Congressional authorization required for Obama to rescue an American POW, but none for bombing? [View all]
WTF is wrong with that picture? The outrage over Obama not playing nice with Congress before rescuing Bergdahl, versus sweet sounds of soothing approval for bombing and killing in another country? No permission necessary, bombs away.
Same picture where the military budget passes like a bowel movement after an overdose of Ex-Lax, but raising the minimum wage or extending EI or health school lunches or gun background checks gets chronically constipated, I guess.
