Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has called for the impeachment of President Barack Obama. Palin said that Obama has committed “purposeful dereliction of duty” and that Obama has treated the country like he’s an “abusive spouse.” Sure, because wanting to help indebted students and the environment is apparently abusive, Republicans say.
