Any bets as to when Obama gets impeached?

[Archae]

Oh, they will.
Count on it.

The only question is when.

I give it until June 2015, at the latest.

1. Aprial ok April

[Archae]

3. "Aprial?"

You mean April.

[shenmue]

2. :(

[DebJ]

4. Right after they vote to eliminate minimum wage,

reverse the wage act that was Obama's first bill to sign,
open up the Alaskan fields
push through the Keystone Pipeline

give rich guys another tax cut

eliminate the home mortgage deduction
turn Medicare into vouchers
vote to repeal Obamacare

and basically rape in one way or another, every person on this planet, and the planet herself.

5. That won't happen

They could have impeached him at any time in the last four years. They distinctly remember 1998.

[kentuck]

6. First they have to show that he refuses to cooperate with their demands...

...maybe around this time next year?

[onenote]

7. If you're willing to put up an amount to give to DU, I'll take the bet

If you think there will be an impeachment proceeding in first six months after the new Congress is seated, you will owe DU some cash.

8. That ship has sailed.

Sure, they'll be talk about it and maybe investigations, but I doubt you're going to see them spend too much effort on actually impeaching a lame duck president with less than 2 years left and handing the presidency to Joe Biden.

You're more likely to see investigations of Clinton's time as SoS, as that will have impact on 2016.

9. Bring it

They don't have the votes to convict and nothing would rehabilitate Obama's political life and erase the political capital they won tonight faster than that.

Ask Bill Clinton, he'll tell you all about it. 60 percent + approval rating leaving office after being impeached. Even Saint Ronnie wasn't pulling those numbers.

19. What good does an approval rating of 60% mean when you're leaving office

[steve2470]

10. I can see them giving into their racist base

It would be stupid and futile, but no one said racists were intelligent.

[WillowTree]

11. I'd bet cold, hard cash that it won't happen.

[Puzzledtraveller]

12. no, they won't.

[scarystuffyo]

13. Man I really wish they would try

It would seal their fate for 2016

If the fringe right in the senate thinks that's what the majority of the country wants to see
they are mistaken

[LeftInTX]

17. It didn't seal their fate in 2000

[Ykcutnek]

14. As soon as they orchestrate a crisis in early 2017.

Some kind of "attack" on us abroad or at home that will be blamed on Obama's "weakness"

Another Benghazi-style thing.

I'm not usually this paranoid, but fuck it... the rest of the nation is extreme. I can be extreme in the other direction.

[Calista241]

15. I think they'll do it if Obama pseudo-legalizes immigration.

If he doesn't, they'll be no impeachment.

[Cleita]

16. It'll be the day after they take the oath for the new Congress. n/t

18. Near the 2016 primaries.
