Obama to speak again on Libya from Brazil within the hour (about 3:45 p.m. EDT.)

Fox News Channel reporting first U.S. Tomahawk missiles launched against Libya.

Earlier, the AP reported the U.S. was planning such attacks on Libya's air defense systems.

A Pentagon briefing will follow Obama's remarks.

When my baby,

When my baby smiles at me,

I go to Rio

De Janeiro.

My-o me-o...

I go wild and then

I have to do the samba,

And la bamba.

Now I'm not the kind of person,

With a passion or persuasion

For dancin' or romancin'.

But I give in to the rhythm,

And my feet follow the beating

Of my heart.

whoa oh ohh...

When my baby,

When my baby smiles at me,

I go to Rio

De Janeiro.

I'm a Salsa fella, When my baby smiles at me, The sun lightens up my life, And I am free at last. What a blast! Whoa oh ohh... When my baby, When my baby smiles at me, I feel like Tarzan Of the Jungle. There on the hot sand, In a bungalow While monkies play above-a, We'll make love-a. Now I'm not the kind To let vibrations, Trigger my imagination Easily. No, that's just not me. But I turn into a tiger, Everytime I get the sight of, What I love, love, love. Ohh oh oh... When my baby, When my baby smiles at me, I go to Rio De Janeiro. I'm a Salsa fella, When my baby smiles at me The sun lightens up my life, And I am free at last. What a blast! Wooooo hooooo... whoa oh oh ohh... whoa oh ohh... When my baby, When my baby smiles at me, I go to Rio De Janeiro. I'm a Salsa fella, When my baby smiles at me The sun lightens up my life, And I am free at last. What a blast!

House leader Boner will do nothing except for supporting Obama. The Republicans will end up supporting this war. Obama is very smart because he knows this.

Let’s see, An undocumented Kenyan tricks American to become pRes_ _ent, running a War not voted on by Congress AND while outside the USA, probably while putting the USA down, too (certainly, in his Arabic version). Now that is not only incredibly nuanced, but if it was written up as a Hollywood Treatment more than 4 years ago, it would be have been dismissed with a laugh as psychedelic/psychotic fantasy.

Let me add something......

Has the Kenyan bowed to the leaders of Brazil yet?

"And I am free at last. What a blast!"

Somehow the words fit the situation, unfortunately.

Hillary's now on the hook for what happens.

The U.N. overrides the Constitution in this administration.

(As does every other little whim zero has.)

Ain't that the %$#%$ truth.

[manc]

not just that he goes over there but he takes his family nad even the MIL on our dime .
Not one reporter, so called has asked why this could not have been done over the phone and why is the family, MIL over there?
No mention of the protests either I see.

What a slap in the face to all of America

[manc]

are the DU heads any pissed off that while the world is in turmoil he goes over there, takes his family, takes the MIL and then is having war?

It’s slap in the face and have they mentioned anything about the protests for obama

[newzjunkey]

So much for the “logistical support” Fox News Radio claimed our forces would be limited to.

[ladyvet]

Not really. See we are “just supporting” this little war. He can chew gum and walk at the same time. He plays three dimensional chess, and us peons are not smart enough to understand him.

[jenk]

I know, right? I've been singing it all day, he says he went down to Brasseele to learn how to make our economy boom like theirs. They have a population of 600 million, and their growth was 6% last year, and ours was only 2.8%.

FREE AT LAST!

[manc]

got it thank you.
This freeloading MIL needs to pay for her own food, vacations etc.

Sick of these freeloaders living in our house using our money to party, dine and vacation and now goes to war, WTH.

[MagUSNRET]

Yes....but she is “ENTITLED” dontcha know (puke)

[reagandemocrat]

More importantly, how’re his brackets doing?

[Walleye_Walter]

LOL, I didn’t mean to be preaching to the choir.

Sorry my FRiend!

[napscoordinator]

This is precisely why I put Obama as second worst after Carter.....Carter was such a pansy and would never do what was done today. Obama at least showed some leadership......even though it was really Hillary but he gets credit anyway.

[napscoordinator]

I love the way this idiot launches a war from outside the country.

Everyone here says he is supposed to be 24 hours when he plays golf. The guy actually made a decision on vacation and he gets criticized. This is a great day for America and you are trying to spoil it.......

[potlatch]

Looks good devolve! You changed your tagline.

[napscoordinator]

Is there a FReeper Constitutional attorney that knows whether Congress should be declaring this a war or not?

Never heard of the War Act I see....
