Below is an article written by a left-wing activist who called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush. Unlike so many of his comrades, he believes that since Barack Obama is carrying out many of the same policies set in place by his predecessor, Obama deserves to be impeached, as well. While conservatives may disagree with some — though perhaps not all — of the author’s criticisms, he is joining a growing number of leftists and Democrats angered, nervous, or ready to jump-ship on the Obama presidency. A recent poll posted on DailyKos found 13 percent of liberals support impeaching Obama. Whatever their motivation, we applaud their consistency in calling out a president of their own party. If enough conservatives speak out, perhaps a few Congressmen will show the same courage. Click here to sign the petition to impeach Obama. — The Ed.

Richard Nixon’s White House Counsel John Dean, while Bush was president, predicted that Bush’s successor would be one of two things, either the best or the worst president in history. He, or she, would either undo the damage and prosecute the crimes, or protect the criminals and continue the abuses. Obama has protected the criminals, continued many of the abuses, more firmly established the power to commit those abuses, and expanded abusive powers beyond what Bush ever attempted. I’m not trying to quantify and determine whether Obama has grabbed “more” new abusive powers than Bush did. I’m simply pointing out that, as with previous presidents, Obama has retained the powers bequeathed him and added some…
The Education Department pushes corporatization, privatization, and testing. The trade agreements are all corporate…President Obama is taking the budget from the Bush years, adding to the military, and cutting or freezing everything else. The budgetary crisis in state governments and in people’s homes continues to worsen. The Wall Street and corporate bailouts that Obama helped Bush impose on us have only escalated since Obama moved to the White House…Obama has not added as much to the military budget as Bush did, but he has added to Bush’s largest military budget, enlarging it further each year — and with activist groups and news reports tending to falsely report that he’s cutting it…For a time, Obama had more troops and mercenaries in the field than Bush had ever had.He stood in front of the U.S. Constitution in the National Archives and tossed habeas corpus into the trash bin…This is Bush-Cheney-level secrecy with the pretense that it isn’t. And it’s worse. Obama has set records for rejecting Freedom of Information Act requests and for prosecutions of whistle blowers…
So why not impeach Obama? I clamored for the impeachment of Bush. I say Obama is as bad or worse. Why am I such a corrupt hypocrite that I haven’t built a movement to impeach Obama? Well, I’ll tell you, as I’ve told people more times than I can count. Obama should be impeached and convicted and removed from office. Obama should be prosecuted for his crimes. So should his subordinates. (Emphasis added.) So should his predecessor, his subordinates, and all corporate co-conspirators. The reason I can’t get 20 people into the streets to demand Obama’s impeachment (and if I did, they’d want him impeached for being born in Africa to aliens from Planet Socialism) is that nobody in Congress is even pretending to give a damn. We were able to produce a sizeable movement for impeachment when Bush was in office, because a lot of Democrats in Congress, especially in 2005 and 2006, pretended they were on our side. I say “pretended” as a way to indicate not that they didn’t agree with us, but that they were not committed to trying very hard.

Just how many petitions and names do we need? There has been petitions that were started over 1 year ago and with allthis time passing it must have millions of names on them. WHAT THE HELL IS THE HOLD UP!
yes, i am tired of signing petitions!! gets to be all talk!! no action!!
I cant understand it. I was one of the first to sign the petitions when they came around. I even signed them more than one time ( Acorn?) it you might say. We are being duped again and again. Time to vote out all of them.
No one is stepping up to take on all of the media the unions and corrupt Demoncrats. There must be a threat to their lifes if they dare to speak out against this Agenda. I want to pull the plug on all of them.
So impeach him already and stop talking about it.
X9RtRl Very true! Makes a change to see someone spell it out like that.
There are too many wimps d traitors in the senate and congress to get this done.
l6zLNi You’re the greatest! JMHO
All Obama is doing is playing golf and basketball and making an occasional speech. He's been advised to carry on what he's good at and be a figure head while the big boys do their task of screwing up the country. They just find the most evil and pliable men they can to pull their strings.
The greater enemy is not Obama or Bush.
We all need to turn our attention away from the figure heads and identify and go after the globalist powers that are really running things.
the right people have to stand up to do this! ones who know we are at risk of losing our country as we know it! but which ones will have the courage( COJONES) to save the country ? seems they are all in their pocket!
MypN7C TYVM you’ve solved all my problems

I have been asking and pleading with those who talk about signing the Impeachment Petition I signed it .Then there are more and more emails asking to sign the SAME petition. All I get are daily emails talking about what this President is doing against our Country and our Constitution etc. I am getting a damn headache with all the talk online, emails and the news. I finally sent various emails to our House Speaker and other Legislatures and Congressmen and Woman even Governors asking them to Impeach Obama. I finally sent emails to Floyd Brown telling him this same thing I am darn tired of hearing all about Impeaching this man why? isnt there some actions taken NOW!! enough talking this man is daily making plans to bring this Country down and take away our rights. What is it going to take before something is really done? How much lower does America have to go before we can look up. If we dont act now it will come a day when it will be too late, this man will have brought us down and we will no longer be a free Country. Look at all the things he has done already in 2 years.
Who has the balls to take a STAND and STAND!! WITHOUT BACKING DOWN I AM DAMN ANGRY!
Oh by the way I AM A BLACK WOMAN WHO IS HAPPILY MARRIED TO A WHITE MAN WHO AGREES WITH ME!
I agree with you and every word you said. I too wonder if anyone will truly do anything to get this very evil man and his followers out of office. Writing Congress has gotten no where. I do keep writing thinking maybe if enough of us keep telling them this is all wrong they might wake up. May God help us before it is too late.
And I am A white, grandmother who, for the first time in my life, fear for my country! I am in total agreement with your post! I too, have signed every petition that came along for the impeachment of this unqualified individual! Why hasn't this been done? What is Boehners' e-mail? If something isn't done soon…there won't be any United States of America..only the Great Kingdom of Obama!
Lets get'er done
KyyvLN IMHO you’ve got the right answer!
I say leave the man alone! What are these people wanting to impeach him for? He's not even the president yet. I think that people need to give him a chance to prove what he can do. After all, he can't be any worse than Bush( hopefully)
Whether or not Obama is worse than Bush is not the issue. The problem is, that this country cannot stand any more of agenda of the Robber Barons, Secret Cabal, or socialist, marxist, to destroy this country. I believe that Obama is a puppet of Bush 41 and Soros. Yes, they work together to accomplish the same end.
3mTKlm I’m out of league here. Too much brain power on display!

WHAT????? Where do you hide out that your mind is empty? At lease Bush kept us safe after 911 and for how many years????..
B.o. has been in three years and how many terrorist has he stopped ???? zero…. How many terrorist murders have we had during his three years??? 60 more….. He has allowed his muslim so called religion of sharia law to take the lives of our innocent American people and service people on American soil… He has offered these terrorist killers an open door to the American rights process in our courts system of innocent until proven guilty. Fact is they are the enemy of the U.S.A. and they live here, They are NOT U.S. citizens as we know American citizens to be and should not be given the same right as Americans, They are spy's with an agenda, they have deceitfully got them self's in high places of control for the take down of our Country and should be treated as the enemy. Their alliance is to destroy this Country's way of life in order to take it over. If that happens we will see sharia laws here. They want our Country and to kill Americans.. They are at the top pressing down on us, We need to push back and getting them out . We do not want B.O. for another four years..
God Bless America and its People
zLpcNT That’s way the bestest answer so far!
At least Jorge Bush Jr. was patriotic, even though grossly misguided and inept; 0bama is downright treasonous (which I knew from the fact that his mentor was Bill Ayers; and proved beyond doubt by his appointment of a La Raza–front for Aztlan Movement–activist to SCOTUS).
THERE IS NOT A LOT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUSH AND OBAMA. BOTH ARE A SORRY LOT. NEITHER ONE OF THEM TRIED TO SECURE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER. BOTH GET THEIR MARCHING ORDERS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO. BUSH AND HIS NEW "WORLD ORDER SHIT" JUST LIKE HIS OLD MAN. OBAMA IS MORE COMMIE PROBABLY THAN EITHER BUSH. BUT THEY ARE ALL SORRY BASTARDS. DONT FORGET OLD "DRAFT-DODGER VELCO ZIPPER CLINTON. WHERE IN THE HELL DO WE GET THESE SORRY S.O.B.'S WE ELECT AS PRESIDENT OF THIS ONCE GREAT COUNTRY? SORRY, SORRY.
