IMAGINE THE INCREDIBLE CACOPHONY THIS JULY 4th IF THIS WAS BUSH’S STATEMENT!
President Barack Obama told reporters he does not have to answer the question of whether the War Powers Resolution is constitutional.
“There may be a time in which there was a serious question as to whether the War Powers Resolution was constitutional. I don’t have to get to the question,” Obama said during a White House news conference Wednesday.
Absolutely outrageous.

And, yet, this press conference was lauded in the WaPo the other day:
ReplyDelete...He dismissed the complaints that he violated the War Powers act as “all kinds of noise” and said “a lot of this fuss is politics” – ignoring the fact that a lot of Democrats complained, too. “The noose is tightening” around Libya’s Gaddafi, “and this suddenly becomes the cause celebre for some folks in Congress? C’mon.” He gave another case-closed shrug.

Populism, pugilism and American exceptionalism: From a stoic president, this was a refreshing blend.
The above essay by Dana Milbank pissed me off. Hence, my recent post.
America is in big trouble if we let Obama get away with violating the principles of federalism. The bigger issue is not Libya. The bigger issue is this power grab that the executive branch is doing under the Obama administration.
Does nobody in Congress have any balls?
Could something else be going on besides the power grab I just mentioned?
ReplyDeleteI think so.
I still maintain that there is a strong possibility that Obama is on cocaine. A lot of his behaviors fall into line with what a coke addict does.
I keep raising this crazy possibility because Obama's attitude since the November 2010 elections does not reflect the reality of the "shellacking."
And then (yesterday?) he said "five more years," as if the November 2012 election were a done deal.
I also remember that Obama got the year wrong when he signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey. That is beyond strange, folks.
SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS MAN!
