One of the chief questions facing conservatives is not whether Barack Obama is guilty of impeachable offenses — it is whether Republicans will have the courage to do anything about it once elected. At least one gutsy former Congressman seeking to regain his old seat has the temerity to say impeachment will remain on the table.
Republican Tim Walberg represented Michigan’s 7th Congressional district until Barack Obama’s wave election swept the conservative out of office. Democrat Mark Schauer narrowly defeated Walberg during Michigan’s 2008 Obama blowout, and this November could be a prime time for Walberg to regain his seat from voters in the state hardest hit by Obama’s Great Recession.
Walberg told a town hall audience last week the president should dispel rumors about his eligibility by unveiling his full birth certificate. He stated, “I’m going to take him at his word that he’s an American citizen.” However, the president should show his full, long-form birth certificate to a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers and journalists — including Congressional leaders of both parties, a representative of the judiciary, Alan Colmes, and Rush Limbaugh. Walberg said in that situation, “I would lay out my birth certificate on the table” and tell those who verified it, “Now go and report it.”
The trouble, he said, is that no one is holding the executive branch accountable. The powers of the presidency are such that “the Executive has an awful lot of power to keep from showing certain things unless the courts will stand up to him.”
Then Walberg laid the i-word out on the table.
“Or unless Congress, in majority, will stand up,” he said, “up to and including impeachment.”
This makes Walberg the most outspoken candidate yet to say a lawless president must be held accountable by the constitutional mechanism our Founding Fathers placed at the people’s disposal for the, disposal, of reckless and unconstitutional leaders like Barack Hussein Obama.
(Story continues following the video.)
The double invocation of the president’s birth certificate and the steel-spined courage to impeach the president if necessary is sure to make Walberg a bigger target than he was before the remark.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has launched a direct mail campaign against him. SEIU has spent more than $1.3 million in the last 30 days on midterm elections nationwide. The AFL-CIO has made re-electing Schauer a “top priority.” Schauer recently broke a fundraising record, raking in more than $550,000 in the last fiscal quarter — more than any candidate in his district’s history.
It is clear why Big Labor is muscling up for Schauer — he is perhaps their most servile political asset not currently residing in the White House. The Battle Creek Democrat has compiled a left-wing voting record on virtually every component of the unions’ socialist agenda. He has a perfect, 100 percent voting record from SEIU, the AFL-CIO, the American Federaton of Government Employees, Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the League of Conservation Voters. For years, the greatest comprehensive measure of a candidate’s liberalism was made by the far-Left Americans for Democratic Action; Schauer earned a spot as an “ADA Hero.”
Conversely, he has an eight percent ranking from the National Taxpayers Union and the American Conservative Union. The NRA grades his view of our Second Amendment freedoms a D-.
One could scarcely imagine a greater contrast than his predecessor, Tim Walberg. Walberg, who lives in the tiny town of Tipton, is a former pastor who acted as division manager of Moody Bible Institute before retiring to run for Congress.
With his district’s heavy buyer’s remorse, Schauer has stooped to playing the MediScare card — a tactic fresh from the Democratic talking points of 1964. The ploy is so old it could be eligible for Social Security itself. Schauer whipped up an ad with angry senior citizens screaming Tim Walberg’s name, outraged he called the bankrupt system “worthless” and that Walberg referred to the wealth-transfer as “a Ponzi scheme.” The ad so completely panders (and condescends) to Schauer’s seniors that the actors in the ad reproduce older Michigan voters’ dialect of mispronouncing “Soash-curity.”
(Story continues after video)
But Walberg is right; Social Security is bankrupt and needs to be rethought. MediScare is disingenuous and counterproductive. It is certainly long past time it, and its practitioners, were retired.
If this public servant with a strong moral compass retakes his old seat, it seems unlikely he will be persuaded to look the other way at Obama’s lawlessness. Nor will most Republicans — if conservatives do not declare “victory” with a putatively Republican majority in Congress next month and go home. Instead, we must hold our elected officials’ feet to the fire — as we irresponsibly failed to do after the 1994 and 2000 elections.
If we stand together and demand our servants serve us, impeachment is all but assured. Even Jonathan Chait of The New Republic magazine believes impeachment is a certainty in a GOP-controlled Congress…eventually.
It is the duty of every conservative to assure the move to impeachment is only the first step to restoring a Constitutional government to the halls of power.

Yes Obama needs to be impeached, Obama is not the only problem with America, hence Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Waxman, Globalists: David and Jay Rockefeller, George Soros, Larry Summers, Rahn Emanuel ( jumped ship ), Bill Clinton, Al Gore, George W. Bush, George Herbert Walker Bush, Dick Chaney, Donald Rumsfeld, Maurice Strong, Rothschild, Waxman, All of the Federal Reseve for starters!
Barrack should, in addition to impeachment, be charge with and be subjected to the judicial process with the charge of treason.
His actions, while placed in the office of the Presidency, have weakend our country's ability to defend ourselves against enemies (foreign and those within our country).
How incongrous our current situation is: the number one threat to the safety and security of our country is the currently seated president,
I don't believe that George W. Bush had anything to do with the mess our country is in now. Neither is his father. Bush took over after Clintons mess. that's what he had to deal with. You want to blame someone, blame the Democrats who have been in there like forever, and President Obummer. He's the one who's destroyiing our country.

Obama needs to be shown HE is not the law and the people want him held accountable and impeached if he is quilty…which I believe he is in several different ways. He is so arrogant, cocky, self-serving, etc. that he thinks he can not be touched! I say to Congress "Put some teeth in the law and go after him!" Bring him down and then go after the rest, whether they be Democrat or Republican or Independent.

I'd love to debate Obama and embarass him. He's clever, but not as clever as me. I ranked 74th in the world on an intelligence test. You all might be interested in some of my ideas and writings about politics, social issues and Obama:

TRUST but VERIFY…The founders gave us the blueprint for maintaining constitutional governance. Their most important legacy was to declare the only means of preserving our constitution is VIGILANCE.
We citizens are the only force capable of protecting America from a death spiral. We must stay on the neck of Congress like stink on feces. We can destroy all threats to the Nation, foreign and domestic!

A copy of Obama's Kenya birth certificate was sent to all members of Congress. Threats have been made against Pastor Manning as he will be releasing the transcripts of a trial where Obama was convicted on 17 counts. What's wrong with this Government that they close their eyes to the American people. Yes, it's called corruption!
I'd like to see these transcripts myself…..I've always known that he wasn't a US citizen. He's an illegal alien. We need to get him out of the White House…..one way or another.

Populations wouldn’t knowingly consent to their own demise. But distracted, naïve, ignorant citizens, by their consent, relinquish their liberties by placing their trust in others, (1) two-faced lying politicians who have abandoned the constitution and sold their souls and, (2) the persuasive profit-driven elite media. Smiling talking heads and brilliant, fast-talking female lawyers in low-cut garments legitimize immodesty while peddling infotainment disguised as news. They equivocate among themselves over the Neocon’s next war target which they claim is necessary to keep America safe. While selling their illusions and building our perceptions, what to wear, eat, drink, think and who to fear, they conceal, suppress or gloss over stories that are actually pertinent to our lives.

O needs impeached. IF the media wasn't in his pocket we would have all seen the proof that he's not constitutionally eligible! The Truth is out there!!

Tim Walberg sounds just like the typical weak-kneed Republican that has become the downfall of the Republican Party! He "takes Obama at his word" that he has a legitimate U.S. birth certificate! Obama's words are not worth even listening to after so many lies…but this Republican gives him credence! THEN look at who he picks to view and examine any supposedly legitimate birth certificate that just might be produced….a small "hand-picked" group which includes, OF ALL PEOPLE, "Nancy Pelosi", the corrupted major media outlets & pundants and just maybe ONE Supreme Court Justice (most probably Sotomayer or Keagan!) THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF REPUBLICANS THAT WILL SAVE AMERICA! We need to have people with strong fortitude with the tenacity of a bull dog to go after the corrupted DC scum that opened the doors to this "Usurper in Chief" fraud in the oval office….NOT a "Mr. Milktoast" like Tim Walberg! We have had ENOUGH of your style of "Republican"……TAKE A WALK!

It does not take a rocket scientist to SEE that obama was not, is not and never will be eligible to hold the office he is now occupying! At best, he has dual citizenship, at worst NONE! Someone with a second grade education could read and see for themselves that the CONSTITUTION clearly says that NO ONE but a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN shall occupy the office. NO ONE with DUAL citizenship shall occupy the office of President! How much clearer can you get? ALL the ones in on this hoax should be put in prison as this is an act of TREASON! It does not MATTER IF he was born in Hawaii because, like I said he has, at best, DUAL citizenship as his father was a KENYAN…a BRITISH subject!

Impeachment is not enough. He needs to be proven ineligible, or all his czars and bills he signed will stay in place. We need the whole corrupt administration thrown out and the White House and Capital fumigated. Of course we'd have to deport all the illegal immigrants currently in jail to make room for all the new batch of criminals.

Impeachment is nice, in that it is a public censure of a politicians behavior. However, it doesnt really stop them or remove them forcibly from office. Nixon, for all his faults had the good sense to leave office for the sake OF the office. Willian Jefferson Clinton did NOT. Slick Willy hung in there to the bitter end, doing as much damage as he could. Comrade Clinton is still out there now and spreading his lies and Dizinformation. Imprisonment for Un-American activities makes more sense to me. If we had a fully functioning Education and Media system, the Liberal/ Progressive's ideas and activities would be rejected and opposed by most if not all. The Liberals control education, media and for most parts the courts. Our society needs a total cleaning out of Liberal/Progessive persuasion and control. However, I'm not sure the duplicitous and morally weak Republicans are up to the task.

We're well past impeachment; that would NOT do the job we want done! Barry soetoro is even more arrogant and narcisitic than "slick willy", who STILL stayed in the oval office, even after he was impeached. What is needed is US military arrest, for high crimes AND TREASON and our new Congress will have the POWER TO ORDER IT DONE!
You're voice is totally on track. I've been saying this for a long time now. If they just go the "Impeachment" route, he's got too many evil connections and he would not stand not to have the last word. Even imprisonment leaves the connection open, unless we send IT, It's wife, and all of his henchmen and women to either Alcatraz ( by San Francisco. CA) where the only way out is by swimming with the great whites waiting for a huge meal, if the maggot infested meat doesn't kill them), send them all to Guantonimo (sp), and/or use the firing squad or the gallos. They all deserve nothing better. Otherwise, this will continue and never go away. It's either us or them and I don't plan on going anywhere. Even if Congress ordered it so, I really don't think we'd ever be rid of the "Black Plague".
