Obama is scheduled to speak at the National Defense University at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C. about Libya at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

[Fu-fu2]

Isn’t this speech a few weeks late? Shouldn’t the Commander-in-Chief deliver a speech like this from the Oval Office before initiating military action? I guess I’m “old school”...

[Sarah Barracuda]

I can’t look at his face either. When Clinton was President even though I didn’t like him I could at least watch his press conferences..with Obama, I just can’t stand his face..he makes me want to puke so I am watching some NBA

[hsalaw]

Now he's trying to say he did this because refugees would have destroyed the "fragile" Egyptian state. But it's NOT regime change. Oh, no; never that.

Gosh, he has a center TOTUS tonight - he looked straight at the camera.

[ladyvet]

Covering his flip-flop for not taking the guy out!

[Right_in_Virginia]

As president, refuses to wait for mass graves

Like in Iraq? In Iran?

[kabar]

[jennychase]

Repeating same on and on.

[Carlucci]

He’s completely and totally vindicating President George W. Bush with every single word tonight!

[NormsRevenge]

2 words, B S . I got your mandate here.

[marstegreg]

In other words Barack, you have a problem with the ability to prioritize your enemies

He also seems to have a problem with the ability to speak without his teleprompter!

[Boardwalk]

It’s tough to watch he is pointing now. Mandates and international support and its what the opposition has asked us to do. He is saying no US troops are on the ground. I CALL BULL!

[Gene Eric]

So what’s with Obama staring down the head-on camera?

[onyx]

onyx!!! Heeth wearing effing lip gloss. OMG!

I got up to look....closely! My TV shows that he's wearing a very light pancake make-up.....LOL.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

hey ...we are not taking out Khadaffi “by force”...

Here Khadaffi, here Kadhaffe...here kitty kittty..

Now attacks Iraq.

[raybbr]

I don't understand why he even needs a teleprompter. After all, they could simply program it into him...

[EverOnward]

You have more fortitude than I. I admire your willingness to suffer 0’s preaching and reporting it back to FR. Bless you.

[YLLady]

I want to know who did his make-up - will they be credited at the end of this “movie”???????

[sybilll]

I think Neda (RIP Iran 2009) understands graves. Where was Obama then?

[JRochelle]

What a bastard he is.

He had no problem with Saddam’s mass graves and slaughter. That was a-ok.

[ladyvet]

We went that way in Iraq....BUSH’s fault!
