Frosh GOPer On Foreign Affairs Committee Wonders If Obama Will Attack 'Africa' After Libya
The old joke goes that most people can't find whatever country the United States is at war with on a map.

Same seems to be true for Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA), a freshman congressman who also sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He's quoted in the Times-Tribune questioning President Obama's Libya strategy, and lack of deference to Congress.

"The bottom line is I wish the president would have told us, talked to Congress about what is the plan. Is there a plan? Is the mission to take Gadhafi out?" Mr. Marino asked.... "Where does it stop?" he said. "Do we go into Africa next? I don't want to sound callous or cold, but this could go on indefinitely around the world."

Yes, Libya is in Africa.

LOL.
This sounds like something Palin would say, not someone on the House Foreign Affairs Committee!
The republicans are sure doing a good job at letting America know just how dumb they are ;)

2. Why would Obama "attack Africa?"

After all, I thought he was from there?

:sarcasm:

But then again, the Rethugs probably don't know Kenya is in Africa either.



Edited for spelling

7. One day soon people will wake up and realize how ignorant the Right is.
I hope by then we can offer them a real choice instead of Bush Lite Obama.

10. The next step would be to go to Asia
and attack Switzerland. It's the only thing that makes sense.
