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.

Listening to ABC now (no choice). MSM is praising Obama. This bloodshed has been going on for over a week and Asshole 0 hasn’t said a word. Now the Leftist bastards in the MSM are praising him. Why are we even continuing to talk to these people?

I wouldn’t go that far, seeing how he was good at killing Americans in the 80’s. Hopefully, he’s on his way out regardless of Obama’s windmill-driven pronouncements.

LOL! Scaaaaaarrrrrrrry!

0h0m0llah needs to spend some quality Reggie-time with Qaddafi.

I’m sure 0h0m0 will change his mind after Qaddafi hires him to replace one of his female assistants.

I’m sure Qaddafi knows better than hiring 0b0z0 to protect him as a bodyguard.

Or what? We take him out ala Desert Storm? Somehow I don't see that happening.

Where's Hans Blix when you need him to deliver a strongly worded letter?

I think 0h0m0 should threaten to send Frau 0b0z0 to libya. Qaddafi will run, guaranteed.

Reminds me of the standup that robin williams did during the Reagan years when they bombed Libya. He had a number of funny lines about the incident.

I'm sure the earlier demonstration of "damn the torpedos" naval power via a ferry boat to pick up our stranded citizens has Gaddafi shaking in his silk booties.

I'm just waiting for the media spin on this when we're told that Obama defeated a dictator that Reagan couldn't bring down.

I'm going to hurl a kidney.

Quadafi must go but it was OK to leave Hussein in power in Iraq? Hussein gassed his own people. Oh yeah - Obama wasn’t President then.

Obama says this as he sends his union goons out to bloody our citizens.

Maybe. Probably even.

I'm much more worried about who is waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces.
