NO K----S! This author penned the correct question. And it's the question you K----s should be asking yourselves. However, you won't because you are so wedded to Barry based soley on racial identity and your liberal/socialist/communist bias.
What does Obama (aka Barry Sotero) really believe?

"The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. As commander in chief, the president does have a duty to protect and defend the United States. In instances of self-defense, the president would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent. History has shown us, time and again, however, that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the legislative branch. It is always preferable to have the informed consent of Congress prior to any military action."
That's what Sen. Barack Obama said in 2007.
In 2011, what did he do?
He unilaterally authorized a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.
So what gives?
Did Obama mean what he said in 2007?
Or has the Constitution changed between 2007 and now?
Or was Obama wrong in 2007?
Or is he wrong now?
Someone needs to put this question to him.
What does Barack Obama really believe about the proper role of the presidency under the Constitution with regard to use of the military?
I've never believed Obama cared a whit about the Constitution. I think he invokes the Constitution when it suits his immediate political agenda and disregards it when it doesn't. And I suggest to you his Libya policy is Exhibit A in making that case.
But I'll go further than that.
I don't trust Obama to use sound judgment in the use of the military under any circumstances whatsoever. If ever there were a presidency in need of oversight from Congress, this is it. He has no military experience. He does not have loyalty to the United States. His every action – foreign and domestic – seems to reflect a desire to bring America down, not lift it up. He has no sense of national security. No sense of propriety, no sense of principle.
He just goes with the flow.
The French and British ask him to bomb Libya with no particular objective in mind – he does it.
Not since Bill Clinton's tail wagged the dog to head off impeachment hearings has U.S. military force been used so cavalierly and without justification.
He's making Dennis Kucinich look like a statesman – and that's not easy.
This is a national scandal and a tragedy.
Military force should never be used as it is being used in Libya – without purpose, without defined objectives, without coherent strategy.
What is the goal?
Is it to topple Moammar Gadhafi? No, says Obama. It's a humanitarian mission. We're bombing Libya on a humanitarian mission – with little thought of actually toppling Gadhafi. Obama thinks he can straighten all this out in a few days – not weeks.
Good luck with that!
Nobody would like to see Gadhafi go more than me.
But this is not the way.
It's also important to give some thought to a replacement.
Obama hasn't.
It doesn't seem to matter to him. We've seen what happens when we show one Mideast dictator the door without concern about who comes in next.
Obama is making me embarrassed to be an American today.
God help all those precious young American men – and women – he is placing in harm's way.
This is shameful, tragic.
Where is it all leading? What is the game plan? Can anyone in this administration tell us? Can anyone in Congress tell us?
Why are Republicans being so accommodating?
Why are Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul the only voices of strong protest I hear from the Capitol?
Will some grown-up in Washington please stop this insanity now?
