WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi must leave the country now.
Obama made the comments to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a private telephone conversation Saturday as they discussed the violence in Libya. The White House says Obama told Merkel that when a leader’s only means of holding power is to use violence against his people, then he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what’s right for his country by “leaving now.”
The comments mark the first time that Obama has called on Gadhafi to step down.

Personally, I think Old Moammar might be telling the truth about his rivals.
Zero should heed his own advice.....
You know, Qadaffi’s heard it all, from Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush. I’m betting he doesn’t care that much about what Barry-O says.
It's so hard to be a Leftist despot in America dontcha know?
But four more years of socialist tyranny is becoming more and more necessary to finish the US—oops,I mean finish the job of hope and change in the US...
Go Muammar!

Time for Barrack Hussein Osama Obama to leave. Now.
Now if the Libyan Dictator (however you want to spell his name) leaves, the Liberal Media will credit the Liberal Messiah with liberating Libya. That’s why the Liberal Messiah made this statement.
I thought Obama said the reason America was always in trouble over there was because we keep butting in and that he wouldn’t. Seems Obama LIED.
The White House says Obama told Merkel that when a leader’s only means of holding power is to use violence against his people, then he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what’s right for his country by “leaving now.”
You mean like having the Union hold the American people and economy hostage until he gets his way? It kinda sound a little too similar for my liking.
I suppose Obama is going to go over there and tell him that in person?
President Obama: Step down from the Presidency. Now.
Before it's too late for our republic.
As if an Obama decree is going make the likes of Gadhafi take notice...
I am so ashamed of my country's "leadership."
The difference is the rest of them had the courage to tell him directly.
Hussein is the last Western “leader” (I use the word leader for Hussein with tongue firmly in cheek) to speak out on Libya.
Now, Hussein pretends to be taking a stand.
What a joke.
Did Hussein ask for the American taxpayer’s $400,000 back?
I have the perfect solution . Send obama to Libya to replace Gadhafi permanently.
