What else would you expect from a group who hates, and has circumvented, the U.S. Constitution?
Politico reports:
President Barack Obama's foreign policy "A" team — led by Cabinet secretaries Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates — failed to quiet criticism of U.S. military action in Libya Wednesday during a pair of classified briefings on Capitol Hill.
More than anything, the meetings served to underscore how little influence Congress has in shaping the war.
Probably because our 'constitutional scholar' POTUS didn't go through Congress, as required by the U.S. Constitution. Obama tends to contradict himself a lot.
Lawmakers said they weren't told much by Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of Defense Gates, Joint Chiefs Chairman Michael Mullen or Director of National Intelligence James Clapper that they couldn't read in the newspaper or see on television.
They said one dynamic was very clear: The administration doesn't much care what Congress thinks about the actions it's taken so far.
Challenged on whether Obama overstepped his constitutional authority in attacking Libya without congressional approval, Clinton told lawmakers that White House lawyers were OK with it and that Obama has no plans to seek an endorsement from Congress, attendees told POLITICO.
And, as if to add insult to injury, news broke during the House briefing that Obama had already signed an order authorizing covert action in support of the rebels. When asked about it after the first briefing, House members were unaware the president had taken that action.
What is that word we call someone who believes they are above the rule of law and doesn't have to answer to the people? DICTATOR!
