Bill Clinton was impeached for some of his crimes, which seem like petty misdemeanors compared to what Obama has done while in office. At least Clinton's use of the White House for affairs with a young intern, and selling satellite technology to the Chinese, didn't result in any deaths. Obama's orders to let the consulate staff be murdered by radical Islamist terrorists should be one of the high crimes that deserve impeachment.

Our nation as we know it is now lost. Obama will see to it. He lied about the attack which killed our ambassador on 11 Sept 2012 - he never sent the help they screamed for for hours - it is known his wife doesn't like or respect this nation as she said in a speech prior to the first election when she said 'I finally respect the US'. Finally? Secret Service wrote a book recently stating she doesn't like white people and the president is an arrogant egotistical self serving person. The people wanted a change - Obama is pushing the United States down the toilet...he is doing this for his father and his preacher who he both idolized. We are doomed. Lord help us.

When one enlists in the United States Military, active duty or reserve, they take the following oath: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Seems like pretty good motivation to obey any order you're given, right? Nope. These articles require the obedience of LAWFUL orders. An order which is unlawful not only does not need to be obeyed, but obeying such an order can result in criminal prosecThe weekend after 9/11/2001, I went in a local Checker Auto wearing a t-shirt, with an American Flag on it, and the clerks face dropped. He pointed to a pile of t-shirts, like mine, and he said he could not give them away as people were afriad of becomming a target. I told him that was why I was wearing mine. If terriorist came through shooting Patriots, I would hate to be left out.ution of the one who obeys it. Military courts have long held that military members are accountable for their actions even while following orders -- if the order was illegal. If any law infringes on MY Constitution, it is NOT Lawful. Whether Obama is reelected or not, Treason charges should be considered against him, as he has done harm to America, and he has infringed of The Constitution of the United States of America, which I have sworn to defend. Any former President gets a life time pension, and 24/7 security detail for all the members of his family. Obama has done to much damage to America already, and we do not need to reward him with a life time pension and security.
