Boehner disagrees with Palin on impeaching Obama

I don’t understand the Speaker’s response. Do you? Here is the article:

House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) disagrees with Republicans calling for the impeachment of President Obama.

Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Tuesday joined a growing chorus of Republicans calling for the impeachment of Obama, writing in an op-ed that the influx of young illegal immigrants over the southern border “is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, ‘no mas.’ ”

“I disagree,” Boehner said when asked by reporters Wednesday morning. When a reporter pointed out that some House Republicans also are calling for impeachment, Boehner said again: “I disagree.”

Boehner’s comments came after Palin said Tuesday night on Fox News that the speaker’s planned lawsuit against Obama over his use of executive power is a weak maneuver. “You don’t bring a lawsuit to a gunfight,” she said. “There’s no place for lawyers on the front lines.”

Palin is hardly the first GOP politician to raise the issue of impeachment over the past couple years. As The Post’s Aaron Blake has noted,  others include Sens. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Reps. Blake Farenthold (R-Tex.), Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.), Michael Burgess (R-Tex.) and Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), former congressmen Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and  Allen West (R-Fla.), and the South Dakota Republican Party. Not everyone explicitly called for Obama’s impeachment, but they have suggested that it should be considered.

    If they impeach Obama, Boehner and the rest of the elite in Washington will have to pretend they never heard of him, owe how I love the games they play.

    Boehner has ‘over served’ and needs to take all the money he made off the tax payer and go home. He is a very weak leader, no, he is not a leader….he cries (literally) at the drop of a hat and has no vision for the nation. He sees evil as good and good as evil, so…….go home John!!!! We need patriotic, constitutional leaders!

    The Gov has it all sown up and it will be business as usual and Obama is aloud to do as he pleases as he has all his henchmen in place to protect him:
    Only the people can take back the country.
