They'll find something to impeach him over (Syria, maybe something he's done that we don't know about yet) and they'll have hearings and ratify the Articles of Impeachment and drag his sorry ass in front of the Senate next summer. He may or may not be convicted but from that day forward, he'll be tagged with that shit everywhere he goes.

You think the Republicans will actually try to impeach Obama? I don't know about that. What would they charge him with?

Right now? Who knows...but I'm sure they would find something.

This is why I say it won't happen. Obama will take the beating and walk away with his pension. He won't want to face a Republican Congress, as weak as he is. Yes, he has the media in his corner but if Congress is completely Republican (and the Court throws out Obamacare) that's not gonna buy him much.

Did you know that Steve Burke, president of NBC Universal, has already announced a reorg of their news division that doesn't include Phil Griffin? He's President of MSNBC...for now. Maybe there won't be one.

Don't you see what's happening?

Can you imagine what hearings in the House would be like? Can you imagine dragging those czars before the cameras?

Why hasn't it happened already?

Because, that's not how things work.

Someone's already made a deal. You can feel it.

Obama is finished and he's made a hell of a mess. Next, we have to clean it up.

As I indicated above, I'm not the sort who frightens easily.

Bring it on...but know in advance, I don't screw around.

What I find amusing about the stupidity on this thread is that it almost exactly mirrors what political wonks were saying about Democrats in 2008.

The united states is going to remain the same purple country that it has been for the better part of the last 50 years.

As in the last several elections, http://electoral-vote.com/ is the place to watch for real, informed, and remarkably good predictions.

The idea that the house doesn't flip very often is simply wrong: http://artandhistory.house.gov/house_history/partyDiv.aspx

Holding the house for more than 3 elections is something that is a relatively recent phenomenon, and it's an era that has clearly ended; the house has flipped two times in the last four elections.

The senate is looking like a complete toss up at this point. We have around 45 safe seats for either side.

Lets also remember that you don't need a majority to set the agenda in this country. If that was the case, Obama wouldn't have had to bend over backwards for everything he tried to do during his first two years in office.

My prediction:

- Obama wins re election
- The house remains republican
- The senate remains democratic

When all is said and done, congressional republicans will still be their obstructionist selves.

You could say the repub's are obstructionists, but what they are obstucting is creeping socalism and tyranny.

Maybe you prefer those things for America, I don't.
