@ Alan — “Impeachment” is only allowed for sitting Presidents. If we’re lucky enough to have Obama elected, Bush would no longer be impeachable. That aside, impeachment is an act of our legislative branch, not of the executive, and requires a majority of votes in the House of Representatives to initiate the process. Obama is a Senator, not a Representative, and, thus, isn’t capable of even trying to put forth the idea for a vote. That action is up to House leadership, including Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

What Bush will be hopefully up for at the end of his Presidency is a nice criminal trial somewhere. I know a lot of Americans are hoping for such a thing (including me…).

Anyway, just wanted to clear up that procedural point, because there isn’t jack squat Obama can do to impeach anyone.

Angry: I’m a supporter of Cynthia McKinney (The Greens candidate for US president) . She black, she a woman and she is one who would like to jam the gears of the machine.

I know, she’s a 9/11 truther but she knows how to take on those neoconservatives.

Alan: I trust Barack Obama (as much as any politician). The fact that he has some supporters who are dicks is hardly his fault. Ron Paul attracts white supremacists and outright nutcases. It’s unfair to judge a person based on the worst freak who expresses support for them.

Concerning the Obama cult, have you seen the Obama Youth.

Mindy: I have faith that enough Americans will do the right thing and see through those lies.

Alan: Not those specific words of Biden, no. Obama himself has made statements on that front but very vague ones. They seem to be playing politics and don’t want to be portrayed as “vindictive”

And the FISA thing sucks, yeah. Obama is as guilty as any politicians of doing things I don’t like in the name of political expediency.

Tacy: I think race is the only thing holding Obama back from crushing McCain. I still hope he crushes him.

I made a mistake, Obama voted on the FISA bill, not NISA bill. The full name is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008.

This allows for Warrant-less wiretapping and retroactive immunity of the telecommunications company involved.

Thank you for putting on paper what has been going through my mind every since Palin was nominated. I live in the USA, and I can’t believe that after 8 years of Bush, we might elect another President/VP who are just as bad or worse.

McCain’s pick of Palin was an absolute insult for me. Unfortunately, there are some women out there who are voting for him just because he named a women to the ticket. This sets the woman’s movement back 100 years. Experience? No big deal. What matters is if you look hot.

To top it off, the Christian conservatives love her, even though her own personal life proves that she does not practice what she preaches. She probably conceived her first child before she was married (they eloped hastily; kid was born 8 months later). She supports abstinence only education and yet her unmarried teen daughter is now pregnant.

And the polls are dead even. If Obama loses this election, it is because Americans are racist.

@Angry

I guess you are referring to these word by Biden.

“If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation,” he said, “they will be pursued, not out of vengeance, not out of retribution – out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no one, no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law.”

The only thing is, isn’t it quite obvious that the Bush administration are guilty of impeachable crimes (rendition, torture, illegal wars, etc.)?

Obama himself voted for the NISA bill on the 9th of July, 2008 which is against the US constitution. He may have a way with words but his words and action do not impress me.

@middy C

I am aware that some in the US are opposed to the Bush administration and America direction but there is still so many people in America who see America as the greatest nation on earth (some can’t even find the US on a world map).

I have been against American imperialism for over 17 years but I am still to see the leaders in my own country speak out against it. I ashamed to be called an Australian. This left right two party paradigm must be removed from the face of this earth.

Peace to all.

Dear Mr.AngryNews guy/rest of the world,
Please know that alot of Americans are actually aware of this line of BULLSHIT we are being fed everyday. And alot more are becoming aware! And(this is in response to your piece on the RNC-yes it was a joke), I and many others were stunned to have the same revelation you did about it. (well, not exactly stunned-I am getting used to their lies, still doesn’t make them easier to swallow though)It was a load of SHIT!And you are right, it was like who could say the most f-ed up thing with a straight face contest.
I envy you because you don’t have to live here, actually!
Please know that we are trying, very hard, to make this place right.
I do not believe in who the US is a nation, I think we are arrogant, uncaring, cruel and ridiculous! But those outward actions DO NOT speak for all of the people!!! I believe that we are all one, and the atrocities that we have made out in this world make me so ashamed of my birthplace. The “leadership” of the past eight years has been nothing but a gigantic joke. To you all as well as to us. Only here it’s more serious, because we’re stuck with these dumb asses.
Please know that are trying to make a change. Please know that I(and many others)do NOT subscribe to whatever philosophy GWB and cronies subscribe to. And that we are aware of the lies they are attempting to force feed us.
Thanks & Peace
