Liberal Democrats in uproar over Libya action

kucinich is a dumbass. He should have known that a: obama doesn't ask anybody if he can do anything, and b: with the entire world calling obama a big pussy, he didn't really have a choice. I mean, think about it, when FRANCE seems like it has more balls than us, something is wrong, real wrong.

If you ask me, I think obama was shamed into action. It was kind of funny though, after the decision was made by France and England, obama acted like he had been on board the entire time, which is bullshit, and started talking tough.

It's also funny that he is getting kicked in the nuts by those who used to be his base. He just continues to alienate the entire world. When liberal socialist democrats like maxine waters and sheila jackson lee turn against him it's gonna be a long tough ride to 2012...

A hard-core group of liberal House Democrats is questioning the constitutionality of U.S. missile strikes against Libya, with one lawmaker raising the prospect of impeachment during a Democratic Caucus conference call on Saturday.

Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Donna Edwards (Md.), Mike Capuano (Mass.), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Rob Andrews (N.J.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) “all strongly raised objections to the constitutionality of the president’s actions” during that call, said two Democratic lawmakers who took part.

Kucinich, who wanted to bring impeachment articles against both former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney over Iraq — only to be blocked by his own leadership — asked why the U.S. missile strikes aren’t impeachable offenses.

Kucinich also questioned why Democratic leaders didn’t object when President Barack Obama told them of his plan for American participation in enforcing the Libyan no-fly zone during a White House Situation Room meeting on Friday, sources told POLITICO.
