I wish the president hadn't thrown this in the lap of Congress, it's sort of looking for help for his own lack of leadership, but the fact is, if the Congress turns down the president now, it's not only a blow to President Obama, I think…
Honestly, I think 100,000 people being slaughtered and doing nothing is a red line.
The problem is not that the President has done too much, however, but that he's done too little to achieve the goal of removing Gadhafi from power. The United States should be leading this effort, not trailing behind our adversaries.
Look, I think President Obama deserves enormous credit. It was a tough decision. It landed on his desk. As Harry Truman famously said, 'The buck stops here.'
