Liberals worry GOP will attempt to impeach Obama

With the House now firmly in Republican hands, some on the left have and are voicing concerns that the GOP will attempt to impeach President Barack Obama.

While liberals, such as MSNBC’s Ed Schultz, the New Republic’s Jonathan Chait, and various bloggers wring their hands over the sinister hypothetical, the Republican leadership is denying that they have even considered the possibility.

“Liberal commentators are simply making things up,” Republican leader John Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel told The Daily Caller. “We have no plans to [impeach] the President. Our plan is to listen to the American people, who want us to stop the tax hikes, cut spending, repeal and replace ObamaCare, and help create jobs.”

What has been done (BO elected as first AA President) cannot be undone.

When a GOP candidate becomes prominent and successful (Cain, West) in the next few years - it will help remove the scars of BO’s wounds to this Nation.

Be patient and principled.

If the Democrats are smart, they’ll impeach him themselves.

Who wants him impeached? I want him (and his loser wife, mooch-elle) mocked and humiliated for the rest of their pathetic lives.

This is like a play action fake in football. Fake handing off to the running back (impeach Obama) and throw deep for the touchdown (repeal Obamacare). Keep letting them think we’re going to try to impeach him..

[SonOfDarkSkies]

If he were a a witness in a court of law, Obama would have already been impeached (he impeached himself).

He has demonstrated bias (by simply calling those who oppose him--half of America--"the enemy"), a lack of character (no explanation needed), dishonesty/inconsistent statements (no explanation needed), incompetency (no explanation needed)...

That said, before anyone dismisses or takes off the table the topic of a Presidential Impeachment, shouldn't the country at least get to see the evidence before jumping to conclusions.

I don't watch Ed Schultz except when flipping though the channels, but his state of high anxiety makes me wonder if, somewhere in his gut, he knows Obama might be guilty of an impeachable offense.

We have the trifecta (Senate, House and Governor) in so many states now; especially large ones, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

We should leav it up to the states to demand positive proof of eligibility in order to qualify as a candidate on the ballot for President.

They could even demand additional documentation (college transcripts, public documents related to law licenses or DD-214’s).

Impeachment won’t do a damn thing. We need to focus on 2012 and deny him a second term if for no other reason the looming retirement of two more sc justices.

" Nah, don’t take the bait. Notice that it is mostly liberals who float around this issue? I don’t think impeaching him would do any good for us. It’ll just make him a martyr; look at how it worked for Clinton. We need to reverse his policies and take away his ability to make new dangerous policies by de-fund. Another way perhaps to push for stronger BC requirements. "

BS.... it didn't help the Democrats or Clinton at all, there was a Republican President who won in 2000...
The Republicans only lost 2 seats in the House in 2000, and the Democrats only gained 1 seat in the House....
The reason why Republicans in Congress didn't do well in 2000 had nothing to do with Bill Clinton's impeachment, besides, Bill Clinton could not run again in 2000 anyway, so ? how could that have helped Bill Clinton ? ...
The Democrats didn't win the Presidency until 8 years later, 2008... and the Democrats didn't take back Congress until 2006, where as ? the Republicans themselves where to blame for the lose, not Bill Clinton's impeachment.

Liberals would LOVE for the GOP to impeach Obambi. Why? Because not only do they have Biden to fall back on, but they also would be able to get rid of Obama and run Hitlery in 2012. All without having to take any heat from the hard-left base. It’s a win-win for them.

They don’t want the right to “throw them into that briar patch”.

[devere]

Impeachment is for Presidents. Obama is an impostor.

[ex-Texan]

I disagree.

0 was never properly vetted by Democrats. They never confirmed his status as 'a natural born citizen' within the meaning of the law. All evidence says he is a Kenyan by birth and gave up his citizenship when he lived openly as a Muslim overseas. His college records -- hidden away for years -- may in fact show he is not a U.S. citizen.

The King is a fraud. We must show the whole world the truth. Regardless of consequences . . .

Impeach Obama !

More than likely, they will pass a resolution stating that if Palin were president that they would impeach her... and next we will hear how the free market failed and then we have one big republicrat party. They are already lying to us... then stating to the press what they intend to do... which is not what they are telling us. Why are they trashing the Tea Party movement and Palin? They are you know... read the morning articles.

" They won’t impeach Obama, regardless of how bad things get. Just like Clinton, the Senate won’t go along with it and the media will defend him at all costs. It will result in another Democratic rally in elections. "

BS ! the impeachment of Bill Clinton didn't help the Democrats at all in 2000, the Republicans only lost 2 seats in the House in 2000, and Democrats only gained 1 seat... and it was a Republican president who won in 2000, .... impeachment of Obama will help the Democrats is utter propaganda...

He lies about every detail that slithers out of his mouth. The form, substance, background, data, interpretation and meaning of every detail. He lies about his birth, his associates, his appointees, his policies, his activities, his thoughts, his family, everything. It's as if he can't speak a word without turning it into a dozen lies. Does anybody truly believe he has been a citizen from birth. Does anybody truly believe that he rejects the venom of Wright, Ayers, Jones, and hundreds of others, including his own spouse? Does anybody truly believe that he loves this country and wants the best for its people?

I thought your post deserved to be repeated.

The liberals might be worried but are the blue dogs?

[airborne]

1. Make the tax cuts permanent.
2. Defund completely the un-Constitutional 0bamaCare - then work to elimnate every one of the 2,000+ pages.
3. Cut spending - first by ending earmarks.
4. Investigate EVERYTHING 0bama has done to undermine the Constitution, especially the “czars”.

That should keep Congress busy until we vote out more of the elitist bastards in 2012!

“Oh yeah right. Saddle us with a President Biden.”

Biden isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Tell him he is President and he will ask, “President of what?”

He’ll spend the next two years going to Delaware stumping for Coons.

“Liberals worry GOP will attempt to impeach Obama”

I certainly hope they do.

[freekitty]

That is BS.

Does the bullship ever end. Evidently the left is channelling Baghdad Bob.
