The congressional action has no immediate effect on American involvement

This is where it all goes wrong for me. This vote was a symbolic vote with nothing behind it. Obama will continue his oligarchy unchecked because good men choose to do nothing (I'm looking at you, Boehner!).

55 Dems voted to end this war, only 123 voted FOR it.

I’d like to see the list of those voting FOR, and compare it to the names on all of those anti-war resolutions passed during the Bush Years!!

“Some Democrats accused the GOP of playing politics with national security”

while others, including JERRY NADLER, said the president was becoming an absolute monarch and needs to be stopped....

hell finally froze over!

If funding continues then we may as well send congress home and make Obama emperor.

When the people aren't listened to by government, the people will no longer support the government financially.

“Some Democrats accused the GOP of playing politics with national security”

And the last decade of Democrat anti-war hate and lies goes right down in to the fires of the memory hole...

How many of the Dems who voted FOR this war, voted AGAINST Iraq and Afghanistan?

So what. Unless Obama is stopped, this just highlights the powerlessness of the Congress.

I think you nailed it!! The GOP is still as spineless as it has been for the past several decades and, IMO, will not take any further action to confront the POTUS. After all, if they do, he might not "like" them.

I just sent the following e-mail to Boehner:

"Hi John,

We understand the House has voted down a measure giving President Barack Obama the authority to continue the U.S. military action against Libya.

Great first step. Now you have to follow through in cutting off all funding.

If you need help, give me a call.

Thanks for listening."

Yeah hell has frozen over but we are talking about corrupt mob racist thugs.Obama will defy them. He does not care.He has said he would not mind being a one term President twice.He thinks he and Holder are WAY above the law and anybody.

Impeachment hearings should be underway soon as Obama has no character to resign. He has Fast and Furious Gate and ObamaLibyaMonarchGate now.His DOJ has tried to blame Issa for operation F&F. He will never admit he is wrong or broke a any laws becaise we have a racist mob running our WH.He is a sick narcissist that needs relieved of duty immediately.No ones skin color or half blackness should allow them to ruin America but it has.
