Obama cannot be for impeachment at this stage into his candidacy.

Frankly, I think impeachment should have happened right after the dems gained the majority in congress. I think all excuses given by them are utter bullshit and the real reason why they don't want to rock any boats is because they are afraid that they might be dragged under as well, when it comes to the discussion of what part THEY actually played in allowing this whole clusterfuck to happen.

However, I do agree that at this point it is strategically impossible for Barack Obama to run a candidacy and push for impeachment at the same time. He would be seen by many, and certainly be portrayed by the media, as trying to force himself into office and that will very likely create huge backlash.

For him, it is the much safer route to let the present popularity that he undoubdedly has, despite all the attempts to smear him, to do its work. I can't say that I blame him for that. Strategically it is probably the right thing to do.
