Let's impeach the president

For the above link, i want you to do what, apparently, americans aren't capable of doing: Ignore the video, and listen to the words.

All of them are golden, but pay special attention to the end there:
Let's impeach the president for hijacking
Our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected

Neil Young, in his old age, got a little senile, and forgot that he's a prophet. And prophets talk about the future, never the present.

But seriously, there is allot of call for an impeachment here. After muscle-ing the health care bill thru, (correct me if i'm wrong here, anyone, unconstitutionally) now he refuses to uphold the defense of marriage act. Now don't get me wrong, that law is absolute bullshit, but the president is not the head of the judicial branch, and it is not his right to decide to over rule the legislative branch.

Perhaps, the good thing that comes out of all this will be a new american party. One that understands the social libertarianism that is the basis of the democratic party's popularity, but also follows the constitution, and understands that the gov't is not my mommy, or my older brother.
Kind of like, the tea party, without the racists and paranoid Mccarthyists.
Or, maybe the USA is a christian country at heart, and is simply doomed.

This country is so polarized. The best place to find anti-obama reporting is a news channel with little integrity, that most of the country thinks is in the pocket of big oil/big business and evangelical christians.

And on the other side, we have threats of race riots if obama is impeached.

Your guess is as good as mine, but the way i see it is that it's clear the world as we know it is coming to an end.
Luckily I've got Rambam's thirteen principles of faith, so i believe something better is coming.

  1. The health care bill was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the president. The process was constitutional. Whether the law itself is constitutional is a different matter.

  2. I stand corrected, then.

    What about his refusal to uphold the defense of marriage act?
    I've heard talk from even the more moderate americans suggesting they believe Obama is trying to bring a very different change to america than he was preaching about during election.

    Now, he's no Julian Assange, but i do wonder if he has it out for america as we know it, also.

    This might be blasphemy, but i'm kindof hoping he does.
