http://www.thenation.com/blog/159353/wa ... presidentsThat is what Congressman Dennis Kucinich proposed, when he declared last week that “Congress should be called back into session immediately to decide whether or not to authorize the United States’ participation in a military strike. If it does not, the action of the President is contrary to [the] US Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution clearly states that the United States Congress has the power to declare war. The President does not. That was the Founders’ intent.”
Good Job Congressman!

Hey Stephen. Long time no see.
What do you think of this warmonger, huh? 3 wars at once? Beats anything Bush did. Hey, and the fact that most of Europe (France and England) get the majority of their oil from Libya, this couldn't possibly be a war over oil, could it??

Hey Roy!!!
Obama is nothing more than a Bush on steroids
... I am hoping that Hillary Clinton will run as independent in 2012.. The Obama hype is coming home to roost. Unfortunately, he was not ready for the job.

War for oil? No, it’s just stimulating the economy. All those Tomahawk missiles need to be replaced. It’s only a quarter of a billion dollars. Isn’t that pocket change for congress nowadays?

Are you saying that there is someone less qualified than Obama running for president?

Palin? Romney? Take your pick.
Not necessarily a huge fan of Obama, but definitely less scary than any of what the GOP is putting out there.

I am not a big fan of either romeny or sarah.. It is sad to say that Sarah has more executive experience than Obama.. Romeny, I wouldn't even buy a used car from him

I believe that Hillary Clinton could turn things around for this country. She is definitely one of the most qualified candidates. (8 active years in the whitehouse)

Stephen--- simply occupying a position does not necessarily translate into experience. In fact, her brief time as an executive, before she just up and quit, only proves that the tea bagger cheerleader tryouts just didn't work out.
