Reply #25: There's a reason he survived the demolition derby of the 2008 primaries...

Shit all of over him for poor reasons - I have yet to see any demonstrative evidence that he is in the pockets of Wall Streets. I don't think President Obama is just another politician, I don't think that of most of our Democratic representatives. The people are failing themselves over and over again because they are not educated - sometimes leadership is required and respect is demanded by decorum - we have no guillotine in this country.

Where in the Constitution does it say that "the President is our employee?" He is not an employee, he is a fellow citizen who has been elected to hold the office for a certain duration. That is not the definition of employment. He cannot be removed in a simple vote of no confidence like in so many other governments. This was done by design. There is no recall provision in the U.S. Constitution only conviction of "high crimes and misdemeanors" by the Congress in accordance with the supervision of SCOTUS.
