    Obama speech + Twitter Feed = LOLS!


    Erik Erickson:

    He starts by admitting "we led"

    "When our interests and values are at stake" we must act? So now he's okay with us going into Iraq?

    This sounds like George Bush's justification for Iraq War -- went to UN, built coalition, imposed sanctions, and then went in.

    Yes, the situation is terrible. But he still hasn't explained how intervention was in our national security interest

    Notice Obama says we'll transition to NATO, but basically summarizes that we'll still do all the work.

    Clinton will meet with 30 nations. Bush had 40 in Iraq

    Wait. Wait. Iraq had atrocities, an international mandate to go in, a broad coalition, Arab league support, etc. And Obama opposed that.

    WTF?! He just went on and on about how we're enabling regime change, but he's himself not supporting regime change? This is schizophrenic.

    Here comes the "I am George Bush, but I don't want you to think I am George Bush" line.

    We will "work with other nations to hasten the day when Gaddafi leaves power. " But we won't engage in regime change. Um . . non sequitur.

    This amounts to "regime change for sissies." We want regime change, we're just going to pretend not to. Um . . man up Mr. President.

    so if change is fiercely suppressed in Iran, should we go in there? You just said that is why we were going into Libya.

    Obama in 2002: "I suffer no illusions abt Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. . . . But I also know [he] poses no imminent & direct threat"

    The lefties are having heart attacks tonight. Bill Kristol is praising Barack Obama. We've come full circle.

    In a nutshell "Libya is not Iraq, Syria, Iran, or Yemen. I don't know why, but because I said so. And ignore Al Qaeda helping the rebels."

    RT @Kim_AE: "President Obama may be the only person who doesn't know that NATO is run by US forces."-John Bolton #Greta

    Joe Scarborough

    Barack Obama filling in blanks of GWBush's Iraq speeches, substituting Gaddafi for Saddam.

    Barack Obama. Neocon.

    Does the President consider Libyan lives more valuable than the lives of those being shot dead in Syria, Iran or Yemen?

    ....or the 300,000 people Saddam Hussein slaughtered?

    It is stunning how similar in tone this speech is to George W. Bush's Iraq speeches.

    Tony Hernanadez (re-tweeted by Erickson)

    Can't wait to hear the rebuttal that Senator Obama has in store towards President Obama.

    Shorter Obama: I was against regime change before I was for it.

    Tammy Bruce

    Glurb blah blah Me change furp Me Me pie revolution slurp Americans blah Me!!

    Lol! RT @TwitToNande: So, er...what time will Palin come on to let us know what he just said?

    We are all James Clapper now. None of us know what Obama is doing.

    Jim Geraghaty

    Obama: Look, I realize none of you understand my decision making, but at the end of the day, you can rest easy knowing I'm right.

    Obama on Libya: Look, just trust me on this one.

    Andy Levy

    This would've been a good speech to get Congress to authorize military action.

    If the straw men ever unionize, Obama's gonna be in trouble.

    Regardless of our political beliefs, surely we can all agree that President Bush has never sounded more eloquent.

    Lori Ziganto

    Obama: I'm totally NOT BUSH!11 Because, nuance. And stuff. Also, I dunno. Shaddup shaddup shaddup. But, thank me.

    Caleb Howe

    Obama: I authorized this war that is not a war, which is narrowly focused but broad in scope, so we could lead. As helpers.

    No, I don't know who a lot of those people are, some of them were re-tweet from those I do follow.
