Pathetic. Obama is trashing the Constitution for these pigs?
Shocking! Extremist in a Mideast uprising... /s

duh
I can’t imagine Leon Panetta as head of the CIA. But the sad thing is that we’ve got worse people in there.
“Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the United States would give $26 million in humanitarian relief for Libya, bringing total U.S. aid to $81 million.”
Uh, excuse me. Libya is a big oil exporting country, should be pretty affluent.
Why are we chipping in for humanitarian relief? I guess if we’re also bailing out the madly irresponsible Greeks, we might as well spread it around. Who’s next?
Boehner, you pathetic RINO. Do something!
MAY???
