For the record, Obama has pretty much abandoned the far left of the spectrum ever since the healthcare debate and they're very aware of it. He's dragging his feet or has completely tossed out pretty much everything that the left wanted him for (ex. DADT, gay marriage, meaningful healthcare reform (read: public option), closing Gitmo, etc).
We'll remember that when it comes time to show this guy the door. Hopefully we can get someone slightly less retarded than him and his predecessor.

Don't cop out on 8+ years of telling us how wrong this is now just because it's "your guy" doing it this time, Mayo, because that's complete and utter bullshit.
You're right. That's exactly what I said.

There actually is a change here, considering the pretense for armed conflict isn't made up this time.
Despite being a Mexican Forklift Artiste, I'm good enough at English to understand exactly what you're implying there. The reasons given during the last administration were far more valid than "humanitarian aid," even if they turned out to be based on faulty evidence or information that could not later be substantiated by evidence in the field. We're only doing this because Libya doesn't have the ass to put down an insurrection and fend us off at the same time (or to just fend us off, period). Otherwise, we'd have had an "international coalition" to go into China long ago for "humanitarian aid."
