The idea of impeaching Obama is industrial-strength insane. Republicans will probably try anyway, predicts Michael Tomasky.
When the histories of this administration are written, I hope fervently that last Friday, May 10, does not figure prominently in them. But I fear that it might: the double-barrel revelations that the White House hasn’t quite been telling the whole story on Benghazi and that some mid-level IRS people targeted some Tea Party groups for scrutiny are guaranteed to ramp up the crazy. But to what extent? I fear it could be considerable, and the people in the White House damn well better fear the same, or we’re going to be contemplating an extremely ugly situation come 2015, especially if the Republicans have held the House and captured the Senate in the by-elections.
Let me clarify a point that’s been going around. On MSNBC Friday, I broached the I-word. You know the one. Three syllables. Links Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton. I said something like: I have little doubt the Republicans would try to pursue it—something I’ve written dozens of times without readers really batting an eye. But I guess saying it on TV, and on a fateful day, is different. I was on the business end of a small number of angry tweets from liberal readers....

If he doesn’t deserve it, no one does!!
Impeachment would be a stupid move, and I do not think it will happen.
Our goal needs to be putting cogs in the wheels of Hussein’s stupidity...and finding a way to keep Hitlery out of power....because full blown media worship of that will replace the Obama cult....
Sad but true.
The msm and his “protectors” will never let any tie to any scandal lead back to The Won. (or Hillary)
Some lower level pol will pay the price for any scandal.
“...guaranteed to ramp up the crazy”
The “crazy” is on the commie-dem side, bub...conservatives can be patient enough to let Bath-House hang himself—seems he’s doing a fine job of it so far.
What has transpired this past week puts a little lift in my step. I’m going to enjoy watching the whole thing come unraveled.
Hold enough hearings to cut into the Family’s vacation and golf time.
“would make a racial martyr”
That is also true. When the Dems played hardball and got the big O in the White House it was a “checkmate” moment.
No you got it wrong, “We got a Senate full of DEVILS, and their leader is OBAMA!”
Really? A good prediction but gun control didn’t get out of the senate...
Maybe there’s a chance?
“We don’t need to impeach him.
Just keep him tied up in hearings for the next 3.5 years.”
This is a much better plan. I’m fairly certain that every single thing he and the administration does for the duration will receive increased (well, a lot more than no, anyway) scrutiny from the media. 2014 election results will probably slam the door on any more crazy initiatives and will probably result in rollbacks.
Also, with three years left and an uncertain 2016 future ahead of them, I suspect that a lot of the mid-level wonks are going to be on their best behavior. The job market is STILL likely to be tough then.
Is rhis actually a word?

“Republicans do their base’s bidding, not America’s”

Excuse me, aren’t they supposed to do their constituents bidding? They aren’t supposed to all be the same—it is supposed to be representative gov’t, isn’t it?
Piss off enough people before 2014 and there may be a Republican Senate.
” Keep him captive in WH with no visitors No trips.”
Wouldn’t that be wonderful? He’d go insane.
(add no taxpayer funded Wednesday night parties anymore, too, and you’ll have him climbing the walls.)
Joe would be an improvement. He isn’t a muslim, he isn’t a Marxist, he isn’t beholden to the Saudis and he isn’t behold to Soros and God only know who else.
How about we demand O’ resignation?
The Coming Attempt to Impeach Obama
No doubt about it, republicans are delusional..
The only ones to attempt that are the idiotic absurd..
The ones that have not come to grips of just HOW in charge this scissor-bill is..
HE OWNS the FBI, the IRS, the CIA, The NSA, the whole friggen military.. most of Congress, a big part of the Supremes, all administrations of academia, most network news organizations, HollyWeird, San Fransicko, most all of Mexifornia, Oregon and Washington State.. the North East is BArry Half-White territory, Minnesota is high on the vapors of Lutefisk (USELESS)... those in Chicago are as crazy are vampire bats, and flying horned black Unicorns are coming out of the asses of all citizens of Washington D.C...
Did I mention he OWNS the voter fraud cabal.. and likely is franchising it.. and gives federal bene’s to the most successful..
The only way to get of Obama and his “minions” is to cut off their cold dead hands from federal power.. but that would take a meat ax.. (and a 45 cal.) Republicans only have scalpels..
What about the democrats?.. Well the democrats are in “LUV”... You know with FREE stuff..
They are drones in Borg collective.. Obama-Termites..
No golf!
Let Barrack be the rotten apple that ruins the Dem’s barrel.
At least Caligula had the right idea regarding the Senate.
