Impeachment

Well, they finally impeached the President.  A former Marxist when young, the President ran on a centrist ticket of the party of the left and is now near the end of a second term.  The House passed an impeachment order yesterday and the trial now goes to the Senate.  At issue is the fact that the President cooked the books on employment statistics and national debt to make the country look like it was financially healthier.  What, you missed this news?  I’m talking about Dilma Rouseff, Pres. of Brazil.  Her Workers Party has demanded the impeachment of the 3 former Presidents but now claims this is nothing but a sexist right wing conspiracy.  The false statistics tried to hide 35 times as much budget deficit as was actual and unemployment was double the stated statistics.  Now that she is under impeachment trial, she is forced to step down from the office allowing the Veep to hold it until the trial is concluded.

            But, you say, nothing like this has occurred in our history.  Why, we promised not to impeach Obama!
