But we have a chance to be part of something HISTORIC!

I had an argument with a friend about who to vote for in the 2008 presidential election.  His comment to me was "But we have a chance to be part of something HISTORIC!"  My friend was right, of course. But I don't think this is exactly what he meant.

• First President to Preside Over a Cut to the Credit Rating of the United States Government
• First President to Violate the War Powers Act
• First President to Orchestrate the Sale of Murder Weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels
• First President to be Held in Contempt of Court for Illegally Obstructing Oil Drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
• First President to Defy a Federal Judge's Court Order to Cease Implementing the 'Health Care Reform' Law

I have to wonder why this man still has the support of 41% of Americans?  What has he done to earn the support of anyone?
I suppose the answer to that question is simple after you consider that there are 47 million people collecting foodstamps.  Unemployment benefits for another 15 million people were extended to nearly two years in total. Then there are those that support him purely along political party lines, racial lines or because of favors done for the unions, etc..
 
Why is this man still in office?  Why is he not in prison? 
Several of the items listed above are impeachable offenses, violation of the War Powers Act and orchestrating the sale of weapons to drug cartels, cheif among them.  If found guilty of either of those offenses, it would be prudent to go ahead and charge him as an accessory to the murders of hundreds and possibly thousands of people in both Libya and Mexico.
