Last weekend Sarah Palin claimed that God wants President Obama impeached, but according to a new CNN poll, 65% of the American people disagree with both Palin and her version of God.
According to a new CNN/ORC International poll impeaching President Obama is a very unpopular idea. Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said that Obama should not be impeached. The standard Republican 33% that hates everything President Obama does support impeachment. It is not surprising that impeachment is most popular with Republicans (57%) and conservatives (56%). Seventy-nine percent of respondents believed that impeachment should only be used for serious crimes, but 29% of Republicans and conservatives believed that it should be used to express dissatisfaction.
Sarah Palin recently claimed that it would be “an affront to God” to not impeach President Obama, but the idea of impeaching this president is an unpopular as when it was proposed for George W. Bush (69% opposed impeachment) and Bill Clinton (67% opposed impeachment).
Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer suggested today that Republicans might consider impeachment if the president takes action on immigration. Pfeiffer said, “Speaker Boehner, by going down the path of this lawsuit, has opened the door to Republicans possibly considering impeachment at some point in the future. I think that if the President enacted immigration reform that would certainly up the likelihood that they would contemplate impeachment.”
It is fairly obvious that Boehner’s lawsuit opens the door for impeachment. The problem for Republicans is that by pursuing impeachment they would be turning off at least 65% of the country. If the GOP wants to become the party of the 33%, the best way to get there is to try to impeach President Obama.
Speaker Boehner may claim that he doesn’t want to impeach the president, but he is definitely trying to infer to Republicans that impeachment is a possibility. Americans have been rejecting Sarah Palin for years, but to use her own made up term, the American people are refudiating her calls for the impeachment of Barack Obama.
