Fox & Friends on Obama’s AUMF: We Get It, You’re Not George Bush

President Barack Obama’s efforts to gain support for his authorization for use of military force submitted to Congress yesterday has lost the crucial Fox & Friends host block.

The troika was roundly unimpressed with Obama’s draft proposal authorizing limited force against ISIS, the Sunni militants who have been marauding across Iraq and Syria since last spring, and think the AUMF was primarily a political document meant to assuage Obama’s left-wing base.

“It seems it comes with a ton of restrictions,” said Elisabeth Hasselbeck. “Restricting the war fighting discretion of the president. Specific limits seem to be put in language of this agreement on ground troops. A limited time, really saying this is going to be done in three years. What does it say to the enemy? Pretty much outlining all we won’t do.”

“Can you please tell us what we’re going to do and not tell us what we’re not going to do?” Brian Kilmeade demanded. “It seems like the President’s caught up in 2008. He’s not George Bush! He wants to tell us every other day.”

“Or tell the enemy how long to wait us out,” Hasselbeck said.
