We Need to Impeach Obama
Ran into an ironworker on a job yesterday who was convinced that Obama has to go - right now!
"He's going to ruin this country," he said.
"What? Is he going to put us in a war with no end where we waste money under false pretenses?" I asked.
"I hear you. I wasn't a fan of Bush, but economically he's spending way too much money. We don't have that kind of money," he tried.
"Because all the fat cats stole it under the not-so-watchful eye of the last eight years?"
"That wasn't all Bush's fault," he said. "The socialistic approach to government put us in this bind."
Now I had heard that argument before and it is certainly what Rush is preaching, so I let it go. If there's a way to still blame this on Clinton then that's how the argument goes.
"He's been in office for two months," I said. "He's at least trying different things to spur the economy. Doesn't he deserve a chance to see it through?"
"We'll be crippled as a nation if we don't stop it now," my friend said.
"Kind of like we were in September of last year or have been since?"
"Fair point," he said. "But what about global warming - that's all a farce and they're just making everyone scared about that."
I couldn't GAF about the conversation anymore so we switched the discussion to how good-looking Sarah Palin is, how much he hated that a black man was in charge, and how I still stood a chance in the NCAA bracket.
"So that's it?" he asked. "You don't think we should start a movement to get rid of Obama?"
"Actually, you should connect that piece of iron and I should get back to the place where I can write this report," I said. "The fat cats should get back to stealing money and instead of listening to Rush or Hannity we should all switch to sports radio or listen to the new Springsteen CD."
"Ah, Springsteen!" He said. "He's a liberal too! I knew you were a liberal."
I walked away, shaking my head as I laughed it off.
Impeach Obama! Two months in!
Those damn strict conservatives gave him about 40 days longer than I thought they would.
