No, they impeached him for perjury in his testimonies to the grand jury in regards to the Ken Starr's case, obstruction of justice in regards to the Paula Jones case back in 1994 when he was still governor, where she accused him of dropping his pants and asking her to perform a blow job, and perjury in the Paula Jones case.

Some reading for the shill.
gop lawmaker's bill would block obama deportation policy
by pete kasperowicz
rep. David schweikert (r-ariz.) on monday proposed legislation that would block enforcement of president obama's new policy of letting certain illegal immigrants request temporary relief from deportation.
Schweikert's bill would specifically prohibit the department of homeland security from allowing that relief, which obama described on friday as an option for up to 800,000 immigrants who came to the united states illegally at a young age. Schweikert said his bill would prevent obama from "dictating" immigration law from the white house.
"last week, the president decided to grant amnesty and hand out work permits to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, while over 23 million americans remain unemployed and the civilian participation rate is at a 30-year low," he said monday. "this amounts to an abdication of duty to the american people who are struggling in this economy.
"instead of working with congress to secure our border and reform our immigration policy, president obama sought to circumvent congress once again."
on friday, obama said the dhs would immediately allow people who don't pose a national security risk to ask for temporary relief from deportation proceedings and apply for work authorization. While schweikert's bill would prevent dhs from enforcing executive orders on immigration, obama's policy change came only in the form of a memo on prosecutorial discretion from homeland security secretary janet napolitano, not an executive order.
Republicans have continued to criticize obama's announcement as a political ploy to win over minority voters in the november election, one that consciously seeks to avoid enforcement of laws on the books.
On monday, house republicans blasted the decision as one that ignores the primary role of congress in writing immigration laws, and said congress needs to fight back against the selective enforcement of these laws.
Senate majority leader harry reid (d-nev.) and other senate democrats welcomed the move, and reid said the decision is appropriate in large part because congress has been unable to act on immigration reform.
House republicans on tuesday morning continued to rail against the obama announcement. Aside from opposing what they call the selective enforcement of u.s. Immigration law, they argued that by letting illegal aliens apply for work authorization, obama is forcing unemployed u.s. Citizens to compete with non-citizens.
"the white house decree is bad for america," said rep. Mo brooks (r-ala.). "it is unconscionable for the white house to pit unemployed americans against illegal aliens in a competition for scarce jobs."
"it would be nice if the president was as concerned about the 23 million americans looking for work in america as he is about the 12 million undocumented individuals the president claims are looking for work in america," rep. Ted poe (r-texas) added.

Some reading for the shill and/or those actively engaging in lying (via omission).
http://www.factcheck.org/2011/07/did...act-dream-act/
Especially considering Obama has set record numbers for deportation - yes, even more than Bush. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/1...n_1018002.html (Yes, Huffpolol just to tweak some poster's noses, but feel free to check any of the numerous sources on this. And yes, they use the same metric as the Bush administration too, for when someone tries to drag out that tired old fallacy.)
I love the hypocrisy. Seriously. One poster in particular in this thread constantly accuses Obama of lying, of having ulterior motives, and more - and then engages in that very behavior himself.

isnt huffington post the same publication that said obama has spent less than other presidents because they artibuted the stimulus bill with bush?
but nice strawman, saying he's deported more people than anyone else is completely outside the point/argument.
that's like saying justin beiber was better than kurt cobain because kurt cobain never had the #1 twitter account following.
also, factcheck is a partisan website.

Obama is supposed to be "soft" on immigrants, he's supposed to be giving them a backdoor into the country according to what you claim. Now you are doing a 180 on that point.
Obama has deported record numbers of illegal immigrants, and has substantially increased deportation of criminals and others. In fact, criminal deportations compared to the Bush administration has increased by 80%.
80%.
Do you know what he's doing Brainy? He's telling the deportation services "Focus on the criminals, the gangs, and the threats. We have a limited amount of resources to employ against deportation of illegal aliens, and we need to focus on the threats first."
Of course, if you are proposing to give ICE an unlimited budget, then I am certain they can do everything you want them to do Brainy. But the reality is they have a limited budget, and have been directed to focus on criminals. Not only this, but they have been deporting a record number of illegal aliens.
And then you throw the "But that's not the poiiinnntttt! Wahh wahhh wahhh!" bullshit. Yeah, I called it that Brainy - BS. By the numbers, Obama's been the toughest president on illegal immigration of any of them. You are taking a very specific stance and trying to warp and twist what is happening into something entirely different.
Guess what? If you give ICE an unlimited budget, sure. They can deport all of the illegal immigrants in the US. That's not a problem. But they don't have an unlimited budget, and Obama directed them to employ prosecutorial discretion and focus on the criminals and the threats to the US before non-criminals.
that's like saying justin beiber was better than kurt cobain because kurt cobain never had the #1 twitter account following.
No, that's like saying you can't say Obama isn't tough on illegal immigration when he has set record numbers enforcing immigration laws. By the numbers, using statistics and actual facts instead of partisan BS, Obama is the toughest president we have on record against illegal immigration.
also, factcheck is a partisan website.
I know, I know Brainy. When the hard facts aren't on your side, they are partisan and/or leftist. Here's one for you, let's try Snopes.http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/dreamact.asp
I mean, Snopes is leftist and partisan too, amirite?
I find this particularly hilarious because I specifically remembering you linking a crazily biased and partisan piece, and when I called you on it, you went around crying about "But they are HARD FACTS!!!" What happened to your stance on hard facts, boo? Or do you only get to play that card when it supports your positions, and not when it doesn't support it?

no, hell change the topic completely, says retarded things, link a bunch of articles that have nothing to do with what we are talking about, call us all hypocrites, never respond directly to anything specific we say about the issue, then laugh as he still claims to be a non-partisan libertarain and thinks he's better than us all.
i always want to argue with him, but all i can read is "herp derp," anytime I see his posts.

Let's take a look at what you've posted.
"instead of working with congress to secure our border..."
And let's take a look at this,
On monday, house republicans blasted the decision as one that ignores the primary role of congress in writing immigration laws, and said congress needs to fight back against the selective enforcement of these laws.
This is what you are getting your panties in a bunch about. And what my previous two posts called you out on.
Obama directs ICE to deport convicted murderers, rapists, gang members, etc. with a higher priority - and you say..
honestly, the president should be impeached for this, among other things.
Oh, and lets take a look at what the actual executive order states. Check my previous posts for links detailing it.
Illegal immigrants who meet a great deal of conditions detailed in said links in previous post can apply for a deferment of prosecution. This, first off, saves ICE a great deal of money. The illegal immigrants are giving ICE information that normally costs ICE a great deal of money to acquire. Secondly, if they violate any of the conditions, deportation proceedings are begun against them - all at a much cheaper cost to ICE, while allowing ICE to focus on much higher priorities, i.e. murderers and rapists.
And I'll eagerly await your "WAHHHHH! But you're doing ALL THIS and you are SO MEAN to me about it!" response while you are (ironically) completely avoiding responding to me while simultaneously trying to make fun of me about supposedly not responding to you.
