When taking office, the President does not swear to create jobs. He does not swear to “grow the economy.” He does not swear to institute “fairness.” The only oath the President takes is this one:
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.
By sending — literally — brownshirted enforcers to engage in — literally — a midnight knock at the door of a man for the non-crime of embarrassing the President of the United States and his administration, President Obama violated that oath. You can try to pretty this up (It’s just about possible probation violations! Sure.), or make excuses or draw distinctions, but that’s what’s happened. It is a betrayal of his duties as President, and a disgrace.

FOR VIOLATING HIS OATH OF OFFICE, OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN OR BE IMPEACHED
I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully executethe Office of President of the United States,and will to the best of my ability,preserve, protect and defendthe Constitution of the United States.
BY APOLOGIZING TO THE JIHADISTS WHO ATTACKED OUR EMBASSIES AND MURDERED OUR DIPLOMATS, AND BY DECRYING THE FREE SPEECH OF HIS FELLOW AMERICANS, OBAMA HAS VIOLATED HIS OATH OF OFFICE.
FOR THIS REASON, OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN OR BE IMPEACHED.
REGULAR READERS KNOW WE SCOOP THE BIGGIE ALL THE TIME.

I know you won't approve it. But it's true. Sorry.
In my view, Obama knowingly violated his oath of office. This violation was no accident!
