It is definitely incorrect to remove him from office before his criminal trial. I persoanlly believe that he's a street fighter with a bad mouth and a shitty haircut. But those are not impeachable offenses. Is he telling the truth? yes. He's a shrewd politician, non different from others. After Obama got into the US Senat, his wife's salary went up from 199K to 300K. How is that not the same payoff? The legislators want him out of the way because he was doing too much for the people. I personally would vote for him for President.

He's also an intelligent, educated, thoughtful person, all worthy traits in any individual. It's hard <i>not</i> to like someone who's so obviously personable.

It truly was a grassroots movement that got him where he is today - something many people in politics thought wasn't possible anymore. Obama inspires me a lot and I didn't even vote for him (libertarian - it's where the party is at). He's very cool, calm and collected - someone who thinks carefully about what they say before they say it. Do I feel positive about the future because of Obama? No, we're facing a lot of challenges internally and abroad that would test the mettle of many capable politicians. Still that being said, the fact that Obama as a politician is proposing something that virtually goes against every libertarian bone in my body - and I still feel assured that he can make it work - says a lot about him to me too.

Almost everyone on our political spectrum did. There were so many factors that anytime someone tries to put all the responsibility on one thing alone, it just sounds silly to me.

In this country, you can't deny a specific group of people equal rights. This is a war the religious and conservative right cannot win. Battles, yes. But the war? No. I really think this is a last ditch attempt by a lot of people who see the writing on the wall. In this country, you can’t deny a specific group of people equal rights.
