Prs. Obama condemns Libya for the violence, but never once condemns Qadaffhi...

Obama has made it very clear where his loyalties are.

While those who have responded to this post are so adamant in their condemnation of Obama, they are discounting the diplomacy efforts that are being made behind the scenes of this devastating situation in Libya. The administration of necessity has to show a public face and respond to the revolution in a general public manner. The president of the United States cannot stand up in front of international news agencies and call the leader of another country a crazy man. That is not protocol. Is that what you all want him to do? He has publicly condemned the violence and encouraged the Libyan administration to cease and desist with killing their own citizens. We still have Americans in that country who are sitting ducks should Qadaffhi become offended enough to bomb that ferry or take aerial potshots at them. Diplomacy is going through the appropriate channels to investigate the possibility of declaring a no-fly zone over Tripoli and environs. Diplomacy is talking with the UN and other nations about the possiblity of action to defend the Libyan citizens. We do not know what all is taking place behind the scenes and it is premature of us to be lambasting our president and the administration for not doing things when we don't know what they ARE doing. I am ashamed to hear and see Americans taking such a negative attitude about all of this when we just don't know. Please reserve your hateful judgements until the crisis is resolved and you actually know what all has been done.

Hussein Obama has TOO many close ties to people who are BEST BUDDIES of Qaddafi. There is no way Hussein Obama is going to do a thing for the people of Libya and damage his ties with Qaddafi and friends. The old saying "cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind. Hussein did get his campaign money from somewhere in the Mideast...it certainly did not all come from here. Of course since most of it came via the internet no one will ever know how much he received or where it actually all came from.

The people of Libya were very disappointed, I heard. They thought they would get some support from the prez but he may as well have not said anything. What a disappointment he is, what a disaster his presidency has been. We'll be in awful shape by election time. I really don't know what I expected him to say, though. I don't want our soldiers in another conflict and I think we should stay out of everyone's business but the way the Middle East is burning up right now I wish someone would be able to do something. Kadaffi is murdering his own people.

I read somewhere that it's because Obama's former church and 'Pastor'(and I use the term loosely) Wright was close to Qaddafi, along with Louis Farrakhan. Apparently old Qaddafi Duck gave them quite a bit of money and supported their tax evasion, er, I mean, 'church'. In fact, I think last time Qaddafi came here he visited Calypso Louie in Chicago.

I guess he is trying to cover himself and US Foreign Policy in case he stays in power? Just a guess though...
