And now that Obama hasn't confered with and sought approval from the U.S. Congress on Libya but instead the ....."U.N." the red scarves will say that's o.k. too.

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 (50 U.S.C. 1541–1548) was a United States Congress joint resolution providing that the President can send U.S. armed forces into action abroad only by authorization of Congress or if the United States is already under attack or serious threat. The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war. The resolution was passed by two-thirds of Congress, overriding a presidential veto.

Soooo

The complaint has been made he took two days to notify Congress.

The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action

I do believe he completed that within the appropriate time frame.

I also believe he has 60 days to obtain Congressional approval or a declaration of war.

forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war.

Welp, yes, I see I am right.

Your whole point and effort in the OP was to present things as if there were evil intent through come slimy collusion and that the whole affair was for purpose of giving away American jobs. My response was that whether there were or weren't business people directly in the same group was pointless and irrelevant as to intent, thinking that I did not need to mention that being this was openly about economic ties, then claiming something that would be a normal part of such occasion, such as business people being in attendance at a conference given by two such leaders, and to attempt to use such a commonplace and indeed expected audience would be completely nonsensical to adduce as evidence of mal intent.

And that the whole affair was to continue and even increase Brazil's desire for American exports. Please don't tell me that my response 'proved you right,' as your claim of American lost jobs in the planning turned out to be the exact opposite of the facts.

Nowhere in the report was there mentioned anything about who traveled in the President's immediate group, and any conference led by two Presidents of large countries will have a large audience, customarily more businessfolk than any other single group. (except occasionally in the US or UK if they run short of the full battalion of security needed to keep limit at 200 or so media people of the 5,000+ trying to flood everybody else out).

Also, it would make sense that we have an interest in attacking Libya.
What interest is there for the U.S.? The Europeans get most of Libya's oil.
