If a person answers yes to the question, first they should ask themselves why? I'll concede they may have valid points though I may disagree. I suspect that if some are given an opportunity to spell out reasons for President Obama to be impeached they may not have valid points at all. In fact, there may be those who are getting angry before reading the second sentence of this article.

The venom that is often displayed in opposition to President Obama, often dominates the facts. Not true? Pose the question "How are you feeling when someone is openly supporting the President?", and quite a few people would engage in inflammatory comments and behavior.

This sort of reminds me of a failed relationship between two people and person "X" is struggling to get over the other. One mention of their name and they become emotional. Either because they miss them, or in this case, angry because person" X" feels they feel that they were let go to soon.

When a citizen makes a passionate vote for a particular candidate they are often persuaded by their speech or core beliefs. The election of President Obama in 2009 was partially due to the failed policies of former President Bush, who had eight years to get it right. He didn't.

Now the opposition will find reasons for their disagreement with the President. But what exactly are they? The Presidents policies on the Iraq war are not far off from those of President Bush's. The same might be said about the war in Afghanistan.

The Presidents handling of the economy, wall street, and the banking industry was in conjunction with some of the same Bush adviser's, although there may be a different rational, many of the results are the same, overzealous wall street stays rich.

So what is the big reason why much of the Helium debate numbers are in opposition to President Obama? Did he fail the American people too? Was the same people making a push to impeach President Bush who was responsible for starting two wars, and policies that caused the ills of the economy?

Or does the opposition President Obama bring to something deeper? Perhaps. Unfortunately, the government will be more dysfunctional if the citizens could put people out of office because of deep seated hatred or bias's. Not to worry, November 4th 2012 is coming soon. But so is 2016.
