VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) -- Following a day of dramatic developments in Libya, President Barack Obama said Sunday night that the situation there had reached a "tipping point" and that control of the capital was "slipping from the grasp of a tyrant."
He called on Moammar Gadhafi to accept reality and relinquish power.

With the kenyan in Maaatha’s Vineyard, our capitol has slipped from the grasp of the tyrant, if only temporarily. Maybe he will remain in exile there.
slipping from a tyrant? The USA? What, O is resigning???
“He called on Moammar Gadhafi to accept reality and relinquish power.”
Obuggery must learn to accept the same thing as his day of reckoning is rapidly approaching.
Yep Obozo to a Tyrant a 100 times worse!
Omullah’s friend Farrakhan sure spanked him over treachery to brother Qadaffy. The wookie sees the vacations coming to an end, she is no doubt giving hussein an earful. He is a complete and utter failure.
It takes a TYRANT to know a tyrant and since Emperor Obamessiah is ruling by fiat and decree, instead of as President of the United States, subject to the will of the people and to representative congress... Obama is a TYRANT!
I hope Kadafi beats the snot out of the rebels since most of them are Al Quaida a**hats to begin with.
I presume Gadhafi’s loss will be the Muslim Brotherhood’s gain?
If so this ought to make Valerie Jarrett and a few others in the WH quietly happy.
While Qadafi has been a ruthless dictator, too many are not thinking of what comes next. Many of these rebels are allied with Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood may take power in Egypt.
While Obama praises the Arab Spring and says that democracy will take root and all that, it’s not clear what will happen in Libya after this.
Can I remind everyone that Castro overthrew a ruthless dictator in Cuba, and installed a communist dictatorship? Is Cuba really better off for the last 50+ years? What if Al Qaeda allies take control in Libya and Egypt?
I would caution everyone that we just don’t know yet what the final result of the Arab Spring will be in all of these countries. Obama has no clue. I’m sure he will claim that our role in Libya helped push out Qadafi. See if see still takes such credit a year from now, if an Al Qaeda outlaw government is in control of Libya in the future.
I presume Gadhafi’s loss will be the Muslim Brotherhood’s gain?
If so this ought to make Valerie Jarrett and a few others in the WH quietly happy.
“control of the capital was “slipping from the grasp of a tyrant.”
And control of yet another country is slipping into the hands of Al Quada style theocratic tyrants.
If this were a 1930s Disney cartoon, wisps of black cloud would be forming over the Middle East, then growing and congealing until the entire region, from Beslan to Somalia, was concealed by an evil, pulsing black blob.
Ominous, minor-key music would crescendo. Occasional flashes of fiery red would be seen from deep within the cloud. This blob would slowly take the form of a huge, demonic biped with fearsome talons and fire for eyes. The monster would slowly turn its head to the west, fix its gaze on us, then attack.
FUBO
Jerry Rivers is a happy man tonight ... waiting on comments from McPain and most likely the newest global interventionist, Ricky Sanitarium ...
Any word from the champion of the Arab Pounce , The Giggler- AKA - Cooper 180 ?
Oh when o when will the situation here reach a “tipping point” and control of the capital in DC start “slipping from the grasp of a tyrant”???
To think Moammar called him Son, and this is how Obama pays him back.
I find it very curious that all this comes to a head while America is FReepin pissed that the markets lost 666 points thur and fri just before Obama hit the beach.
Now suddenly here he is, with another Osama bin Laden moment, just in time for the breaking of the dawn on Monday.
Color me skeptical.
You are definitely on track. Remember speech in Cairo - hussein’s signal to the islamists to bring it on. Ignored the freedom revolution in Iran. arming the moslem brotherhood and al queda in Libya. Negotiating with the taliban. Omullah is a pan-islamist and a pan-leninist one world islamic order guy with community activist workers paradise plans.
Prediction: the new Ohopenchange jobs plan in Sept will be to create a very large and highly armed and empowered civilian security force, within the DHS. Hundreds of thousands of new security screener jobs, in every community. Cameras everywhere to make us safe from terrorism - see something say something enforcers. Illegal immigrants can serve as a path to citizenship. Enough highways already, politicians can only shake down so many highway contractors before they have to take matters forcibly in hand..

This will crystalize dictatorship for the USA.
Libya is more tribally oriented than, say, Egypt. This is, in my opinion, going to devolve into a tribal civil war.
