THE HONEYMOON IS OVER; GOP CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF OBAMA
By R J Shulman
WASHINGTON – Just hours after an impressive win by Barack Obama over John McCain, Republican leaders are calling for the impeachment of the President Elect. “Obama has lied to the American public about change. Everything was change. Do you see any change?” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “I don’t see any change.”

“Obama told the American people repeatedly that he was going to change things,” said House minority leader John Boehner of Ohio, “this has turned out to be a lie. Anyone who stands in front of the American people and lies like that should be removed from office. How can we explain to our children the audacity of lying coming from this man.”

“Obama’s lying is the cruelest act in American political history,” said Clifton W. Grotz, of the Heritage Foundation. “instead of fixing the economy like he promised, an economy that has languished for the past eight years due to Bill Clinton, Obama is running off to do celebrity things like picking a cabinet. “In fact,” Grotz said, “by now Obama should have rebuilt New Orleans and rebuilt the Constitution.”

“We have to hold Obama’s feet to the fire,” said Sean Hannity of Fox News, “and the only way to do that is to start the impeachment process. And another thing the American people need to know is why Obama sat next to Sam Perkins, a known terrorist when they both attended Harvard. Perkins, a Constitutional Law Professor at the University of Virginia, seems to have ended up on the airlines watch list. “I don’t know why the government has listed me as a security risk,” Perkins said. “Maybe it’s because I once owned a Cat Stevens album. I think it was Teaser and the Firecat.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who is suffering from painful splinters from pulling a possible impeachment of George W. Bush off the table too quickly, pointed out that impeachment was inappropriate as Senator Obama was not in office yet. “Leave it to the Democrats to cover up and protect their own,” said Karl Rove.
