The author of this aside makes a humorous case that the Obama-Boehner Golf Summit was an impeachable offense,because they wagered a pittance on the outcome. (Gambling is illegal in Maryland.) Charles Boyer concludes this piece by writing,“I can’t wait,however,for some wingnut on NRO or the DailyKos to make a serious case for the above to actually happen. Meanwhile,if you listen closely,you can hear violins above the crackling of America burning.”This is not the answer to his prayer;we have a host of other reasons to impeach Obama,not the least being his acts of constitutional pyromania that ignited the fires Mr. Boyer rightly denounces. —Ed.

When the Fabulous Foursome of President Barack Obama,Vice President Joe Biden,Speaker of the House John Boehner and Ohio Governor played golf yesterday at Joint Base Andews in Maryland,the widely reported result is that President Obama and Speaker Boehner won two bucks each.

None of this is funny because everybody's life is in trouble and they play golf.
My question is why he hasn't been impreached in the first place. He hasn't done anything legally since he ILLEGALLY took office or "won the election"with his illegal votes. As a matter of fact he isn't even eligible to run for office as he still has only presented his Photoshop CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH and NOT A BIRTH CERTIFICATE. I am 65,have never been to Hawaii and can get a Hawaian Certificate of Live Birth today,just like Obama has. Does that mean I was born there –HELL NO. A friend of mine's grandmother knows his grandmother and lives within 10 miles of his birthplace and knows for a fact he was born in Kenya. With all due respects,by simply putting his name on the ballot in 50 dtates that is 50 felony charges right there,and he is allowed to destroy this country??? There is definitely something rotten in Denmark!!!
