(CNSNews.com) - As a presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama (D.-Ill.) emphatically stated that the Constitution does not give the president the authority to unilaterally authorize a military attack unless it is needed to stop an actual or imminent attack on the United States.

Obama made the assertion in a Dec. 20, 2007 interview with the Boston Globe when reporter Charlie Savage asked him under what circumstances the president would have the constitutional authority to bomb Iran without first seeking authorization from Congress.

Kliphnote: Just remember this; Bush got the OK from congress to 

invade(and for good reason) Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama didn't.

What say you, lefthead? Oh, I can hear the excuses now.

Fact: Bush Had 2 Times More Coalition Partners in Iraq Than Obama Has in Libya
