The Washington Times,<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jul/22/the-case-for-impeachment-142967590/>which has become known through the years as D.C.'s major alternative newspaper, called for the ouster of Obama in an op-ed column yesterday. The Times is delivered into the mailboxes of every Senator and Congressman in Washington. While one major site ranks the Washington Times in the top 100 <http://www.mondonewspapers.com/circulation/usatop100.html>daily newspapers in the country (No. 92), for a publication to rank even in the top 100 out of over 1400 daily papers in America qualifies the Times as a 'major daily.' Although the column does not officially represent the editorial board of the newspaper, the fact that WT chose to publish it may indicate the official stance of its publisher and ownership, given that the columnist is one of a select few staff editorialists for the paper, and each column written by staff must have prior approval of the WT brass. In the stunning opinion-piece, columnist Jeffrey T. Kuhner stated the following: "President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached." Kuhner goes further to delineate the specific high crimes and misdemeanors to which he refers. It turns out that this is not the first time that the Washington Times has hinted that it may now support Obama's impeachment. In July, former GOP Presidential candidate and Colorado gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo wrote an opinion piece for the paper which also called for Obama's impeachment.<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jul/22/the-case-for-impeachment/> Tancredo maintains that Obama violated his oath of office by his actions and inaction regarding federal enforcement of immigration law and his intention to punish the state of Arizona for passing a law that would enforce federal mandates. The problem, of course, is that as long as the Democrats control Congress, such a move will never be made. In order for an ouster of a sitting President to occur, a clear supermajority must approve the measure. And, in this current highly partisan political climate, the only way that can occur is a massive Republican (conservatives, not RINOS) takeover of both the House and the Senate in November. Problems regarding Presidential high crimes and misdemeanors go far beyond the White House, however. Congress walks in tandem with this President's penchant for disregarding our nation's laws and its Constitution. A clear example of Congress as an accessory to the crimes is a little-reported covert act which made the ominous 'cap and trade' energy tax on Americans a reality without a vote. <http://www.ameripac.org/blog_post/show/350> Many conservative political observers have long warned about actions such as these by Obama and Congress, but mainly with regard to the upcoming 'lame duck session' between November and January before the new Congress can be seated. Cap and trade was one of the bills the Left promised to pass before they left office. Now, however, it appears they have already done so, and that without debate or vote. Although it appears that 65 BILLION dollars have already been transfered to an entity that profits from 'capping' greenhouse gases in the Northeast, citizens still have a window of opportunity to stop it from being implemented across the country--IF they bombard Congress with protests over cap and trade. Such legislation would add an extra $2400 to $5000 dollars in energy costs PER YEAR PER HOUSEHOLD in America, placing yet another unconscionable financial burden on families who are still suffering from the worst economic decline since the Great Depression. The fact that these oppressive measures are being forced on the American public by elected co-conspirators in the economic collapse, such as Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Patrick Leahy, Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer, and many others who gave their nod to the dubious government policy dating all the way back to the mid-1990s to essentially turn Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into welfare agencies, only underscores the corruption that is entrenched in Washington in Congress AND the White House. Thus, not only is it clear that Obama should be impeached and removed from office, but his enablers in Congress, who have controlled the legislative branch since 2006, must be ousted in November. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
