Two quotes, actually (hat tip to Mike's America):
The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. — Senator Barack Obama, December 20 2007America has an important strategic interest in preventing Qaddafi from overrunning those who oppose him. A massacre would have driven thousands of additional refugees across Libya’s borders, putting enormous strains on the peaceful –- yet fragile -– transitions in Egypt and Tunisia. — President Barack Obama, March 28, 2011
The Obama Doctrine trumping the United States Constitution?
Do you ever wonder, as I do, what world this simpleton lives in?
ReplyDeleteMakes you proud to be an American. Gwaaaah!
ReplyDeleteHere's a new one to pair up with "kinetic military action". From MRC:
ReplyDeleteThe lead story of the National section of Sunday’s New York Times by Kirk Johnson, “Inundated With News, Many Find It Difficult To Keep Up on Libya,” dug up some novel excuses for the public’s resistance to Obama’s war in Libya (a Gallup poll shows only 47% approve of the bombing strikes): Information “overload,” “compassion fatigue,” and the NCAA basketball tournament.
You want to know something else? If this would have been President Bush, Obama would have slammed him in the senate.
ReplyDeleteHe is doing the opposite of everything he promised he wouldn't do. He is utterly incapable of telling the truth.
He is an embarrassment to our nation.
He only said "I" 25 times. About once a minute. Lets see how "I" figures out out to get out of the Hell hole he got himself into.
ReplyDeleteOf course he thinks he can trump the Constitution! And why not dear friend? He trumped the American people and became president with that FAKE A** birth certificate. Da' man tinks' he's jus' armor plated.....
ReplyDeletegrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............
Haven't heard anything yet about Biden wanting to impeach him
ReplyDeleteThis war is alll about the oil. Look at the headlines, they are tracking oil facilities captured and contracts signed.
ReplyDeleteEngland and France are in dire economic straits if the Libyan oil was interupted they would have gone into an economic Depression.
Obama saw this as an easy lay up...especially since his brackets all failed to pick a winner....

Blogginator,
ReplyDeleteObama saw this as an easy lay up...
Agreed. He is campaigning.
And just look at all the money being spent in this "kinetic military action" against Gaddafi.
When ISN'T he capaining? like the democrats say, never let a diaster go to waste...
ReplyDeleteA funny thing happened on the way to victory....
ReplyDeleteAnd again Obama is wrong. It was as expected not an easy lay up.
How could you screw this up?
oh wait, let's assume a foreign country began an airstrike on one of our cities because some people were rebeling. Our response would be suddenly unified against the outside invader. But wait there is more, what if we realized the invader would rather play golf that bomb us and lacked any leadership qualities. All the better because we perceived the invader to be a paper tiger. But wait there is more, we also have the oil their allies need.
Ok, a little advice if you want to win a quick war with a dictator. Kill him and his family with the first wave of unannounced missiles.....
or you could try to fight a war from the golf course....
This would make a good comedy show if people were not dying and we were not going into debt....
Can we put a recall provision in the Constitution?
Well, it was George Bush who so famously said "Screw the Constitution, it's just a lousy piece of paper." He wasn't the first president to ignore our Constitution, either. For that matter, I think George W. pretty much created Barry O., they're two of a kind.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, expecting truth from Obama is useless, let alone consistency. It would be great to see the Dems try to impeach one of their own as Dennis Kucinich is preaching. B.O.'s worshippers won't let that happen but the divisiveness is a real frolic to watch.
How's Mr. AOW doing these days? Well, I hope. Frankly I'm reminded to ask because of a really nasty variety of flu that's gripped me. I get the flu shot ever year but there seem to be more and more new bugs that I never used to catch, that the innoculations don't avert. Makes me wonder what's going on in the Wide Wonderful World of new diseases, but that's a different subject.
Black Sheep,
ReplyDeleteI do not look for the Dems to impeach or even rein in one of their own.
As for Mr. AOW, he's doing okay. But he's still pretty much immobile although he can walk a few steps and makes forays into the kitchen from time to time. Thank you for asking about Mr. AOW. So many of our friends and family have forgotten us now, and we lead quite an isolated and lonely existence. **sigh**
As for the flu, we've escaped so far, except for one nasty bout last October. That bout felled both Mr. AOW and me, never mind that we always get our flu shots. I do think that the bugs are getting nastier now. What is THAT a sign of?
However, I did have a mild case of food poisoning last week: I accidentally got into some soup seasoned with dill, and I'm highly allergic to dill.
Constitution, what constitution? The people, what people? King obama is lording over you folks, he says jump, then you jump.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what'll happen when king obama leaves, most unwillingly off course, as soon as the next conservative president dares to attack an enemy actually threatening America, you'll see obama along with the rest of the leftards caterwauling about the constitution and how it's being shredded.
