Obama calls Congress on Libya

President Obama plans to call members of Congress on Friday to update them on “what we’ve accomplished” in Libya, the White House announced.

The call is part of Obama’s “consultations with Congress,” White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters on Friday. Legislators of both parties have been critical of Obama for not going to Congress before deciding to attack Libya.

“He will update them on the situation in Libya, what we've accomplished thus far,” Carney said. “And he will update them on the transition of command control to NATO.”

He’s going to call them today? Aren’t they on vacation until Monday? Guess he doesn’t want to meet them face to face. Note that he doesn’t go on TV much lately? He doesn’t want to face the people either.

Update Congress on what’s been accomplished?

Doesn’t really work that way. He’s supposed to ask Congress, first.

Oh well, as long as the U.N., the Arab League and France are cool with it, who really needs Congress anyway.

The Constitution is such a bother.

Obama thinks Obamacare is an 'accomplishment', one of his best ....... I wonder what his definition of 'accomplishment' is in the context of his Kinetic Military Action?

Just give Congress a call that will make his illegal actions OK. I am saving a really good bottle of Cabernet to drink while I watch them read off the Articles of Impeachment on this clown.
