With Friends Like These...


Joining the ranks of the Castro brothers, Hugo Chavez, and other left-wing blatherskites wreaking havoc across the globe, Muammar Gadhafi, the insane president of Lybia, gushed over President Obama and endorsed him, well, "forever" during his 94-minute rambling screed at the UN yesterday. Is anyone surprised by this coquet between Obama and the world's fringe elements? You'd think the White House would be embarrassed. Certainly, Americans are. From Politico:
Qadhafi railed against the United Nations for giving the United States and a few other countries veto power over its actions. But he had surprisingly warm words for Obama.

“We Africans are happy, proud, that a son of Africans governs the United States of America,” the Libyan leader said. “This is a historic event. ... This is a great thing.” “Obama is a glimpse in the darkness after four or eight years,” said Qadhafi, who referred to Obama as “my son.” “We are content and happy if Obama can stay forever as president of the United States.”

The Libyan leader, who at times rummaged through a sea of handwritten yellow papers spread across the lectern, also praised Obama for taking a “completely different” approach to nuclear proliferation and other issues than his predecessor did.
