I think someone needs to sit him down and help get his priorities in order.
Well he's working on fixing a ton of critical problems created by the Republicans and their lemming excusers, rationalizers and justifiers. That seems to be a pretty decent set of priorities.
No, I do not think Obama should be impeached (unless it is proven he is not a natural-born citizen, a result I do not expect). IMHO he has not committed any High Crimes or Misdemeanors. Gross, repeated and flagrant lying to the American public about what his programs contain, does not rise to the level of HC&M. Neither does deliberately and knowingly signing unconstitutional legislation - we have courts to check and balance that tendency.
(Now, impeachments of certain Court justices who ignore this unconstitutionality, is a different matter.)
Fortunately, those acts by a President, do not warrant impeachment. If they did, we'd have to impeach every president going back to Hoobert Heaver, and maybe beyond.
As for present problems caused by "Republicans", when did Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Charles Schumer, and that gang (who directly caused the housing-finance crisis that dragged down our economy) change parties? Or Bill Clinton, who deliberately ignored increasing terrorist activity ranging from blowing up our embassies to blowing up our warships to parking a huge bomb in the World Trade Center, brushing them off with a few halfhearted criminal prosecutions after the fact, thus allowing Al Qaeda enough time and rope to gain a foothold in this country and destroy the WTC?

You know what gets me. I really tired of hearing Obama blame the republicans. I was not a fan of GW Bush, especially in his 2nd term.
You would think that Obama would value this challenge-to fix our problems, but he doesn't. Blaming is so unproductive, don't you think? I guess you would then think that a critical problem we are facing now is the 2016 Olympics that Obama is rushing to get resolved when our nation is under attack!
Wake up and smell the coffee! My favorite cliché
You know what gets me?
When people who couldn't fix coffee let alone get elected as President of the United States of American whine because our President hasn't cured every problem known to man in his first few months in office.
The fact is President Obama is moving forward on many MANY fronts. As I clearly recall the whining WAS that he was doing too many things at once. But when it's a convenient rap now just say he's not doing enough.
The economy has stabilized under President Obama, Health Insurance Reform is pending and things are moving along well. By the end of 2010 this country will be in much better shape and the Republicants will still whine... smear, whine & obstruct... that's basically all they do.
One of my favorite cliché...
Does your "me too chorus" apply to the posters who said he should be impeached? Or to the posters who said he should not be?Yet look at the "me too" chorus it created on this thread.
Well, one of the posters here is certainly acting that way. Though I wouldn't go so far as to call him a "convention" or a "pack".It's a convention of mindless buffoons. Just like a pack of mongrels barking at the moon thinking they're accomplishing something.
