    Everyone knows he is a failure(has no leadership capability) and he has even admitted he is a failure---so why not set up a meeting between him and select members of Congress and the Joint Chiefs of Staff and make him an offer he cannot refuse?

    He won the election, maybe the GOP should run candidates that don't have car elevators, like NASCAR owners and lastly think that 47% don't pay anything in taxes and expect a check from government.

    GOP had 8% unemployment, lagging jobs reports, sluggish GDP growth AND STILL LOST an election that should have been a slam dunk.

    Obviously, all those who voted for him are no good for the country. Which in a two party system (or so I am led to believe) is more than half of the vote.

    Best ensure they are all in one place at one time and drone them. After all, they aren't REAL Americans, are they?

    Any deal made should have the stipulation Biden must also get out of town.

    The way this could actually work would be for the Joint Chiefs to declare a state of emergency and institute martial law....basically a coup d etat....after a brief period they could call for another election....hopefully by that time the Nation would have come to its senses.

    Or else what?
    President Obama' approval rating: 49%

    Everyone? It seems to me that you are looking at the world through a Conservatives spectacles.

    Congress's approval rating? 15%- Democrats 19%, Republicans 12%(up from 6% in January!)

    Sounds to me like you just want a good old Third World style coupe since you lost the election.

    Why do Conservatives despise our Constitution so much?

    The first President to win both terms with more than 51% of the vote since Eisenhower. Seems most Americans who bothered to vote (in my opinion the only ones who matter - didn't vote your opinion is worthless) don't think he is a failure. Could he have been more successful if the Republicans had not done everything in their power to derail his presidency, yes. Most people blame Congress and especially the Republicans for failing to deal with our problems, at least in the reality based world.

    Seriously you really despise the U.S. Constitution don't you?

    Aside from the fact that you are asking for a coup d etat to overthrow an election, you also recommend that the Joint Chief's abrogate power instead of using the Constitution's succession laws.

    The delusional fantasy life of Senator Graham's frustrated "angry white guys" knows no rational bounds.

    Funny, funny stuff!

    Should Obama resign?

    Even if you believe he SHOULD, ultimatley the decision is his.

    I don't see him, or any president really, volunteering to resign.

    The smallest minds are those who are too stupid/arrogant to even comprehend how little they know. Obama represents this better than any individual I know of. If he had any idea of how ignorant, untested and inexperienced he was, he never would have run for office to begin with.

    I honestly don't blame Obama that much. He is what he is. It's the American people I blame. The idea that we can literally have anyone get elected, not just once, but twice, to the Presidency simply by being a good campaigner is the biggest failure of the American people since the South rose to rebellion in 1861.

    Obama is a lot better choice than Romney. but not Gary Johnson....

    This is not all of Obama's fault.

    The whole political atmosphere of Washington is crushing the US. They all should resign.:thumbsdown:

    I personally supported Ron Paul on common sense alone and believe he deserved a shot. Hell I'm new to the scene but I don't know of anyone who loss the presidential campaign so badly and yet still is working hard on what he proposed regardless of his position in America. Talk about delivering without pay.

    Pure overblown rhetoric on my part- I agree.

    The OP does- but most Americans- including Conservatives do not.

    Most conservatives do believe in the Constitution. That's what creates half the problems. Libs want to change it. We don't. Generally speaking. There are obviously some exceptions.

    See here you go again.

    Liberals want the Constitution to be protected exactly as much as Conservatives- we all just disagree on what that is.

    I readily admit that when I accused all Conservatives of despising the Constitution that I was intentionally being hyperbolic- frankly I get tired of hearing the same thing from Conservatives all the time, and I shouldn't have let myself be goaded into doing the same thing- shame on me.

    Most Americans do believe in the Constitution- but our disagreement on what that means is why the Supreme Court is kept busy.

    According to the Declaration of Independence. Not only do we have the right to overthrow your government, it is a responsibility placed on us by our founding fathers. If our government betrays us, acts other then in accordance to our wishes or we feel changes need to be made it is our obligation to do so.

    Selected quotes by Jefferson about 'rebellion': "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them." --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356
    "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere." --Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.
    "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [i.e., securing inherent and inalienable rights, with powers derived from the consent of the governed], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315
    "We think experience has proved it safer for the mass of individuals composing the society to reserve to themselves personally the exercise of all rightful powers to which they are competent and to delegate those to which they are not competent to deputies named and removable for unfaithful conduct by themselves immediately." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:487

    Thanks for confirming how much you despise the U.S. Constitution.

    I love how republicans call Obama a failure as a leader, when he has done the same things Bush did, but Bush somehow is a great leader and should be honored.
