Obama impeachment floated by second House Republican this week

Obama Impeachment Floated By GOP Congressman Trey Radel Over Executive Action On Guns

Rep. Trey Radel (R-Fla.) became the second House Republican this week to suggest that President Barack Obama could be impeached over his executive actions on gun violence.

In an interview with conservative blog "The Shark Tank," Radel, a Tea Party-backed freshman, argued that impeachment should be "on the table" as a measure to combat what he characterized as an overreach by the president.

So when can we expect an Obama impeachment? I would guess some time within the next year. Obama's second term hasn't even started yet and impeachment is already pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Amazing how Bush was never impeached even though he started a full-fledged war based on lies which wasted trillions of dollars and killed hundreds of thousands of people, including thousands of American soldiers.

Impeachment was previously considered to be a rare event, but now I suppose Republicans consider impeachment to be mandatory for all Democratic Presidents.

At some point in the next few years it is inevitable that the Teapublican terrorists will try to impeach.
It doesn't matter on what grounds. Impeachment, or yammering about it is important to their owners agenda.
It should be perfectly clear by now that any attempt to dig this country out of the hole GWB dug for it will be met sever resistance.
Blocking progress is the Tepublicans most important product!
