Experts: War is Hill
Clinton credited with leading charge

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.

I said from the beginning that Hillary suckered him. She pushed for the war and if it goes to hell he’s weakened so bad he won’t run for re-election and this will be her chance.

Now I see the media (and rinos) are protecting him. When it goes to hell it’ll be Hillary’s fault. To his worshippers he can do no wrong.

It shows that Obama is a weak President if Hillary is able to command a war over his head and force Obama into it. She also did this with Afghanistan and Iraq.

Media abandons Obama? The only reason they would do so is if she appears to be a stronger presidential candidate.

Grahamnesty - envy is such an ugly color on you.

Nah, if it all turns out well, Obama will take credit and the MSM will fall in behind. If it goes south, it’s Hillary’s fault and the media will make sure it looks that way.

We have a ‘President’ who does NOT understand wealth or power.
