8/21/13 - Michigan's Democratic leader is criticizing a former Fowlerville teacher who is now a member of Congress for saying it would be a "dream come true" to seek the impeachment of President Barack Obama. U.S. Representative Kerry Bentivolio made the comments to supporters in Birmingham and the talk was posted on YouTube. The Milford Republican said he can't move on impeachment because he lacks evidence that Obama committed any crimes. State Democratic Chairman Lon Johnson said Wednesday the statement made by Bentivolio shows that "he would rather wage tired ideological political battles that give us more Washington dysfunction than do anything to create jobs or focus on Michigan's middle class". Bentivolio served for a short time as an English teacher at Fowlerville High School before resigning following a reprimand for aggressive behavior toward his students.
