There is absolutely no law against it, except if someone is under oath. So drop the Obama part. I don't care your ethical viewpoints about it. It's not illegal. End of discussion.
Yes, the people who lied under oath should he prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. and those are interesting videos you posted there.
The word "perjury" is usually defined today as "lying under oath about a material matter", but that is not its original or complete meaning, which is "violation of an oath". We can see this by consulting the original Latin from which the term comes. From An Elementary Latin Dictionary, by Charlton T. Lewis (1895), Note that the letter "j" is the letter "i" in Latin.
periurium, i, n,, a false oath, perjury.
periurus, adj., oath-breaking, false to vows, perjured. iuro, avi, atus, are, to swear, take an oath.
iurator, oris, m., a swearer.
iuratus, adj., sworn under oath, bound by an oath.
ius, iuris, that which is binding, right, justice, duty.
per, ... IV. Of means or manner, through, by, by means of, ... under pretense of, by the pretext of, ....
By Art. II Sec. 1 Cl. 8, the president must swear: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." He is bound by this oath in all matters until he leaves office. No additional oath is needed to bind him to tell the truth in anything he says, as telling the truth is pursuant to all matters except perhaps those relating to national security. Any public statement is perjury if it is a lie, and not necessary to deceive an enemy.
This thread is completely childish, and shows exactly the mentality of the right. They can't make their case using better legislation, or better leadership, so they go after democrats and try and make them look worse.

Great. Go tell Congress, the Senate and the Supreme Court. Show them your proof.
Let me know how that works out for you.
Under construction, Canada's new $880 million electronic spy HQ in Ottawa, which will spy on Americans and the whole world.
Assume that all your communications are being monitored and we live in a disguised police state already.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE WAY THIS ARTICLE APPEARED MARCH 24, 2012 . IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE BIG PICTURE, THE PIECES WILL FALL INTO PLACE, AND REVELATIONS LIKE EDWARD SNOWDEN'S WILL NOT SURPRISE YOU.
MANKIND IS BEING ENSLAVED BY THE ILLUMINATI CENTRAL BANKING CARTEL IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR MONOPOLY ON CREDIT CREATION. MOST OF OUR POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL "LEADERS" CONSTITUTE A COLONIAL ELITE THAT SERVES THE BANKERS' SATANIC AGENDA. "TERROR' IS MANUFACTURED AS A PRETEXT TO BUILD THIS POLICE STATE.
THE CHARADE MUST END. SOCIETY IS IN DENIAL, AN ACCOMPLICE TO ITS OWN ENSLAVEMENT. THE TURKEY THINKS HE WILL BE A GUEST AT THE FEAST.

CONCLUSION
If we don't care about freedom, how about money? A prelude to taking away our property is taking away our power. The Illuminati do not intend to buy our acquiescence forever. Far too expensive.
These domestic spying measures are designed for a future day after financial collapse, war or martial law.
In the meantime, the sheep continue to graze while the abattoir is built at their expense in plain sight. Accomplices in their own enslavement, they hope their masters will be merciful. It's easier to bury their heads than make their masters accountable. - See more at: henrymakow.com...

Bill Clinton lied to the American people on national TV and was impeached for it. He wasn't under oath.edit on 15-6-2013 by Bilk22 because: (no reason given)
Source
President Clinton was impeached by the House, but acquitted by vote of the Senate. The House approved two articles of impeachment against the President stemming from the President’s response to a sexual harassment civil lawsuit and to a subsequent grand jury investigation instigated by an Independent Counsel. The first article charged the President with committing perjury in testifying before the grand jury about his sexual relationship with a White House intern and his efforts to cover it up;808 the second article charged the President with obstruction of justice relating both to the civil lawsuit and to the grand jury proceedings.

And there is more. Every person in the senate or congress that was aware of the surveillance program, and did nothing to try and protect us, should be removed from office also. Here is their oath:
