The so-called "conservatives" are busy reminding everyone how Obama abused presidential powers, so it's alright if Romney does it too. The same "conservatives" who chided Obama for going into Libya without congressional approval. I still remember Sarah Palin going off on Fox about it. The so-called "conservatives" who "hate" UN, now dusts off UN resolutions to justify going off to war without the Congress.
The so-called "liberals" are busy reminding everyone how Obama is 0.0001% less of a warmonger than Romney is, because Romney now has Bush's foreign policy team. Obama really went on a path of peace without the evil Bush team around, right? Obama's master stroke really was the silencing of the anti-war, civil libertarian left. Now all the "liberals" need to look out for is more handouts, to justify their loyalty towards Obama.
Are there any real honest-to-goodness conservatives or liberals left in America anymore?
Obama went before the UN and got that done? I thought that he was "leading from behind" on that while deliberately avoiding a vote in the US Congress, as he was afraid to appear before congress and make his case publicly and have it be open to debate.
The Libyan action was a stunning success especially when viewed against the abject failures of the Bush administration in the region. Libyan oil production is back strongly and the country is relatively quiet. I guess the obvious success that Obama has enjoyed in international affairs irritates the right such that they have to mischaracterize our involvement and diminish the credit that belongs to the Obama administration. Sorry, but people who know, know better.
How reassuring! Please remind me why the war-weary public should vote for this jackass again?
Because he's rich and we "little people" shouldn't stand in his way.
After all, America owes it to him for his long record of...
of...
of... closing down American companies and firing thousands of workers while he cleaned up.
Never mind the fact that he never bothered to serve in the military. And neither did his five healthy sons. He wants to start another war because that's what "famous" presidents do. And "little people" are supposed to fight wars that wealthy important people profit from. At taxpayer expense. While they call it "capitalism."

Yes, Obama did well "leading from behind" and following Europe's lead to have a nice end result, but did congress vote on Libya? Does Obama lack confidence in his ability to persuade congress that he couldn't even try to persuade and have a vote?
Candidate Obama (2008) says that President Obama acted unconstitutionally. What do you think? Who is right, candidate Obama or flip flopping President Obama? Don't be mad, because I agree with candidate Obama and not President Obama.Is Obama's War on Libya Constitutional? - Robert Schlesinger (usnews.com)

What are they complaining about? Didn't obama do that very thing with Libya? No
Funny, didn't seem to bother you when obama waged an illegal war in Libya without Congressional approval..did it? since congress did nothing about it, why are you bothered by it?
See, the Leftists who didn't squawk when obama did it really don't have a leg to stand on now.
So does that mean you approve of Romney starting a war with Iran?
UNSC resolution 1973 says "Hi!" and reminds you that it authorized "all necessary means to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas" in Libya.
Thats not an answer to the question. Recap...

Simply saying we need to do all necessary means to protect civilians is nothing new.
