[From article]
Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate, blasted President Barack Obama on Saturday and demanded his removal from office.
The tea party speaking-circuit darling said at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Colorado that talk of impeachment 'has got him nervous.'
Condemning the White House's response to a swarm of illegal immigrants cascading across the U.S.-Mexico border, she accused Obama of 'not defending [America's] borders and called it a 'dereliction of duty, violating the oath of office.'
'If that's not impeachable, then nothing is,' she said to generous applause. 'And if he's not impeachable, no one is.'
[. . .]
In addition to immigration – 'amnesty' in conservative parlance – she rattled off a list of scandals including the mistreatment of veterans by VA health centers; a cover-up about the 2012 terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya; Justice Department spying on journalists, the IRS's alleged pattern of targeting conservative nonprofits for undue scrutiny; and the president's unilateral changes to his medical insurance overhaul law.
Obama, she said, is 'spinning from one scandal to another scandal. He has vertigo.'
[. . .]
Palin showed her comfort with hyperbole, comparing his administration to an organized crime syndicate whose capo is insulated from responsibility by staying at arm's length from murder and mayhem.
Obama, she said, can't 'feign ignorance of all of this, any more than a mob boss can claim innocence because, well, "he didn't personally do the hit." The buck stops with the guy at the top.'
Saying Obama has fashioned himself more as 'a ruler, not a president,' she brought some to their feet by declaring that American colonists 'had a revolution in 1776 because we don't do kings.'

'We had a revolution in 1776 because we don't do kings,' she shouted, saying Obama has made himself 'a ruler, not a president'
