The Hypocrisy of Obama

Maybe it's just me, but Obama launching air strikes on Libya in the middle of two wars, while still recovering from the recession seems just a little bit hypocritical. No, not just me? OK, cool. This post will be very brief then. Here are some quotes that prove my point!

From Obama:
"The President does not have Constitutional authority to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." - Dec 20, 2007. 
But it's ok this time, because the UN and NATO are behind us... huh?
"Everybody is already talking about our deficit, why would we want to add to it?" - Nov 7, 2010
Each Tomahawk cruise missile costs roughly $1 million. We launched over 100 in Libya. You do the math!

And Biden (referring to his statements that if President Bush had attacked Iran, it would have been an impeachable offense):
"The President has no Constitutional authority to take this country to war...and if he does I will move to impeach him."
My feelings and opinions on the current wars we are fighting and whether or not we should have intervened in Libya are irrelevant to this post. The goal was to show you that Obama is a hypocrite. Hopefully my brief post makes that obvious!
