Lindsey Graham says GOP opposed Libya mission because Obama was president

[one...two...tree 2,762]

WASHINGTON — Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., hailed the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi Thursday but chastised Congress for its hesitance to assist anti-Gadhafi Libyan rebels and for criticizing President Barack Obama’s use of U.S. military resources to assist in air strikes.

“I’m very disappointed in Congress,” said Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Congress took an irrational view of the War Powers Act. I guarantee you that a lot Republicans who wanted the War Power Act invoked would not have asked for it to be invoked if President Obama were not president. To me, national security should be as bipartisan as possible.”

Libya has squat to do with our national security.

I suspected they had intel which showed Libya was involved in things which prompted this.

NOw that Obamas finger prints are all over that countries revolution, he has a vested interest to drag us further in to make sure that country does not blow up in his face (figuratively speaking.)

I like and admire Lindsey Graham.

Even though he just might be a gay Republican who keeps his private life to himself because it's nobody else's goddamn business.

ESPECIALLY because he just might be a gay Republican who keeps his private life to himself because it's nobody else's goddamn business.

With no evidence that I am aware of....one wonders why you slander him?

Personal life

Graham has never been married and, when questioned by Robert Draper of the New York Times, said, "I know it's really going to upset a lot of gay men—I'm sure hundreds of them are going to be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge—but I ain't available; I ain't gay. Sorry."[50]

Same-sex marriage

As a member of the House of Representatives, in 1996 Graham voted for the Defense of Marriage Act.[37] As a Senator, in 2004 he voted for the Federal Marriage Amendment.[38] He received a rating of 0% from the gay rights group Human Rights Campaign in each reporting period from 1995-2008, with the exception of 1999, when he received a rating of 9%.[39]

I'm not slandering him. I said he may be gay. He also may not be. Frankly, it's really not important. It's his business, it's his life and it has nothing to do with his fitness to serve.

Wonder why you call the president a socialist muslim from Kenya, no proof of such, yet you lob acerbic characterizations at the president, with no proof. Convenient Danno.

There you go again.

What you should do is post an example of me Calling Obamer a Kenyan or Muslim.

He is one with Socialistic leaning, no doubt about it.

Put up err shut up.
