipation for exploiting the impact of imminent bombing of Syria by the US and the Western allies. The latest strategy formulation and coordination meetings took place on August 26, 2013. The political coordination meeting took place in Istanbul and was attended by US Amb. Robert Ford.
More important were the military and operational coordination meetings at the Antakya garrison. Senior Turkish, Qatari, and US Intelligence officials attended in addition to the Syrian senior (opposition) commanders. The Syrians were informed that bombing would start in a few days.
“The opposition was told in clear terms that action to deter further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime could come as early as in the next few days,” a Syrian participant in the meeting said. Another Syrian participant said that he was convinced US bombing was scheduled to begin on Thursday, August 29, 2013. Several participants — both Syrian and Arab — stressed that the assurances of forthcoming bombing were most explicit even as formally Obama is still undecided.
The descriptions of these meetings raise the question of the extent of foreknowledge of US Intelligence, and therefore, the Obama White House. All the sources consulted — both Syrian and Arab — stressed that officials of the “Mukhabarat Amriki” actively participated in the meetings and briefings in Turkey. Therefore, at the very least, they should have known that the opposition leaders were anticipating “a war-changing development”: that is, a dramatic event which would provoke a US-led military intervention.
The mere fact that weapon storage sites under the tight supervision of US Intelligence were opened up and about a thousand tons of high-quality weapons were distributed to the opposition indicates that US Intelligence anticipated such a provocation and the opportunity for the Syrian opposition to exploit the impact of the ensuing US and allied bombing. Hence, even if the Obama White House did not know in advance of the chemical provocation, they should have concluded, or at the very least suspected, that the chemical attack was most likely the “war-changing development” anticipated by the opposition leaders as provocation of US-led bombing. Under such circumstances, the Obama White House should have refrained from rushing head-on to accuse Assad’s Damascus and threaten retaliation, thus making the Obama White House at the very least complicit after the act.
Meanwhile, additional data from Damascus about the actual chemical attack increases the doubts about Washington’s version of events. Immediately after the attack, three hospitals of Doctors Without Borders (MSF: médecins sans frontières) in the greater Damascus area treated more than 3,600 Syrians affected by the chemical attack, and 355 of them died. MSF performed tests on the vast majority of those treated.
MSF director of operations Bart Janssens summed up the findings: “MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack. However, the reported symptoms of the patients, in addition to the epidemiological pattern of the events — characterized by the massive influx of patients in a short period of time, the origin of the patients, and the contamination of medical and first aid workers — strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent.” Simply put, even after testing some 3,600 patients, MSF failed to confirm that sarin was the cause of the injuries. According to MSF, the cause could have been nerve agents like sarin, concentrated riot control gas, or even high-concentration pesticides. Moreover, opposition reports that there was distinct stench during the attack suggest that it could have come from the “kitchen sarin” used by jihadist groups (as distinct from the odorless military-type sarin) or improvised agents like pesticides.
Some of the evidence touted by the Obama White House is questionable at best.
A small incident in Beirut raises big questions. A day after the chemical attack, Lebanese fixers working for the “Mukhabarat Amriki” succeeded to convince a Syrian male who claimed to have been injured in the chemical attack to seek medical aid in Beirut in return for a hefty sum that would effectively settle him for life. The man was put into an ambulance and transferred overnight to the Farhat Hospital in Jib Janine, Beirut. The Obama White House immediately leaked friendly media that “the Lebanese Red Cross announced that test results found traces of sarin gas in his blood.” However, this was news to Lebanese intelligence and Red Cross officials. According to senior intelligence officials, “Red Cross Operations Director George Kettaneh told [them] that the injured Syrian fled the hospital before doctors were able to test for traces of toxic gas in his blood.” Apparently, the patient declared that he had recovered from his nausea and no longer needed medical treatment. The Lebanese security forces are still searching for the Syrian patient and his honorarium.
On August 24, 2013, Syrian Commando forces acted on intelligence about the possible perpetrators of the chemical attack and raided a cluster of rebel tunnels in the Damascus suburb of Jobar. Canisters of toxic material were hit in the fierce fire-fight as several Syrian soldiers suffered from suffocation and “some of the injured are in a critical condition”.
The Commando eventually seized an opposition warehouse containing barrels full of chemicals required for mixing “kitchen sarin”, laboratory equipment, as well as a large number of protective masks. The Syrian Commando also captured several improvised explosive devices, RPG rounds, and mortar shells. The same day, at least four HizbAllah fighters operating in Damascus near Ghouta were hit by chemical agents at the very same time the Syrian Commando unit was hit while searching a group of rebel tunnels in Jobar. Both the Syrian and the HizbAllah forces were acting on intelligence information about the real perpetrators of the chemical attack. Damascus told Moscow the Syrian troops were hit by some form of a nerve agent and sent samples (blood, tissues, and soil) and captured equipment to Russia.
Several Syrian leaders, many of whom are not Bashar al-Assad supporters and are even his sworn enemies, are now convinced that the Syrian opposition is responsible for the August 21, 2013, chemical attack in the Damascus area in order to provoke the US and the allies into bombing Assad’s Syria. Most explicit and eloquent is Saleh Muslim, the head of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) which has been fighting the Syrian Government. Muslim doubts Assad would have used chemical weapons when he was winning the civil war.
“The regime in Syria … has chemical weapons, but they wouldn’t use them around Damascus, five km from the [UN] committee which is investigating chemical weapons. Of course they are not so stupid as to do so,” Muslim told Reuters on August 27, 2013. He believes the attack was “aimed at framing Assad and provoking an international reaction”. Muslim is convinced that “some other sides who want to blame the Syrian regime, who want to show them as guilty and then see action” is responsible for the chemical attack. The US was exploiting the attack to further its own anti-Assad policies and should the UN inspectors find evidence that the rebels were behind the attack, then “everybody would forget it”, Muslim shrugged. “Who is the side who would be punished? Are they are going to punish the Emir of Qatar or the King of Saudi Arabia, or Mr Erdo?an of Turkey?”
And there remain the questions: Given the extent of the involvement of the “Mukhabarat Amriki” in opposition activities, how is that US Intelligence did not know in advance about the opposition’s planned use of chemical weapons in Damascus?
It is a colossal failure.
And if they did know and warned the Obama White House, why then the sanctimonious rush to blame the Assad Administration?
Moreover, how can the Obama Administration continue to support and seek to empower the opposition which had just intentionally killed some 1,300 innocent civilians in order to provoke a US military intervention?

The EU has signed on and only needs the US, China and India to agree to disclose data and embrace the pay to pollute carbon scheme. What a load of BS that airlines would pay for their carbon footprint that exceeds some limit set by a committee and to pass on the cost to the customers, which essentially makes it a world wide tax.
In addition to that tax our own EPA has delayed the increase in alternative fuel requirement for the US gasoline producers, which also require them to buy carbon credits traded as a commodity. Trading carbon credits are a money making scheme for those who have pushed the carbon credit and trading Ponzi scheme on the world. It would be an amazing story if it were fiction, but it is true. The western world has agreed to pay fines for carbon pollution and the men who designed and pushed the system will make billions. What a scam and a huge waste of money in the form of penitence and a world tax.
This is but one of the pledges that Obama has made to fight pollution in the US and world wide. It also re-distributes western wealth.
Add these taxes onto the nation and company carbon credit trading Ponzi schemes and you have a complete web of money making wealth re-distribution load of BS. People like AL Gore and George Soros own the trading companies and billions will be made brokering all of these various carbon credits. 10 Trillion dollars a year could be made if the US joins the world in this program. Always follow the money! No one could make something like this up and they have sold the world on it via the Kyoto and other global warming treaties. These also require alternative energy which is not commercial so it does drive up costs and diverts more tax dollars to various groups, e.g., ethanol, wind mill and solar panels producers.
The US should denounce these schemes use all of natural resources and let the market place develop alternative energy as it becomes economically viable. WE have hundreds of years of resources and these world wide taxes and exchanges are nothing but money, power and control for the ones who control them.
If the US will drop these and use our resources jobs will return with lower energy costs. Perhaps some of these people want to see less jobs and a weaker US?
One day action is required ASAP and the next a week or so delay is a good thing. I think Kerry makes a great politician after his years of training of being on all sides of any issue.
This is written with much thought. The American citizens are screaming NO strikes against Syria!! United Kingdom, Germany, French, and most Western Allies citizens have said NO strikes against Syria! This time We The People are calling our Congress to account!
A vote TO start another war in the East by approving Obama desire to strike Syria to punish it!
A vote NOT to strike Syria shows that Congress is on the side of the American citizens.
This vote should show just how much the Congress listens to its constituents. There is not one single thing or item that justifies the United States of America to intervene in Syria’s civil war.
Note: above was E-mailed to all Oregon Federal congressmen.
The problem is simple, we can not let the chemical wepon's get into the wrong hands or be used against the population of Syria. If we stand aside...ideally by while they do then what does that tell other country's? From the start of our existence as a nation we have never backed down from a fight. I do understand that we want piece in the world. But at the same time we have to make a statement to the world this will not be tolerated. As for Russia an china they think they can bully us around an tell us not to go or touch this problem, or there will be PROBLEMS. we were founded on doing the right thing. If that means one day I will have to go fight a war to save the people of this land an my children then so be it. I WOULD RATHER FIGHGT AN DIE AN LET PEOLE KNOW WHAT I WAS FIGHTING FOR THAN SIT BY AN DO NOTHING. That is the American way I know.

Obama's Middle East Mess, All Obama's Fault !
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. “
Today on the Chris Wallace show, John Kerry was trying to defend his boss' flip flop on decision to use military force on Syria. Barry, being great on foreign affairs, can't make a decision. Why? He has made many decisions before without Congress. I feel it is because he can't be seen in the Muslim community harming Muslims.
So, Barry, having a little human rights conscience, figures we have to do something. But, if he delays action by waiting for congress to return from recess, the terrorists (Muslims) responsible will have time to duck and cover.
The presidential buzz phrase is, per Kerry today, " If the president takes issue to Congress, it will make America stronger". I call BS!
TOOMUCH TALK ABOUT IMPEACHMENT!! TOO MANY INDIVIDUALS IN OBAMA'S "POCKET"....ALL MEMBERS OF THIS FANTASTIC GROUP SHOULD STRESS THESE FACTS AND DEMAND OBAMA BE TAKEN TO TASK FOR TREASON, AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY, NOT TO OVER LOOK HIS TRAITORIST ACTS WHILE IN THE OVAL OFFICE WHEN HE HAS NOT PROVEN HIS ELIGIBILITY AS PRESIDENT. IF ANYONE CARES TO LOOK INTO THIS ONE WILL REALIZE THAT HE TECHNICALLY IS NOT THE LEGAL PRESIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT MOST OF HIS DOCUMENTS HAVE ARE NOT LEGAL. AS "COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF" OF ALL THE MILIARY ARMS, HE IS SUBJECT TO THE UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE AND IS SUBJECT TO BEING COURTMARTIALED FOR HIS ANTI-AMERICAN ACTS AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. I SUGGEST ALL PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATIONS BAND TOGETHER AND SHOW A STRONG UNITED FRONT AND DEMAND OBAMA BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS SUPPORTED HIM AND HIS
TREASON ACTS.
Sadly, today Obama made America into a PAPER tiger.
Just like when Obama usually voted present while in the Illinois State House he chose to vote present today. Also, after Kerry stated how bad it was and how action must be taken now the President said we can wait a couple of weeks. Then he and Biden went out and played golf. How important those poor souls must feel in Syria and how they must now realize how many Americans feel too. Very disappointed and sad about our Leader. Prepared to give an order, but doesn't, critical response needed, but delay, doesn't need approval, but will wait for it.
After saying there was a red line and then blinking. While Syria is not a direct threat, but a moral responsibility as a world super power to stop mass murder weights on our country.
The UN, where we pay 25% of the base budget is a worthless, spy den where many of the members oppose the US at every turn. Our self interest, protection and our Constitution are the only things that matter, not the UN.
The issue now is that Iran, Muslim terrorists, N. Korea, Chinese and Russia will see a paper tiger. After drawing a line and doing nothing with Iran and now Syria what can the world do without recourse from the US? Iran is building nuclear weapons, China takes technology, spies, builds the military ASAP and manipulates currency to maintain a trade advantage, terrorists kill America soldiers and others without over whelming reaction from the US, we tolerate open hostile teachings within our border by Muslim activists , we tolerate the same from illegals and leave our borders open, grant asylum to Mexicans while denying the same to German home school parents and their children.
Our Congress and President will have weekend cookouts, the President will travel overseas and nothing happens. Our Congress takes no action while the war on coal and many aspects of America continue to be waged by Obama, much less what happens in Syria.
