President formally announces no-fly zone

[somerfrost]

In a news conference a few minutes ago, President Obama formally announced that the US would have a "leadership role" in enforcing UN sanctions against the Lybian dictator to include a no-fly zone. I agree with this action as long as France, England and the Arab League take part as promised. Many Arab League countries have significant air forces, they want this action so they must assume responsibility with planes and funding.

Whoa, you mean he actually broke away from the tournament and his brackets to have an actual news conference.

Second one in two days, in case you haven't noticed, he got a slight set of issues in Japan on his plate along with problems in Bahrain, issues with Saudi Arabia and UAE as well as dealing with Congress etc.

Is the Justice League of America supporting this? If not, I cannot support this.

Justice League > Arab League.

Wow, I haven't. I didn't even realize anything happened in Japan until he mentioned it before breaking down the women's tourney.

Exactly, why is he filling out brackets on national TV? Do you think that looks disrespectful to all the nations under siege? A womens bracket too. I didn't even know that tournament was about to start.

No, I think even the President has a right to be a sports fan, of course there are many who will find fault with him no matter what so posts like that are predictable.

Even I feel a bit awkward playing races and watching basketball in the face of what is happening in the world right now. The President should suck it up and, I don't know, maybe try to be a leader or something. The fact that past Presidents have been just as lame is no excuse. He was elected for change and it's the same bullshyt. There are more than enough PG1985's out there to take care of the sports world.

I don't have a problem with him being a sports fan, I actually think that great (even though he is a fraud in that sense too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPUhulaRzpU about .29 secs in)

Why in the world does he think (or ESPN for that matter), that anyone cares on who he thinks is going to win the Men's or Woman's tourneys? Shame on ESPN for even giving him the platform to do it. How about he does a segment /breakdown on what he is going to do to prevent oil from staying at $100 a barrel. That might have been a bit more informative and productive then his little ESPN charade.

You said it, the guy has a few things on his plate right now.

This part is indeed disco certain. He really did that? That's one step up from watching bugs fight.

It's a little different than Congress. You have to be accountable as President. You can't be given an issue and instead of saying yes or no you punk out and say "PRESENT!" like some retarded teenager during home room roll call.
