Obama to Congress: What I Decided in Libya is Constitutional, Even Though I Said it Wasn't

Rather than speak to the American people or Congress directly on his decision to establish a no-fly zone over Libya, President Obama sent a letter to Congress explaining his actions. Here are the choicest quotes from the letter. Oh, and remember, President Obama was a Constitutional "Scholar" (emphasis mine):

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 authorized Member States, under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, to take all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in Libya, including the establishment and enforcement of a "no-fly zone" in the airspace of Libya...

Accordingly, U.S. forces have targeted the Qadhafi regime's air defense systems, command and control structures, and other capabilities of Qadhafi's armed forces used to attack civilians and civilian populated areas. We will seek a rapid, but responsible, transition of operations to coalition, regional, or international organizations that are postured to continue activities as may be necessary to realize the objectives of U.N. Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973.

For these purposes, I have directed these actions, which are in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.

I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution. I appreciate the support of the Congress in this action.

You know, I could have sworn that Mr. Obama said that George W. Bush couldn't attack Iraq, even though Congress approved use of force. Oh wait, here's his quote from 2007:

"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".

Sigh. What a hypocrite.

Big stakes for Obama in Monday’s Libya speech

President Obama has used his rhetorical and intellectual skills in the past to get himself out of a jam or boost his standing when he needed it most. He did it with a speech on race when the Rev. Jeremiah Wright threatened his candidacy during the 2008 primaries. He did it in January after the Tucson shootings with a speech that helped him regain his balance after midterm election losses.

He will try to do that again with his scheduled speech Monday night

The bumbling "imam 0-bomb" regime is in full bloom today!
We have the whitewater queenie in London blathering about the fact that (we?) don't know that al qaida is involved with the rebels in Libya AND the United States Admiral in charge of NATO forces testifying before a Congressional committee that we indeed do know that al qaida is involved in Libya!
Who is one to believe? A lying sack-o-shyt ditz who can babble away with no consequences or an Admiral that faces perjury charges if he lies to Congress???????????????????

"imam 0-bomb" is reaping what he has sown!
His approval is at an all time low and his cheerleaders in the left-wing lame stream moron media are shedding crocodile tears!
Even some of the totally duped boob RETARDS must be seeing the light!

Obama is proud of his record of accomplishment. Watch his first ad of the 2012 campaign.......

"maxwell smart" should be!
"maxwell's" goal is to destroy the United States of America and he and the current crop of FLEEBAGGERS have done a better job of it then any of our sworn enemies ever have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now "maxwell smart" is reduced to pandering to rev al, who he wouldn't get within ten miles of before, for votes!
While the government is hanging on the edge of shutting down "maxwell" is in Pennsylvania, where they're still clinging to their bibles and guns, visiting a Spanish manufacturing company and then on to NYC to suck up to rev al!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump has investigators in Hawaii investigating "maxwell smart"!
One of "maxwell's" bosom buddies was just arrested for soliciting a prostitute in Hawaii, interesting that none of the stories mentions whether the prostitute was male or female? I'd wager being it's "maxwell's" buddy the prostitute was a MALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The investigators are in the wrong place, they should be in Kenya!

"obama bin lyin'" finally has his approval rating down to the same number as the number of people that will admit to being liberals, 19% now strongly approve of what "obama bin lyin'" is doing!

OBAMA'S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
By Wayne Allyn Root


Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.
To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.

Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate
( Columbia University , class of '83).
He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.
Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.

Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming.
Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn
the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority
that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted
on to always vote for bigger government.

Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health
care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and
health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).
Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans
will add trillions to the national debt.
What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government .
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill
in the middle of a depression?

Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.
They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to
Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars,
bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."

Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?
Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government
entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?
Certainly not American taxpayers.
But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along.
His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.
Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America .
But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted
on to support big government.
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and
eventually Social Security .

Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.
It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could
keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out
(after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).
A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).

All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their
bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .
The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.
The ends justify the means.

Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job
creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers,
redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did
nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).
Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.

Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama
using the Cloward and Piven Plan .

Root was never Obama's roommate.

duped boob RETARD boobh must have been "obama bin lyin's" roommate then??????????????????
No wonder "obama bin lying'" is hooked on getting BJ's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
