Kucinch critique turns into push for funds
By: CNN's Rebecca Stewart

(CNN)- Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich is transforming his critique of President Obama's actions in Libya into a fundraising plea, asking supporters to decide whether they like President Obama or the Constitution more.

After calling the president's decision to act in Libya an "impeachable offense," Kucinich Monday posted a letter on his website asking supporters for help in "putting together a broad fundraising structure to make sure that I'll have the resources to continue to be a voice in the Unites States Congress."

pun intended

5. Why did Kucinich call the Iraq war illegal and

claim Bush should be impeached for launching it?

Bush got an AUMF. Kucinich wanted to impeach Bush for doing what he claims Obama should have done.

The difference is that President Obama didn't lie to Congress.

The U.N. considered the attack on Iraq illegal, it sanctioned the Libya no-fly zone.

President Obama acted under the U.N. Charter and fulfilled the requirements of the War Powers Act: Consulted with Congress, notified Congress within 48 hours and now has 60 days to submit a report.

11. I've come to accept he's a grandstanding jerk.

I still don't support going into Libya---but impeachment is BS.

Bernie Sanders makes sense. Dennis makes noise.

7. Shocker!

Where are his DU defenders?

[ZombieHorde]

17. I love DK. I don't care if he is asking for money. nt

[Arkana]

19. You don't see how it could be interpreted as "Kucinich makes front pages

by calling the President a war criminal so that donations will increase"?

[ZombieHorde]

23. I absolutely see how people could use that interpretation.

I love DK because he adds to the diversity of arguments being made in Washington. Asking for money does not change this.

8. He's our very own Michelle Bachmann, and an embarrassment.

:thumbsdown:

[krabigirl]

26. Wow. DU has sure changed. Scary stuff.

[vaberella]

10. This man is over the edge. Is this also "consistent" to who he is?

I wonder how well this post will go in the GD section.

[Very_Boring_Name]

12. He's taking directions from the aliens

[CreekDog]

13. yeah and you know what the real crime is?

if he gets his way politically, we'll probably tax the wealthy to educate and care for little kids! :wtf:

[cottonseed]

21. Dennis's way politically is reelection and grandstanding. And suing our own govt over his soft teeth

I don't know, but authoring 1 actual bill in all the time he's been in office, basically means to me he's just wasting space.

[Arkana]

14. Wow, how shameless.

"See? See? I called the President a war criminal! Donate to me! Please?"
