33% of Americans now believe that Obama should be removed from office. -CNN 57% of republicans, 35% of independents and 13% of democrats say Obama should go. Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin called for impeachment over Obama's handling of the border crisis and Rep. John Boehner (R) is suing Obama for executive overreach. A Senior adviser for Obama concedes that an impeachment attempt may happen.
My Comment:
Once again, Sarah Palin is an idiot. I completely agree that Obama should be impeached, but not for something as stupid as the border issue. The president needs to have committed high crimes or misdemeanors in relation to the issue for him to be removed and no such thing has happened in the border. That being said I do think Obama very likely did break the law in several scandals that he should answer for. First there was the gun running case that everyone conveniently forgot about, Fast and Furious. Secondly there is the ongoing IRS scandal. Third, there was the targeting of reporters for surveillance. And finally, the NSA scandal.
As much as i would love to see Obama go, it's probably the wrong thing to do politically for republicans. The effort to remove Bill Clinton backfired horribly, and that was with a media that was still at least pretended to not be for the president. The media would spin it as petty revenge and if Republicans use Sarah Palin's suggestion, they would actually have a point. Republicans would be wise to focus on winning the mid-term elections and finding good presidential candidates.
