The parts I am reading are not very good from the MSM, which is not the fact that the reporting is not showing a favorable light on the information, it is more the case that the MSM is not blanket saying great things about the POTUS anymore. Don't know if this is a shift in support on their part, or the MSM trying to keep some kind of credibility by not singing his song at this time. Only time will tell what the reason behind this is.

The part that really scared the poop out of me
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton along with other world leaders will gather in London to discuss the country's future.
Oh crap, now what. She did such a great job as 1st lady with China, what is going to do now ?

The part that has really made me worried about this entire presidency is the fact that Clinton is Secretary of State, and the population very rarely hears from her, or what she is doing.
I noticed this straight out of the gate, Secretary of State Clinton would be making a speech, and it would only get the side window on the TV, and the White House press secretary would be making a speech about maybe making a speech, and the topic of the speech was to be determined after the meeting about having a meeting about the possibility of having a meeting was completed. The press secretary would not even mention the fact that Secretary of State Clinton was even talking at the same time.

Don't know how true, I have not found 3 sources to match this :
There are talks about the US might recognize the Libyan National Council as the legitimate leaders of Libya, and they might arm them, nothing is set in stone by the reporting ( and again, I cannot stress this, this is the MSM and is not verified by 2 non MSM sources yet ).

Nice part is Obama is figuring out how to fund the Libyan National Council with the money in frozen accounts to the tune of $ 30B. Good to see he believes that strongly in redistribution of wealth.

Used to be, many years ago, when the pres. came on TV you sat up and took notice because something important was about to be said. Now, it's just BS.

And many Combat Controllers from the Air Force too...

Its comical how differently the MSM is covering this war, errrrr I mean "kinetic miitary action" compared to Iraq. No Congressional approval, less nations in the coalition and yet still you would think Obama walks on water.

I saw the ABC article. Just deployed, arrive in a few days. Still set for offshore support, with ground possibilities if any evac needed.

So we don't have Marines in Libya yet as far as we know right?

Very true.
Actually when I see the POTUS is scheduled to talk, I know I am going to lose at least 3 deals that are in process.
Companies are trained to pull back on any CAPEX spending that is not the up-most critical, when Obama comes on TV.
The process starts over again in 30 days. Could be the same companies, most of the time it is new prospects that start to look at fixing things that are going wrong. I'll have the next round of deals in the pipe, just in time for "Mr Look at Me" to come on TV again.

We already have "boots on the ground", just not Marines, yet.

Yet another lie from Obama last week.

There is also the "factcheck" on his speech. Not very factual.

Quadaffi has claimed the Gulf of Sidra as Libyan waters since 1973, and vowed to defend it. Has cost him a few planes, too.

My guess is the vast majority of the 2,000 Marines are on ships in waters that Quadaffi says are his. So you could argue that these Marines are 'in' Libya, but they are not 'boots on the ground'. Yet.


Our Marines will certainly be among the first wave of UN or NATO 'Peacekeepers'.

Can't wait to see how convoluted their rules of egnagement will be.
