Obama has not bothered to either consult with, or get formal authorization from the US Congress for his military warmaking on Libya. In fact, Obama isn't even around while its going on, he is in Chile.
Obama says he is a constitutional law expert - where is the expertise? Obamacare violates the Commerce Clause, and now this: Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution specifies that it is the Congress that has the power to declare war.
"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." - candidate Barak Obama answering questions by Charlie Savage of the Boston Globe.
Hillary's answer: "If the country is under truly imminent threat of attack, of course the President must take appropriate action to defend us. At the same time, the Constitution requires Congress to authorize war. I do not believe that the President can take military action – including any kind of strategic bombing ... without congressional authorization..."
Left Wing hypocrisy on Libya is also stark, in the absence of protests, and commentary. A few are beginning to peel off though. Michael Moore To Obama: Return Your Nobel Peace Prize...
Extra special irony? Obama may well be helping Al Qaeda in Libya.
The stench of hypocrisy is all over Obama and Hillary Clinton, wonder how many can smell it?
