Hoo Boy, ol’ Bambi done stepped into it this time! đŻ
The Uber-Liberal left is not happy with the President.
First there is this via Politico:
A hard-core group of liberal House Democrats is questioning the constitutionality of U.S. missile strikes against Libya, with one lawmaker raising the prospect of impeachment during a Democratic Caucus conference call on Saturday.
Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Donna Edwards (Md.), Mike Capuano (Mass.), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Rob Andrews (N.J.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) âall strongly raised objections to the constitutionality of the presidentâs actionsâ during that call, said two Democratic lawmakers who took part.
Kucinich, who wanted to bring impeachment articles against both former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney over Iraq â only to be blocked by his own leadership â asked why the U.S. missile strikes arenât impeachable offenses.
Kucinich also questioned why Democratic leaders didnât object when President Barack Obama told them of his plan for American participation in enforcing the Libyan no-fly zone during a White House Situation Room meeting on Friday, sources told POLITICO.
And liberals fumed that Congress hadnât been formally consulted before the attack and expressed concern that it would lead to a third U.S. war in the Muslim world.
While other Democratic lawmakers have publicly backed Obama â including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and top members of the Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees â the objections from a vocal group of anti-war Democrats on Capitol Hill could become a political problem for Obama, especially if âOperation Odyssey Dawnâ fails to topple Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi, leads to significant American casualties, or provokes a wider conflict in the troubled region of North Africa.
Oh, it does not stop there…. It gets much worse, even the grand poo-bah of Black liberation Theology is not amused; no, I don’t mean Rev. Wright! This guy:
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan blasted U.S. President Barack Obama for taking part in an international coalition against Libyan Muammar Qaddafi.
The coalition, consisting of France, the United Kingdom and the U.S., began bombing strategic targets in Libya on Saturday. France’s air force is leading the air strikes.
The U.S. and UK have launched hundreds of missiles from naval ships.
Farrakhan, on a Chicago radio show, said he was outraged Obama took part in the attack.
“Why don’t you organize a group of respected Americans and ask for a meeting with Qaddafi, you can’t order him to step down and get out, who the hell do you think you are?”
He made the comments on WVON-AM.
Heh. Can you imagine the letter that Obama is going to have to write to this guy? “Dear Louie. I had to do it. The Jews made me…” Oh my. đ
Anyhow, hence the smugness of some of us, who knew this coming all long. Hope and Change? Yeah right. More like No Hope and more of the same. Funny, did not the left say that about McCain? Hmmmmm. đ
Just sayin’….
