Thanks in large part to air power, Obama hailed the ousting of Libya's dictator, who threatened to kill civilians.

In contrast to Obama's campaign warnings about you-know-who in the opposition you-know-what party, Obama's podium tone sounded overwhelmingly positive.

Is it too early to have Obama committed to an institution that can help him?
which is why the rest of the world wants him
except for the countries we’re protecting, the others want the US as weak as possible
