Am I the only person really hoping the Republicans impeach Obama? [View all]

Without Senate control, the only effect would be to make them look bad. Obviously, I'll be laughing on the other side of my face if they take the senate in 2014, but that doesn't look likely.

And I can think of few things that would contribute more to the Democrats retaking the house than a vote to impeach the president.
