I understand why liberals are upset over this.
I also understand why conservative members of Congress are upset as well. Obama's decision to act in Libya flies in the face of the narrative they've been trying to establish since day 1 that he is soft on defense. Boner and other hawkish Pubs are really pissed that they no longer own the defense and war on terror issues lock stock and barrel.
Yes, Obama is playing fast and loose with the language on this, but the only reason it's an issue at all is because congressional republicans are worried about losing the high ground on this issue.
Almost every president in the last 100 years - regardless of party - has pushed the boundaries of his power as commander in chief. Not sure why it's suddenly such a big deal now.

Republican at the helm = savvy Commander in Chief leadership and putting the might of the US military to good use!
Democrat at the helm = poor Libya doesn't deserve such rash action let's argue in Congress for months and delay any military action until everyone agrees!
(Just flip the two perspectives if it's a Democrat posting while a Republican is in power)
Right. I don't think this is a Pub or Dem thing but an in power v out of power thing. Clinton bumped into in Kosovo, Bush with Iraq and now Obama in Libya. That being said, you would have to be blind to not see that Obama has really handled this poorly.
I'm betting money you don't believe half the crap you post.

When you have a candidate who campaigns on "I am different from the previous" and "I am change" then it gets frustrating when he does the exact same moves once in office.
