Sorry, this is BS. Poor black neighborhoods might burn, but that is it. There won't be riots in my neighborhood. Why don't we just let the whole country turn to ruin instead?
Look at where the elites live.
Look at the perception of impeaching the first black president would be.
No one will do it
That’s true.
There are two points about impeachment. The first is, can a conviction be obtained and the impeached officeholder removed from office?
The second, and perhaps more important one, is whether impeachment will prove a net positive benefit. Impeachment is an inherently political act; the political consequences must be taken into consideration.
So impeachment, even when there’s no chance of conviction, may make sense because it ultimately drives a positive outcome. This is how I’d classify the Clinton impeachment: it not only exposed his behavior to the public (and for posterity) but also wrecked his last two years in office AND helped wreck the chances of his hand-picked successor from becoming President.
In the case of Obama, I see a net negative. The impeachment will be portrayed as racist. Conservatives will be portrayed as nutcase extremists. Average Americans, who are concerned about the economy, Obamacare and jobs (three issues Conservatives can and will win on) will get pissed at what they see as political nonsense.
Uncle Remus is instuctive here. Obama is Brer Rabbit. Impeachment is the Briar Patch. He WANTS to go there, and in the absence of substantive attempts by the GOP to send him there, his media allies are the ones throwing him in, and blaming then Conservatives for it.
