    Well, I think he's just trying to give an equal opportunity to the people in this country. I mean, everyone does things we dont like but the majority of the people in this country like him otherwise he wouldnt have won the popular vote. Some socialism isnt bad, it will help bring the country back to being about the middle class if the class system is balanced out again. Right now a lot of people are either doing very well or doing very poorly it seems like.  

    Unfortunately for him his Constitutional role as President does not give him the authority to equal the playing field. Socialism to any degree violates the republic that the Constitution (the supreme law of the land) dictates we have. So ANY action that is used to bring about the destruction of the republic is an impeachable offense (and implementing socialism, communism, fascism, or any other kind of oligarchy DOES destroy the republic - even democracy destorys the republic).

    Of course as I stated earlier, we would also have to impeach all of the Presidents (perhaps barring Reagan and Kennedy) upto Hoover and maybe earlier, along with the Congress and the Supreme Court. Our government has run amuck and is no longer bound by the law of Constitution.

    3. If he were impeached and left office Biden would be president, Peolsi would still be in office and the Dems would still control congress so what's the point?

     Apparently they are too busy calling Obama a socialist and none citizen to realize the line of succession.

  •  He hasnt violated any of the constitution from what I understand. The only thing he is trying to do that could be viewed as socialist is healthcare reform and I think thats probably a good idea, especially considering the elderly people in the country are suffering because the healthcare isnt covering their medical costs, not to mention what will it be like when the younger generations get older?

     

    This country was founded on beliefs that everyone should be treated as equal. What else has he done thats Socialist? The bailouts werent started by him. AIG was started with Bush. And as for the GM and Chrysler bailouts the bailouts were happening because those companies employ a HUGE percentage of the country. Without bailing them out there would have been more layoffs and the recession that we have actually been in longer than Obama has been in office would have escalated into a depression.

     

    The banks that were bailed out have started paying back and turning revenue again. The issue with the guidelines as far as bailouts go werent Obama's fault, but rather Congress because they didnt institute them, as they have the power to do so.

    The bailouts are oligarchical - could be either socialist or fascist, and yes, Bush started them that is only part of the reason why I think Bush should be impeached. And the health care is definately socialist. The problem is that the vast majority of the things that our government does is unconstitutional, so if were to impeach Obama for unconstitutional acts, we'd also have to impeach most of the past presidents up to Hoover at least would have to impeached, and also the Conress and the Supreme Court.

    We shouldn't be sitting here saying, "well Obama isn't the first one to do _______" we should be outraged at the obvious disregard for the Constitution by ALL of our elected officials and should be going through a serious downsizing of DC in order to restore liberty and our republic.

  • I completely agree with you there. There does need to be a DC downsize, but its not going to happen. And, yes, constitutionally he couldnt equalize the country, but Congress and the Supreme Court do have that power, I just think a lot of people dont get the full story and jump to conclusions, you however arent one of those people and have made an informed argument! Kudos!

  • Why is it scary?  What makes now any different than before?  We (the US citizens) have been run over far longer than this administration, so what did we do differently in past administrations?

  • Well, in the Bush administration fear was the common priciple running throughout the nation it seemed like, imposing on our constitutional rights with acts such as the Patriot Act, and then the start of two wars, one of which is  just really getting started after 6 years. Our international affairs were horrible, and none of the other countries wanted to be friends with us, in simple terms. Our national deficit is horrible once again, we went into a recession, and now we have a HUGE mess to clean up.

     

    The Clinton administration was a great turning point for the Nation. We were out of national deficit, and there was a great healthcare reform attempt, our international relations were good, and there was a general feeling of hope in the country.

     

    thats all I'm old enough to remember.

  • We were out of our national deficit? No he paid down the national deficit by 16 million(which btw paying down the deficit always sends the US into recession) but he took 86 trillion recovered from the cold war reimbursements and sat it in a bank in Switzerland(yep just sitting there) after giving 250 million of that money to his wifes favorite charity(buying himself out of the dog house). Then he had the man sent to recover the money imprisioned.

    Joe Biden and his vice-presidency, is dangerous.  That is one of the major things that has worried me about this presidency, and I believe that Obama was chosen, bought and paid for because he is puppetting what his masters tell him.

    Take a look at some of our so-called "representatives", look into those behind the large campaign drives on both sides (McCain and Obaoma), regardless of their party affiliation, and we begin to notice a pattern, and identifying similarities.

    I do worry that someone will attempt an assassination and blame it on someone else.  It wouldn't be hard to dupe the American public into believing that a Muslim committed the crime.  Entirely too many are willingly spooning up what they are fed by their chosen media.
