Obama says Gadhafi must leave Libya ‘now’
Daily Caller ^ | 2/26/11 | staff

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.

Obama is toppling Arab nations one by one and setting up the long awaited Islamic confederacy of states that will be overtly and covertly hostile to the United States and Israel.

I haven’t heard anything about that at all. In fact, I don’t recall the ‘Russkie hazelnut’ business. You may hear a lot of things on the radio that I never hear. I just read online and see some of Fox News. Sounds strange.

Please forgive Obama. He had an extremely busy schedule on Friday which prevented him from commenting earlier.

I’ve always liked Gaddafi.

I’ve heard that he loves America & our culture, the Marlboro Man and 50’s music. Americans have always been welcomed in Libya, even if officially they weren’t (during the embargo or whatever it was called). Customs officers were told to let any American in. The media has done a great job of vilifying him.

I really hopes he quells this Islamist nonsense. If he doesn’t, gas could be VERY high priced by July 4th.

If Libya goes down, Saudi will, too. Inevitable.

Actually I don't think Obama dislikes him so much. I understand Qaddafi was a big bank-roller for Rev Wright's "church." But just like the Rev, he had to be thrown under the bus.

But the UN has condemned Qadafi too, so there got to be some good there.

Well, Obama earmarked something like $400K to go to "charities" run by Qaddafi's kids that were involved in helping ships to run the Israeli blockade, among other things.

Qadaffy gives Obama the willies.Thast why I like Qadaffy.

You see Qadaffy is a thug like Obama, a far bigger thug who could actually reach out and touch Obama.

Obama’s step grand mom recently visited Qadaffi, causing a big stir by Obama.Fact is, Obama is scared of Qadaffie, for good reason.

As nutty as Moammar Gadhafi is, what he says about Al qaeda he has said before when he was not in a vulnerable situation. He had been the target of such radical islamist terrorists in the past (Post Terrorist Gadhafi).

Pot, meet kettle.
Obama is bound to blame Qaddafi directly if gas spikes up at the pumps.
Is it any wonder Obama does a very delicate dance around ALL these ‘trouble spots’, as he gauges how much he should say and WHEN? He knows his own Presidency is a boutique version of all of theirs, ‘threatened’ from within.

You mean, all that was necessary to “retire” Kadafi was to tell him to step down. Now, why didn’t the other President’s think to do that.
