When a President has been in office for less then four months an has spent more money then all the other Presidents combined. when the same president runs down his own country. when he passes stimulus packages that puts your great great grandchildren in debt.I think it is time for the Citizens to do something.We as a country put him in the white house (Well not me I voted for the other guy) Why can't we get him out of the white house?

I do not know enough about American affairs to allow me to comment on your internal affairs but so far as I have seen, Internationally, the current president is an immense improvement on his predecessor. I hope he can start to repair the world wide damage Bush caused to the reputation of America and Americans. I wish you and your country a good and peaceful future and maybe Obama can help achieve this. He has a very difficult job to do and needs some time and all the help he can get. I wish him luck and hope he succeeds.

I guess the question should be more like, "Who wants to get him out of the White House...lol?"! The facts are President Obama is still enjoying an approval rating of over 60% and the majority of the people trust him on the economy. Our last President ran his own country into the ground and spent more money than anyone before him.
I'd say that since George W. Bush didn't get impeached there will never be another U.S. President that will be! The bar has been set that low.

Simply put, those aren't grounds for impeachment. Such actions can get governors removed through recalls and votes of no confidence, but the president isn't, and shouldn't be that easy to remove. A president MUST make unpopular decisions sometimes for the good of the nation and can't be subject to the whims of pop culture.
For a president to be impeached their MUST be a clear legal cause as with Nixon and Clinton. In Clinton's case, he got off because his crime wasn't considered by those voting to be egregious enough to remove him from office.
