Thread: Reaction to President Obama's Speech Tonite....No watching "Talking Heads" allowed!

After his speech, & without listening to Fox or MSNBC...what did YOU think of his speech?

Don't have to worry about me watching pundits "break it down", although I won't be able to see it live, and will have to catch it online or something. I don't know.

Didn't watch it.

I've learned that when it comes to the silver-tongued devil, it's best to observe his actions...not his words.

Libya Live Blog - March 29
Rand Paul, a Republican US senator from Kentucky, has released a video response to President Obama's speech on Libya last night. In it, he criticises Obama for failing to consult Congress before launching a military action and questions whether the Liby
an opposition is a force the United States shiould support, suggesting it might contain elements of al-Qaeda.

"The problem with sending the US military to help rebels in Libya, or anywhere else, is that we are taking sides in a conflict and on behalf of people whom we know nothing about," Paul said. "When or if there is regime change in Libya, what kinda of leadership will replace Gaddafi? Who are the Libyan rebels exactly?"

Knucklehead, stop taking Gadaffy's side on this fight. We do know something about the rebel side...
