The whole republican party seems to have shit the bed on this one. Using lies, during a seriously tragic event, for political gain… classy guys. Reeeeally classy. I was on set for 9 hours today and still heard about the media shit storm Romney launched himself into.
Also, in case you live under a rock, let me lay out some Libyan war fun facts for you. The reason Obama gave the go ahead to bomb Gaddafi, was because he was on the ground, on the way to launch a genocide of about a million people in what he was declaring an, “ethnic cleansing of Libya”. The UK and France we’re on board to create a no fly zone, which would have been more politically safe than launching an attack, would have covered his presidential back, but since Gaddafi wasn’t in the air to launch his genocide, a no fly zone would have done nothing to save those people. So there you have your new fun fact any time anyone starts shooting their mouth off about Obama “getting us into a war with Libya”. Seems a hell of a lot more justified than launching a war on a noun, which has no discernable end like POTUS #43 did.
