No because it didn't work on Slick Willy.

The left tried to impeach Bush, try him for war crimes, etc.

How can you even attempt to overthrow the most powerful person in the world without pulling a JFK or voting them out of office?

It just ain't happening.

You don't impeach someone just because he's ignorant and unqualified for the job.

No reason to go through all the red tape of impeaching him, he's not worth the cost to the tax payers IMO. He'll be fired come 2 more years.

I'm counting the days.

The only thing you can do is make the best of it, hope he doesn't sell us off to China, disarm all of us, tell us who our doctors can be, or let North Korea nuke us into oblivion I think we'll all be ok.

Yes, without a doubt they will try.

It boggles my mind as to how someone as intelligent as Barack Obama could allow himself to be put into such a situation. The mid term elections were the Democrats to lose, and that's eactly what they did; not through miscalculation or underestimation, they simply did not put up much of a fight. It's crazy how they allowed the Republicans to gain the upper hand. Obama will have to be a modern day Cicero in order to outmanuever the republicans and survive impeachment and re-election.

The goal would not be to successfully impeach him, but to embarrass him before the whole world.

Not unless they find he committed a crime.

I might sympathize with Obamas' uphill battle if it wasn't his own undoing, if he wasn't blowing 200 million a day to visit India, and if he didn't blame Americans for being incapable to see things his way.

Wishful thinking. Obama would crush any--AND I MEAN ANY--Republican running for president. He has way more charisma than any legitimate Republican. That's why the Republicans will need impeachment if they'll have any chance of winning in 2012.
