On April 15, Obama, along with Cameron and Sarkozy, stated in an op-ed that bombing in Libya will continue until Gaddafi goes.
On April 20, a ABC News/Washington Post poll revealed that just 32% of the American public think the goal of our military actions should be to remove Gaddafi, while 62% either thought we shouldn’t be involved or should limit it to simply protecting civilians.
In addition, the stated goal has changed. See Glenn Greenwald on this switch.
And the constitutionality of the actions are questionable.
Regardless of whatever one thinks about US military involvement in Libya, these are all disturbing facts.
