SHARE Impeachment would be a boost for Joe Biden

Ask Dr. Politics! You are fair, and we are unbalanced!

Dear Dr. Politics: Is President Barack Obama going to be impeached?

Answer: Only if the Republicans go totally nuts — which means it’s possible.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has said: “We see thuggery going on in the White House. We’re not going to take it.”

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, has said: “From my standpoint, if the president (enacts more executive actions on immigration), we need to bring impeachment hearings immediately before the House of Representatives.”

GOP intellectual Sarah Palin, who would have been a heartbeat away from the presidency if Americans could have stopped laughing at the prospect, has said that “the many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored” and that if “he’s not impeachable, then no one is.”
