Any president can be impeached if the circumstances warrant it. However, only the US House of Representatives can impeach a US President. [Article I, section 2, paragraph 5, clause 2]
Once a President has been impeached (accused), then the Senate would try that President. If and only if two thirds of the Senators voted guilty would that President be removed from office. [Article I, section 3, paragraph 6] For more, please feel free to view a transcript of the Constitution of the United States of America.

But it should be noted that President Obama has a very high satisfaction rate among US citizens and has been elected to the presidency for a second term; thus, it is doubtful that he would be impeached, even if his political opponents wish it would happen.
