> Last week Rep. Michelle Bachmann was asked what Republicans had in mind
> should they retake the House of Representatives this November, she replied
> "I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after
> another and expose all the nonsense that is going on."
> Considering the sheer volume of illegal and impeachable offences committed
> by Obama and his cohorts over the past couple of years, the House will be
> very busy indeed.
> Putting aside Obama's inept leadership, weakening of our national defenses
> and transparent attempt to socialize our great nation, there are a number of
> more practical crimes that once investigated could lead to Obama's
> impeachment and perhaps even his well deserved imprisonment.
> 25 Obama Crimes the House Should Investigate in 2011
> 1. Convicted felon and Chicago real estate developer Tony Rezko's
> purchase of land adjacent to Obama's house in Hyde Park, IL. In 2006, Rezko
> sold a 10 foot strip of his property to Obama for $104,500, rendering the
> remainder of Rezko's $625,000 investment too small to be developed and, for
> all intents and purposes, worthless.
> 2. The provision of Obama campaign donor lists to ACORN in 2007 and
> 2008, more complete than the ones he provided to the FEC. ACORN used the
> lists to raise money for Obama's election from donors who had already maxed
> out their legally allowable contributions.
> 3. Widespread voter fraud including voter intimidation, ballot
> stuffing, falsified documents, and threats of violence against Hillary
> Clinton supporters committed by the Obama campaign and ACORN during the 2008
> Democrat primary election. For more information see my CFP article How Obama
> Used an Army of Thugs to Steal the 2008 Democratic Party Nomination.
> 4. Obama's refusal to release his long form birth certificate which
> would show conclusively that he is a dual citizen and therefore not
> constitutionally eligible to serve as President. Obama's college records,
> which have also not been released, would also contain information regarding
> his dual citizenship status.
> 5. Protecting union interests over those of GM and Chrysler bond
> holders during bankruptcy proceedings, forcing investors to accept millions
> of dollars in losses in direct violation of bankruptcy laws, money to which
> they were legally entitled.
> 6. Preferential treatment given to minority and women owned car
> dealerships by Obama administration officials as part of the auto industry
> bailout program and the forced closing of a disproportionate number of rural
> dealerships located in areas that did not vote for Obama.
> 7. Unsubstantiated firing of Corporation for National and Community
> Service Inspector General Gerald Walpin for exposing Sacramento Mayor and
> Obama supporter Kevin Johnson's misuse of an $850,000 AmeriCorps grant.
> 8. Purchase of Congressional support for the passage of Obama's
> healthcare bill including the "Cornhusker Kickback", "Louisiana Purchase"
> and having the Department of Interior increase water allocations to the
> Central Valley of California to secure the votes of Democrat Reps. Dennis
> Cardoza and Jim Costa.
> 9. Lying to the American people by promising they could keep their
> healthcare coverage if they wanted to, when in reality tens of millions will
> be forced out of their current plans.
> 10. Attempted bribery of Rep. Joe Sestak with job offers to get him to
> drop out of the Senate primary race against Sen. Arlen Specter.
> 11. Directing the EPA to unilaterally set carbon emission standards,
> thus bypassing Congress which opposes Obama's energy reform bill. For more
> information see my CFP article Forget Cap and Trade: EPA Regulation of CO2
> Emissions Will Begin in 10 Months.
> 12. The Obama administration's statement that a panel of experts had
> agreed with their plan for a 6 month Gulf Coast drilling moratorium, when in
> actuality none of them had supported the measure.
> 13. Bullying BP to set up a $20 billion slush fund to compensate Gulf
> Coast businesses and residents affected by the oil spill, to be administered
> by an Obama political appointee without any judicial or congressional
> oversight.
> 14. Implementing a third oil-drilling moratorium after the first two
> were thrown out of court, creating a de facto Gulf Coast offshore drilling
> ban in opposition to two judge's rulings.
> 15. Establishment of a commission to investigate the Gulf Coast oil
> spill that contains not one oil industry expert and whose transparent
> purpose is to push a partisan political agenda rather than investigate the
> cause of the disaster.
> 16. Obama's policy of intentionally not securing our nation's borders,
> in opposition to Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution which calls for
> the President to protect states from foreign invasion, in an attempt to
> blackmail Republican support for comprehensive immigration reform. In
> essence, Obama is holding border states and residents politically hostage
> during a time they are being overrun by a narco-paramilitary invasion.
> 17. Department of Justice illegal race based policies regarding voter
> fraud as exposed by former Justice attorney J. Christian Adams. This
> includes the dropping of voter intimidation charges against 2 Black Panthers
> brandishing weapons in front of a voting location in Philadelphia and the
> stated intention by political appointees to ignore voter crimes committed by
> African Americans, Latinos and other minorities.
> 18. Department of Justice purposefully allowing some states to continue
> their disenfranchisement of military personnel serving overseas in direct
> opposition to the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act,
> which was established in response to the more than 17,000 military votes
> that were not counted in the 2008 election because ballots had arrived after
> the deadline.
> 19. Recess appointment of Donald Berwick as head of the Centers for
> Medicare and Medicaid Services without even a token attempt to put him
> through the Congressional nomination process, signaling that Congress's
> constitutional obligation to vet presidential appointees means nothing to
> Obama. The same can be said of the 30+ Obama administration czars.
> 20. Spending $23 million of taxpayer money through the U.S. Agency for
> International Development (USAID) to support a constitutional referendum in
> Kenya in spite of the Siljander Amendment, which makes it illegal for the
> U.S. to lobby for abortion in other countries. The Kenyan referendum was
> partially written by Planned Parenthood and is designed to legalize abortion
> in that nation.
> 21. The participation of the Obama administration in the firing of
> Sherry Sherrod from the USDA without due process because of publicized out
> of context remarks she made at a NAACP meeting in March 2010.
> 22. The White House sham investigation of BP's involvement in the
> release of the mass murdering Lockerbie bomber from prison. The Obama
> administration not only knew beforehand of the Scottish government's plan to
> set Abdel Baset al-Megrahi free on "compassionate" grounds, they even sent a
> letter to Scottish authorities stating their preference for his remaining in
> Scotland over his transfer to a Libyan prison.
> 23. The canceling of 77 properly filed oil field development contracts
> approved by the Bush administration by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar,
> preventing the extraction of up to 3 trillion gallons of oil buried under
> Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and North Dakota, more than enough to end our
> dependence on foreign oil and supply the U.S. with its energy needs for
> hundreds of years at current consumption rates.
> 24. Investigations by the Department of Homeland Security to determine
> the political affiliation of people making Freedom of Information Act
> requests and the subsequent delay and even altogether ignoring of requests
> made by Republican affiliated individuals.
> 25. The hardest to prosecute in court, but worst crime of all that Obama
> has perpetrated against the American people is the economic tyranny that his
> socialist policies have wrecked upon our nation. While Obama has been living
> the life of a king, including frequent 5 star vacations, dozens of concerts
> at the White House and endless rounds of golf, all paid for by taxpayer
> money-the increased transportation and security costs alone are in the
> millions of dollars-he has called for the rest of us to endure economic
> sacrifice. The annual trillion dollar deficits and borrowing of 41 cents of
> every dollar of government spending by Obama is leading to unsustainable and
> potentially catastrophic debt.
> Something to Look Forward to
> These 25 crimes are just what I've been able to dig up over the past couple
> of weeks. No doubt there are many more that I have missed or still as yet
> undiscovered. While any one may be sufficient to impeach Obama, taken as a
> whole it demonstrates that Obama has little to no regard for the rule of
> law.
> I look forward to a Republican controlled House of Representatives
> uncovering Obama's corrupt dealings and exposing this man as unworthy of the
> office of President.
