The same way your hero George W did.
Hold a seat on the UN Security council while being POTUS
Where does is say that this is illegal/not allowed
Buy votes to pass bills
This is american politics. simple as that. Bush, Clintin, Bush, regan, carter, LBJ, JFK.......... They all did it. LBJ bought some serious votes to get social security passed. It's a mentality of you scrath my back I'll scratch yours.
Taunt the Supream Justices in front of the branches of gov
Maybe that would be beacuse they just a very important law that basiclly allows a company to buy the presidency and congress and any other political office they want outright.
Not produced a ligit birth document
Here we go again!!!!
Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5
check this site it has US code Title 8, chapter 12 subchapter III part 1 section 1401. Pay close attention to paragraph g. Now this only applies if Obama was not born in the states.

Also he has shown the same amount of documentation that any other POTUS has had to show. Why should he have to show more? Lets face it if he should you birthers everything then you would still say he was ineligible.
Approve bail outs against the public will
Well so did bush. Bush did the first round of bailouts. Sometimes a leader has to do what is right and not liked rather then what is liked and wrong. The bailouts worked. I hated the idea of them but they worked.
Constantly attacking the rule of law to pass bills
I hope your not talking about reconciliation. That has been used over 20 times since it was made law. hell even bush used it to put his tax cuts through
Fire Attorneys that are investigating ACORN without cause to protect his connections.

But seriously, the race card and the "you shoulda seen George Bush" arguments are the best you got?
Well the race card come out because like it or not some people do not want a black PONUS and will do anything to see him fail.
As far as impeachable offense? Illegal seizure of company assets and ownership with taxpayer money?
Are you talking about the Bank and auto indistry bailouts. There was nothing illegal about it. Please show how this illegal. He gave them a loan under the conditions that the government would hold a controlling stake in the company. Once the loan with intrest was paid then they would release their controlling share. The banks and auto indistry had a choice to accept this or not.
Trying to enstate a governmental mandate that requires me to purchase any product or service, regardless of intentions, is a violation of my liberties... least I should be able to do is sue him...(hopefully this is dead and a moot point)
Sorry to say it seems like you are one of the many that were fooled. under the public option (which is dead) the only people forced to get insurence were businesses. If you didnt want it you never needed to get it.
As far as purchasing votes, the Louisiana purchase and the 6 billion dollar hospital to Pennsylvania(i believe it was) both qualify as preferential treatment to certain states which in essence is bribery to ensure passage of the Health Care bill. Those were just two such items, there were several others that blatantly got certain states extras for their vote.
Yes your right it is preferntial treatment and this type of this was happening long before Obama was in office
