Cant stop the president S Health Care law. Thats why youre hearing ridiculous talk about impeachment at town halls with republican lawmakers. He needs to be stopped. We need to get that it should have been started a long, long time ago. Is somebody going to finally draw up something thats going to stop this runaway train we have in the white house . You know, if i could write that bill and submit it do it. Yeah. Excuse me. It would be a dream come true. I feel your pain. I know. I stood 12 feet away from the guy and listened to him, and i couldnt stand being there. But because he is president i have to respect the office. It would be a dream come true . To impeach president obama . Really . Now, in fairness, id expect this type of talk coming from the republican from michigan. Hes a professional santa claus impersonator and hes posed shirtless with a reindeer. Im not sure the reindeers enjoying that. But look. Its not just half naked santas threatening into impeach the president. Senat

King, ceo of the king center. Thank you for being here today. Thank you. Glad to be here. You head the king center where your mother founded many years ago. And you have struggled and worked to keep the legacy of your mother and father alive. And this march tomorrow is one of five days that you have helped to orchestrate and push and pull and make sure it happened. But you were a child when this happened. I was an infant. In arms when the march happened. And you were still very young when you lost your dad. How do you explain the fire in you . Well, i mean, other than the holy spirit, thats where it comes from.
