There has been a lot of talk about impeaching Obama in recent weeks.  Strangely enough, much of it seems to be coming from the President himself.  Many are pointing out that the whole subject is nothing more than crass politics on both sides.

My_Trusty_GavelThere is certainly a political calculation to impeachment.  I actually believe that if an impeachment trial would occur, there would be Democrat Senators that would vote to impeach – especially as facts came out.  Sadly, I believe that there would be enough Republicans that would bail out that even with the Democrat votes there would be a failure to convict.

Dear God, I thought I was up on Obamacare, but this one had gotten by me.American Health

Obamacare’s ludicrous Sunshine Act.

VA vanishes from the media, even as Congress on the verge of passing reform | Fox News.

Well, of course the story is gone.  There is no way the mainstream media is going to report a story that will help “the enemy” during an election cycle.
