*Good news. Now, can we impeach Obama, or are the Republicans still
salivating at the chance to crush him in the 2012 elections?*
*House rebukes Obama by rejecting measure to authorize Libyan campaign*

The House on Friday voted to reject a resolution that would have authorized
the military operation in Libya--delivering a rebuke to President Obama for
conducting the operation without congressional approval.
The vote was 123 to 295, with dozens of Democrats joining Republicans in
voting against the resolution. The proposal, modeled on one proposed in the
Senate by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), would
have given permission for a “limited” operation for one year. It would not
have allowed for U.S. ground troops in Libya.
This vote could be the prelude to an even sharper rebuke of President Obama.
Later on Friday, the House will vote on another resolution that would strip
away funding for offensive operations in Libya, including strikes by
unmanned U.S. drones.
Seventy Democrats and 225 Republicans voted against the resolution.
The debate before this vote revealed how the Libyan operation--launched at a
time when Congress was already weary of war in Iraq and Afghanistan--has
divided both parties.
