President Obama faces hard Libya sell
Politico ^ | 3/27/11 | JONATHAN ALLEN

Posted on 03/27/2011 6:18:48 PM PDT by ColdOne

When President Barack Obama addresses the nation Monday evening, nine days after launching airstrikes against Libyan strongman Muammar Qadhafi, his challenge is to convince the public that, congressional nail-biting aside, he acted swiftly and decisively in the national interest.

He has his work cut out for him.

LOL! The Drive-By's are desperately trying to set the stage for an "amazing comeback" after the speech is done, with huzzas about how he successfully "fought back" this "very difficult" sell...

Why does he even need to sell it? We’re not buying and he doesn’t care...

Quick, someone steal and destroy his teleprompters. I want to see this empty suit try to carry on a coherent conversation without having someone tell him what to say and him reading it off a machine.

Obama has become very adept at lying. This shouldn’t be a problem for him. It is the one thing he is really good at.

“What is the exit strategy from this quagmire? “

“Obama wanted to start this war from the very beginning of his Presidency.”

“Why did the war criminal Obama go it alone in his pre-emptive attack on a sovereign nation that was absolutely no threat to the US?”

“An illegal pre-emptive strike against Libya will only increase terrorism.”

“Money that our failing economy desperately needs is being spent on this illegal war, resulting in a deepening of the crisis in health care, education, housing, and employment here at home.”

“Hundreds of thousands of fellow human beings will die.”

“Libya is Barack Hussein Obamas Vietnam. “

“Did Allah tell Obama to end the tyranny in Libya?”

“If we allow this administration to rely on the power of violence rather than the rule of law, we the people will pay the price—not Barack Obama, not Joe Biden, . That fact alone justifies indictment of this administration.”

and where is the war criminal Joe Biden with his calls for impeachment?

“I have written an extensive legal memorandum with the help of a group of legal scholars who are sort of a stable of people, the best-known constitutional scholars in America, because for 17 years I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

“I asked them to put together [for] me a draft, which I’m now literally riding between towns editing, that I want to make clear and submit to the Untied States Senate pointing out the president has no authority to unilaterally attack Libya. And I want to make it clear, I want it on the record, and I want to make it clear, if he does, as chairman of the foreign relations committee and former chair of the judiciary committee, I will move to impeach him.”

Do any of these quotes look familiar? they should.

If the UN mandated the flyover, let the UN man the flyover. We cannot afford it, and Obama knows it! His speeches are photo-ops because the guy doesn’t know the meaning of the truth!

He's dumped it onto NATO, so he won't have much to say except for a bunch of platitudes and normal political gobbledygook.

Oh, I think that was supposed to be the Iraq war, you know, the reason the left elected him. They seem to have forgotten ‘bout that.

But heck, Mr. Nobel Peace Prize winner is too busy I guess.

Evidentally it's ok Congress. I do not hear the leadership in Congress out there concerned.

I'll quote John Bolton: "Anyone who doesn't know that NATO is just an extension of the US Military, doesn't know anything about NATO".

So tomorrow, when Obama says: "Now, let me make this very clear...NATO is in charge of this mission. It was designed by NATO and the mission will be totally run by NATO."

Mr. President: Can you define the mission?

According to my teleprompter..."NO" you contact NATO for a description of the mission.

This war is about jobs. Get world war III going and US has to build more weapons for NATO .... Good union jobs.

Do we want more GUNS or BUTTER? This is an economic war. Its a War for JOBS, TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS, and to Get re-elected as he wants to get people back to work with new jobs in the defense industry when all HELL breaks loose.

AXELROD AND OBUMMER have this scripted out to not only destroy the economy when WORLD WAR III erupts but he also knows that he can do anything he wants as he only answers to GEORGE SORO’S.

DumBO will use tomorrows read to outline his plans for a no-fly zone from Richmond, since, VCU took out his NCAA pick. He will explain how this racist act from a southern city was aimed at him personally and that it is to prevent further harm to other basketball teams.
