Speaking today in a rambling press conference covering a myriad of topics, President Obama slammed the members of the House of Representatives for questioning the legality of the Libya War, saying Gadhafi was “somebody who nobody should want to defend.”
President Obama attacked Libya on March 19, using a UN Resolution authorizing a no-fly zone as a pretext. He has refused to seek Congressional authorization under the War Powers Act, saying the war is so one-sided that no troops are really in “harm’s way,” which he believes is the test.
This led Obama to condemn Congress for making defending Gadhafi a “cause celebre” and saying Congress “should be sending out a unified message to this guy.” At the same time, it is a unified message he insists he doesn’t need to continue attacking.
Congress seems very much to disagree, having refused to authorize the conflict in a vote last week and even refusing to authorize a “limited” conflict with exceptions in a second vote masquerading as an antiwar alternative. A full bill defunding the conflict is expected in early July.

You are very correct. Might is always right but sometimes, well we need to wait and see…….I have seen millionaire and later I have also seen the same guy begging for food……..
Someone is sounding suspiciously like Comrade Stalin.
Rambling press conference indeed. The Obama has slipped a cog and is in full-frontal denial of his high crimes and misdemeanors. Isn't our current Imperial Caesar 'allegedly' a constitutional "authority?" I've heard rumors to that effect. I do not believe it for a moment.
Bushco tried that stale routine back in the pre-Iraq genocidal phase of running up another war. Stale and hackneyed with trite as the side dish. "My war right or not so gits on board and play nice for the warmongers." Well, and the profiteers. Dianne Feinstein? How's that portfolio reading out today? War profits with a blood glaze.
So far, all Congress is wont to do is punt. Shouldn't the Congress get down to the serious business of holding President Dimwit to account? Golly, wouldn't that be a surprise…
1- When NATO or US Government demands a regime change or arguing about Nation Building is a crime against all and every aspects of democracy and its principals.., this kind of demand is in fact slapping the principals in democracy asking it to follow what is said and needs to be done even if it takes a nation down. USG always hade an argument about its wars no matter where it took place or for what reasons, as long as there was a war then there is this argument by the white house saying that: from “our perceptive” the war is about “democracy” and you people who disagree with us supporting a dictatorial regime.., and for us the only way in implementing democracy in that country is by a militarism engagement and there is no other option but war. Here Barack Hussein Obama is doing it again.., by twisting the facts back at you questioning the integrity of people who are against wars after wars and again wars saying that it is you who helping Kaddafi regime not us.
Continues:
3- One can look at US and its war cronies from Vietnam to present Libyan war.., and US or EU modernized foreign policies based on changing regimes or nation building.., most of these regime changes and those who been helped by EU or US turned out to have some kind of connections to Mafia or turned out to be a dictatorial regime or a religious figure head.., beside.., the change of a political system that favored by US/NATO-EU never been a democratic and its been proven from Vietnam 60 years ago to present war in Libya…, Hashim Taci was the leader of Balkan Mafia which was helped by US and especially Richard Holbrook and Madeline Albright to establish KLA (Kosovo Libration Army) so as Ahmad Chalabi in Iraq who turned out to be the thieve of Jordan.., so how could white house or senators or for that matter the 10 Downing Street or France playboy style Sarkozi demand regime change or nation building by not being or respecting the principals of a democratic system by helping democracy at home yet demanding regime change or nation building.., democracy is not a one way street.., it needs to function otherwise no matter who the leader is and as long as the system is not functioning it can not be called democratic which rises the question.., where is that democracy that Obama is talking about when it is him using “his executive” power by starting a war, by that then why do the people in US have a senate or house of representative, which questions the fact: so where is that democracy that US democratic party, its leaders are talking about.., here by such falsified and double faced democracy it seams that every US president needs to have a war just proving that he or she been the president of USA and have a war in his/her name.

Simply for Cameron or Sarkozi and Obama or the Italian Mafiosi Berlusconi demanding regime change or nation Building is a comments refusing the fact that there is a symbolic democracy exist in EU or USA but is principals are not respected by any of them.., although other nations internal conflict is not their business but it is in their economic interests to demand changes which makes the entire matter a matter of arguing the bases in democracy.., if these governments are people government or big corporations government working for corporate interests.
Libyan war is not about democracy nor those who oppose Qaddafi regime are from US democratic party nor they been schooled by Obama or Sarkozi or Cameron to implement democracy in Africa.., part of this war is about the $53 billion dollars to be stolen by US-EU and China, these people who are supported by EU and US are not in any social political position to implement such terms and conditions for Libyan people.., the other part of this war is about opening a passage way entering the African continent for stealing the African nations wealth. $17 billion of Iraq Oil for food money is missing.., UN and US have no answer for it, so is the faith of Libyan $53 billion dollars.., in the other hand: US Government and EU accusations regarding Libyan government killing its own people also been proven by verity of reports which indicate the facts that US accusations regarding Qaddafi abusing its people is as false as WMD in Iraq.., and that every institutions based on their integrity have pointed in the opposite direction in what US and EU been saying about Libyan government.
And now EU and US and the act by ICC…! I mean it is obvious that US and EU using ICC acting as if the world of Mafiosi is back and in charge of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and rest of this world has become part of New York or Chicago or Beijing and Hong Kong.., fighting for making their territories bigger by paying off ICC when they need ICC to issue a warrant..,! USG is not a signatory of the ICC which rises the question.., can it be that if and when US dose sign recognizing ICC then many countries would demand for US presidents to be arrested and prosecuted for war crimes against humanity in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya.
The POTUS sure is a piece of work. His MO is becoming tiresome: offer up pathetic excuses for his lame and illegal policies, then demagogue those that question his decisions. How much longer must we endure this blowhard?
President Obama in no way a scholar on the constitution. He often circumvents the constitution to the detriment of the country. The congress is no better. Their performance and results while in office
warrants removal now or the very least voted out of office at the next election…especially the senate.
Obama is an expert on the Constitution in the same way that a safecracker is an expert on safes.
Stalin was someone that no one would want to defend but he defeated Hitler. Personally, I would rather defend Qaddafi than Bush, Blair or the al-Sauds (Saudi royal family).
At least the president is right in one thing: his action does not violate the war powers resolution. His action violates the US Constitution and every American should want to defend the Constitution.
I hear a lawyer talking to her client is now 'defending' her client, too; courts gotta send a unified message to their witches. Suggesting that the USG should bother to prove that it whacked someone (calling it 'justice') is also 'defending' that someone. So now telling the dictator that our country can't afford the war is 'defending' the Hitler du jour. Now, why would he still have defenders of his own?
Evil is as evil does.
War isn't war, it's kinetic military action. Tax increases aren't tax increases, they are savings in the tax code. This guy got elected by giving speeches in hypnotic tones and now the mind games continue. But the people have finally caught on. The sooner he is evicted from the White House the better.
I don’t normally give Alex Jones much attention, but there’s a good article on his site which outlines many of the problems with Obama’s chosen course of action and his thumbing his nose at Congress and the Constitution. Plus the open secret of the mission creep of this operation, which now may include regime change via assassination.

The Warfare State's (Obama/McCain/Kerry) next move is to try and make the Senate look like it endorses this arrogant Libyan war.
The Illusion of 14 Senators making Libya legitimate in the Foreign Relations committee. Here is the vote. YEAS: (Democrats) Kerry, Boxer, Menendez, Cardin, Casey, Webb, Shaheen, Coons, Durbin, Udall, (Repbulicans) Rubio, Inhofe, Isakson, Barrasso
NAYS: Lugar, Corker, Risch, Demint, Lee.
I find it revealing that Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), a self declared leading fiscal conservative, says "today joined every Senate Republican in advocating for a Balanced Budget Amendment " yet he does not know how to pay for the Libyan fiasco.
A majority of the Democrats are from East Coast states and like U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Penn) has enlisted in the fight to continue production of the Army's main battle tank. .
