Egad, Strike, I hope not. Sadly, there probably are a few yahoos who would try it. The idea that Obama has done anything impeachable seems really silly to me. I may loathe many of his administration's policy efforts and more than one of his foreign policy themes, but I that's political opposition, not some sense of betrayal. How can he have betrayed me when he's doing more or less what he said he would do if he were elected and doing so through the legislative process? Far too many folks simply do not understand the idea of a "loyal opposition." We are the poorer for it.
Odin, I think you may have touched on something near and dear to my heart. I too strongly suspect that we would end up with better governance if we didn't elect people who sought the office, but rather SENTENCED people to the office who had no desire to be there. The difference in attitude would, I suspect, be salutory.
