The lawmakers say Obama has violated the Constitution by not obtaining authorization to keep American forces in the Libyan war.
...
In a meeting with White House reporters late yesterday afternoon, officials – speaking on condition of anonymity – argued the administration does not need any further authority from Congress to keep U.S. troops in the conflict.

Hi, I'm checks and balances, so the different branches of government, ideally, stay equal, and I'm going to jump out this window!
If it were Bush people would be screaming for him to be impeached, but since it's Buddy Boy Barry he gets to stay in office. What a sham. Boot him now!

The arrogance of this administration is appalling. It is dangerous as well.

What does one do when ones horse is running away on them?
One hauls in the reins....................


We need an accomplished rider to pull in the reins on this administration.

Or if you really want to look at it from a more extreme standpoint- what do you do when your dog becomes a danger to your children, take him out back and put him down.

The argument was that since they weren't shooting back at us, bombing the shit out of them doesn't make it a war.

Congress hasn't formally declared war since WWII.

This is really just another step in the direction we've been headed for quite a while. Its arguable that if Obama (or any executive) does something like this, they get de facto authorization if congress isn't willing to de-fund it.

There's already mechanisms in place for this sort of thing, this generation of politicians isn't really willing to pull the purse strings, tho.

+1 on that. Ive been saying that myself for the last couple of years. He doesnt like being told NO, and doesnt handle it well. Look when the mayan calender is set to expire next year in december, then look at when the electoral college votes, and when congress counts them. Makes you go hmmmm

Anyone know if it is true that USMC are on the ground in Libya for daytime work but moved back out to the ships each night?

The scarier thing to me is that his supporters still support him even after this. One of his main campaign promises was to end the wars and restore the world's respect for America. So what does he do? Not end the wars and get us involved in another. The world hates America somewhat because we always get involved in their shit...so how does Bama try to restore our respect? Bomb the shit out of another country. Yeah, that'll do it!

His supporters blindly follow him even when he lies to their faces. They think the guy can do nothing wrong. That's the truly scary thing.
