The stupidity is in the lack of ability to do simple math. You need 13 Democrat votes to impeach Obama. Not going to happen, no way, no how. So you go through the whole process and all you do is raise a fire storm because you’re trying to impeach the first black president. The Democrats get down on their knees six times a day to pray that the Republicans are stupid enough to do this. Obama would end up with increase popularity just like Clinton did.

Only two U.S. presidents have ever been impeached and, even though neither were removed from office, it still leaves a nasty stain on their legacy. (Don’t believe me? Ask anyone you know what the first thing is that comes to mind when hearing Bill Clinton’s name and they will almost certainly bring up Monica Lewinsky.) I will concede that in Obama’s evil and diabolical world, he would likely view impeachment as a vehicle to martyrdom. Even so, this not an excuse to take this constitutional remedy off the table. Simply allowing the Kenyan Marxist to get away with violating our Constitution’s separation of powers and his flagrant usurpation of Congress should NOT be an option.
Just curious, what makes you so sure Obama’s popularity would increase if he were to be impeached? I don’t see how anything could ever make Obama popular again at this stage and I think it’s a mistake to use Clinton as a frame of reference. As despicable as Bubba’s sexual indiscretions and acts of perjury were, I would argue they actually PALE in comparison to the lawlessness, recklessness, and destruction that represents Obama’s tyranny and blatantly unconstitutional actions.
I’m not sure Obama particularly cares about his legacy. His self-stated goal is to “fundamentally transform America.” I am pretty certain that if he succeeds in that goal, he won’t give a flying fig what people think about his legacy.
