"Impeach Obama" movement has already begun. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4430408)
So who thinks we can rest and relax now that we've won?
These assholes have neither resting nor relaxing listed on their itinerary. :grr:
Not finished yet.

'Impeach Obama' groups pop up on Facebook
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Barack Obama has not even been sworn in yet as the 44th president of the United States but groups are springing up online calling for his impeachment.
On Facebook, an "Impeach Barack Obama" group has attracted more than 700 members and a lively debate about the Democrat's election victory on Tuesday over Republican John McCain.
Another Facebook group of the same name has 160 members and urges others to join because "we might as well get a head start on the impeachment of Obama."
"There are a lot of Americans out there that do not fully understand the concept of Socialism or Communism which is why they've elected Obama as president," it says.
Yet another Facebook group, "Impeach Barack Hussein Obama," has 160 members.
It decries that Obama "has voiced support for various unconstitutional programs such as the assault weapons ban, universal healthcare, and various schemes for wealth distribution."
"What are we going to do about it? IMPEACH HIM!" it says.

I for one think that the "Impeach Obama" crap is silly. However, the responses are SO dripping with irony based on what we've seen from the DUmp over the last 8 years:

10. Well as long as Bush/Cheney are walking into the sunset with no
reprisals for their crimes, those right wing nut jobs will do this sort of thing with impunity. This is why we need Congress to investigate and bring up to the sunshine everything this Republican administration has done so that even the wormiest of freepers will throw up their hands in digust. It's the only way and if Nancy Pelosi and Congress don't do this, look for four to eight years of these kinds of relentless, non-stop attacks on a sitting President.

Heh. It takes so little to drive them crazy, especially because DU never thought of the 'Facebook Impeachment Manoeuvre'. BTW I think you are messing with Adbots head aren't you? :rotf:

Looks like a Facebook group is giving Il Duce the same chance the DUmmies gave Bush. Now that the shoe's on the other foot, they don't like it. :bawl: :loser:

Well, If he goes through with his mandatory service plan, he will be in violation of The Constitution and Impeachable. - It violates 'involuntary servitude' , 13th amendment
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Wouldn't Selective Service fall under that then?

There was a supreme court case in the early 20th century that exempted Military draft from the definition - I don't remember what it was called..
Ahh a quick peek at wiki answered that -
Interpretation
Involuntary servitude
In Butler v. Perry, 240 U.S. 328 (1916), the Supreme Court ruled that the military draft was not "involuntary servitude".
Offenses against the Thirteenth Amendment have not been prosecuted since 1947.[4][5]
Prior to 1988, inflicting involuntary servitude through psychologically coercive means was included in the interpretation of the Thirteenth Amendment. In United States v. Kozminski, 487 U.S. 931 (1988), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Thirteenth Amendment did not prohibit compulsion of servitude through psychological coercion.[6][7] Psychological coercion had been the primary means of forcing involuntary servitude in the case of Elizabeth Ingalls in 1947.[8] However, the Court held that there are exceptions. The court decision circumscribed involuntary servitude to be limited to those situations when the master subjects the servant to
(1) threatened or actual physical force,
(2) threatened or actual state-imposed legal coercion, or
(3) fraud or deceit where the servant is a minor, an immigrant or mentally incompetent.
The federal anti-slavery statutes were updated in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, P.L. 106-386, which expanded the federal statutes' coverage to cases in which victims are enslaved through psychological, as well as physical, coercion.[9][10]
Free versus unfree labor
Labor is defined as work of economic or financial value. Unfree labor, or labor not willingly given, is obtained in a number of ways:
* causing or threatening to cause serious harm to any person;
* physically restraining or threatening to physically restrain another person;
* abusing or threatening to abuse the law or legal process;
* knowingly destroying, concealing, removing, confiscating or possessing any actual or purported passport or other immigration document, or any other actual or purported government identification document, of another person;
* blackmail;
* causing or threatening to cause financial harm [using financial control over] to any person.
Definitions of conditions addressed by Thirteenth Amendment
Peonage[11]
Refers to a person in "debt servitude," or involuntary servitude tied to the payment of a debt. Compulsion to servitude includes the use of force, the threat of force, or the threat of legal coercion to compel a person to work against his or her will.
Involuntary Servitude[12]
Refers to a person held by actual force, threats of force, or threats of legal coercion in a condition of slavery – compulsory service or labor against his or her will. This also includes the condition in which people are compelled to work against their will by a "climate of fear" evoked by the use of force, the threat of force, or the threat of legal coercion (i.e., suffer legal consequences unless compliant with demands made upon them) which is sufficient to compel service against a person's will. The first U.S. Supreme Court case to uphold the ban against involuntary servitude was Bailey v. Alabama (1911).
Requiring specific performance as a remedy for breach of personal services contracts has been understood to be a form of involuntary servitude.[13]
Forced Labor[14]
Labor or service obtained by:
* by threats of serious harm or physical restraint;
* by means of any scheme, plan, or pattern intended to cause a person to believe they would suffer serious harm or physical restraint if they did not perform such labor or services:
* by means of the abuse or threatened abuse of law or the legal process,

makes ya wonder if Skinner is messing with Wee Willie at times, eh? :-)

Obummer's minions have pulled the idea, and everything else off his webpage. And so in beginds.

Actually something that this particular story left out was that Facebook has something like 3 times as many Impeach Bush groups. Another story I read last week on this matter actually covered that part.

What is the difference?
Recalling/Impeaching a duly elected president ......
Recalling/getting declared unconstitutional a vote to declare a ban on gay marriage .......
Seems par for the course to me.

It's been a bad day, but your AdBot adlib cracked me up. I needed that. What's even more funny is that it's almost like something that would show up under AdBot. Which makes me wonder...
Did the addition of the AdBot ads start before or after Rove resigned?

MASSIVE finance fraud. There is probably God knows what with the fuhrer's interning with the Chicago Mob.

I think I'm a member of a couple of those Impeach Barack Obama groups on Facebook just for the fun of it. Bill Burton is also one of my Facebook friends. I send him lots of interesting invitations and pass on several links to Obama stories on Facebook.

Uh, there's a problem with this.
If the Bostonian Drunkard's announced the impeachment of the Big Zero, it ain't gonna happen.
If the Bostonian Drunkard annouces something's going to happen, it never does.

I'm sure he would be the first to declare there is no chance Obama could ever be brought to trial or convicted.

Considering the mechanics of impeachment, he could get caught selling crack after killing the dealer he got it from, any such declaration would be entirely correct for the next two years, at least.

After watching the ****ing propaganda ministries gerry-rig the polls this past 2 years, you can't seriously tell me you expect to see any poll showing Amerika's fawning admiration for Dear Leader falling below 70%, can you?
Maybe we need to check yer carrot juice?
