WH to Qadhafi: "Thanks, but no Thanks on Being President Forever."

[Clio the Leo]

Well crap! What am I going to do with all of the "Obama, Spock 2258" signs I just made?

Gibbs reacted to Muammar Qadhafi's colorful speech at the U.N. Wednesday, saying it was "Qadhafi being Qadhafi." He shot down the Libyan dictator's proposal that Barack Obama remain president "forever," joking: "Leaving aside the amendments to the Constitution that the president agrees with wholeheartedly, it would be an interesting concept to continue being president beyond one’s natural born life."

Qadhafi: Obama should be president forever
By Tony Romm - 09/23/09 02:34 PM ET
Libyan President Muammar al-Qadhafi showered Barack Obama with unexpected praise on Wednesday, telling the U.N. General Assembly he hoped Obama "can stay forever as the president of the United States."

It was, perhaps, the only kind words Qadhafi had for anyone in his hour-long speech, during which he vented against what he called the "inequality" of the United Nations.


"You are the beginning of a change," the Libyan leader said of the U.S. president. "But as far as I'm concerned, Obama is a glimpse in the dark for the four years or the next eight years, and I'm afraid that we may go back to square one. How can you guarantee America after Obama?"
