For 24-7 coverage, the best I have seen is CNN International. On my boat there were at three versions of this network with wall to wall coverage.

Sgrizz.  Can we call Obama a "neocon" now?

Assuming you were actually disgusted with the Bush admin's initiation of war 8 years back it would be cool to say the same about Obama.  Both candidates ran an anti-war campaign.

If you agree with one party's foreigner killing policy, it would pretty much make sense to agree with the other party's foreigner killing policy unless you choose to look like a hypocrite.

Economic and social policies between the parties are different.  Why can't the foreigner killing policies be different too?   :D

"Who The Hell Do You Think You Are?" Farrakhan Blasts Obama For Calling For Qaddafi to Step Down.

Michael Moore asks that he return his Nobel Prize.

More than 100 anti-war protesters were arrested outside the White House.

I think the liberals are being very consistent.

Even Gaddafi still praises him on the eve of 100 cruise missiles and B2 Bomber runs. 

"To our son, his excellency, Mr Baracka Hussein Obama. I have said to you before, that even if Libya and the United States of America enter into a war, god forbid, you will always remain a son. Your picture will not be changed."

What a president!  He can go to war from the beach in Rio, set a country aflame and still be praised by the enemy.

More good news is that there is still room in GITMO for Gaddafi!  ;)

Also. . .

Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Donna Edwards (Md.), Mike Capuano (Mass.), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Rob Andrews (N.J.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) all strongly raised objections to the constitutionality of the president's actions.

"They consulted the Arab League. They consulted the United Nations. They did not consult the United States Congress," one Democrat lawmaker said of the White House. "They're creating wreckage, and they can't obviate that by saying there are no boots on the ground. ... There aren't boots on the ground; there are Tomahawks in the air."

I see great consistency in the actions of liberals.

I am glad you think all liberals are exactly alike. No one cares.

Not alike. . . Consistent.

It must have been very painful for the President to phone in a decision on Libya, knowing full well that it would have a devastating effect on his popularity within liberal circles.

I commend him on finally taking action.  I also commend him in making the right decision.  Other presidents have had to make this same kind of decision and face the noise.  Personally, I didn't think he had it in him.

I am upset that when on the brink of another war, he couldn't cancel his vacation to at least be seen as a commander, but it is certainly better than nothing, and obviously the best he can muster.

Jamie Dupree was saying this morning it's rumored that Dennis Kucinich was calling for President Obama's impeachment on a conference call this weekend.  The troops are running amok it would seem.

I'm trying to figure out why it's important to the Obama administration to back a regime change in Libya.  Quadaffi Qadaffi Khadhaffi crazy, poorly dressed dictator doesn't seem to have committed any more human atrocities as Saddam Hussein had and Libya doesn't seem to raise near the threat to U.S. interests as Iraq or Iran does.

If you think the President considered his popularity with the Libyan people before deciding on whether to start military action, you are just plain stupid.

Personally, I didn't think you had such idiocy in you.

Dennis Kucinich is calling his actions "Impeachable." 

I would think that the liberal individuals on this forum would be happy that their ideological leadership is so consistent. It shows that they have principals. ???

I would think you would praise the President for starting a war that you clearly want.

No. You will attack President Obama no matter what he does.

If he doesn't start a war, you will complain. If he does start a war, he will say he doesn't do it fast enough.

You really need to get some perspective.
