WASHINGTON -- It's "Hillary's war."
President Obama yesterday kicked soccer balls and listened to children playing music in Rio de Janeiro as US warplanes attacked Libya in a mission being credited by some to the leadership of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"Thank God for strong women in the Obama administration," Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) said on "Fox News Sunday."
Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he didn't know how many thousands of people had died in Libya before Obama took action.
"I don't know what finally got the president to act, but I'm very worried that we are taking a back seat rather than a leadership role," he said.
**SNIP**
Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said the Libya mission looks like "Hillary's war."
"She clearly was pushing it behind the scenes," he said. "She has taken the lead."
He warned that Obama, by contrast, looks like "he has been trivializing his time" filling out NCAA basketball tournament brackets and then traveling to Latin America.
"It's not a good impression for a president to leave," Sabato said.

And where's Congress? This IS an act of war, right? Aren't they supposed to vote on this?
Given the way Hillary! looks these days, you’d think that a grueling presidential campaign would be off the table. She needs a couple of months in rehab.
B-U-S-H.
An attempt to re-direct Kucinich, Waters, et al?
Other commenters have said that Obama is deliberately running her ragged, driving her face-down into the dirt.
Hillary should realize what's going on -- she's from up there, she knows all about the Chicago way.
