Obama Shakes Hands With Libya's Qaddafi
President Obama's gesture was his latest effort to reach out to controversial world leaders in an attempt to improve the United States' standing around the world that he says was damaged by former President Bush's unilateral diplomacy.

President Obama shook hands with Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi Thursday, a sign that relations have improved considerably between the U.S. and the North African nation.
The two met as they posed for pictures ahead of a G-8 summit dinner hosted by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.
Obama's diplomatic gesture was his latest effort to reach out to controversial world leaders in an attempt to improve the United States' standing around the world, which he says was damaged by former President Bush's unilateral diplomacy.
But it was Bush who restored full diplomatic relations with Libya in 2006 after the formerly isolated country, which was recognized as a sponsor of terrorism, announced it was ending its weapons of mass destruction program.

What? He didn’t lick his shoes?
I was expecting at least another good bow.

Let me get this straight. Obama shook hand and made nice with the author of the Lockerbie and Berlin nightclub
bombing in which Americans were murdered.
What was he thinking?
You’re missing an “L” between the “B” and the “O”.
I am sure I saw I saw a picture of OBOZO HUSSIN French Kissing Quaddaffi before OBOZO Kissed the Actual Soles of Quaddaffi’s Muddy Shoes!
This is series.
I don’t know, but he did look eager and amorous..
sorry, for once i agree with obammy. mohmar has actually lived up to HIS agreements. maybe the one can learn something about this from him.
That about covers it.
Well he can rest easy now. I remember back when the US stated that ANY country there would be open for attack if they didn’t give up nukes WMD’s etc. and Qaddafi was the FIRST to give them up cause we meant business...that’s all over now. Come and join the overthrow of America. Obama is secretly building his desire for world domination. I’m not going to stand for it.
Bush did too, in a manner of speaking...
This is no big deal.
Obama is simply paying a compliment to the manly man, for his choice of wardrobe.
After all, the manly mans wardrobe is the same as his wife’s, as well as the iconic example he raises for the children of our country to follow, Michael Jackson. (bowing and remaining silent, I am.)
BTW... Is Jackson still dead?
Perfectly and Precisely Stated!! This KENYAN Born Imposter is a Great Danger to Not only America, but to Democracy and Humanity!! Betting that Quaddaffi knows were OBOZO was born and who funded him thru his years of avoiding work, going to Columbia and Harvardand traveling the World with seemingly limitless funds on Passports yet to be discovered, but known not to be American!
Let me get this straight: Qudaffi shook hands with the president of the country that sent some F-111’s (?) into his country one night and shot the crap up out of his little tent city in the desert, and probably sent him diving nose-first into a pile of camel dung. And killed one of his kids.
The reality is, that we have to kiss and make up and forget the past. We did it with the japs and the krauts and the vietnamese and the ruskies, and the chicoms. I will confess here: I have even shaken the hands of Yankees.
parsy, who thinks way too much is being made of this.
Who’s the freeper on FR who always says,move along,nothing to see hear.
And the Iraqis.
That’s funny, I don’t care who you are, that’s funny. Hey, if someone can pull this off, put together all of baraq’s pics of bowing to foreign arab kings and all the other things he is doing while at the same supposed to be representing our country. Pictures speak much louder than world.
Qaddafi: "Extradite Oliver North, John Poindexter.. the lot of the ones who bombed me. Clinton wouldn't do it. Will you?"
Obama: "I apologize for the American war crime -- you got 'em!"
I have posted before on this topic, but my view is that quadaffi has changed. I don’t know why, it could be any number of issues, including concern about how his successor would act (with NBC’s), concern about the rise of possible nbc terror outside of state control and how it would impact perceived sponsors, and certainly the economic benefits of reconciliation with the west.
The guy apparently turned over a substantial amount of material and info, so I don’t think it is the simplistic trick some freepers think.
I have a lot less of a problem with this than the chavez stuff, or obama’s attitude and love letter to iran, or bowing to king faud, or any number of other things.
I think Libya ‘flipped,’ at least while quadaffi is alive.
Obama gets that Tingling feeling running up his leg after holding hands with Qaddafi
Agreed......but Khadaffi aided the WOT. He gave us a huge dossier on Bin Ladin. People forget that Al Qaeda attempted to off Khadaffi for not being sufficiently radical.
Birds of a feather flock together
he was too busy checking out the arses of little girls to bow.
If he really bent over he’d get a better look.
No sarcasm tag necessary, right??
He richly deserved all of that and more.
There are more appropriate ways of showing our appreciation
to a thug like Q such as an envelope left on his mailbox or an audience with Hillary.
Thanks for the pic post: These two are relly clowns- now if only Obama had his famous mullah omar dress on that was called racist when published in Drudge before the election.
He’s never met a tin-horn dictator he didn’t like.
LOL
I saw the pic, and I couldn't help but think that Borat got him!
ping
It’s okay. They probably went to the same Madrassa growing up.
He is always smiling when shaking the hands of our enemies, The RNC better be adding this to their photo archive for political commercials in 2010 and 212.
“A radical, unstable african dictator shakes hands with Libya’s President”
Love it, love it, love it!
That’s funny! Good job. I was wondering if he and Michelle share fashion tips. It seems they dress similarly.
Good one bro......how true...
Ahhhh, I’d wish I’d killed Gaddafi.
I’d wished Gaddafi had perished in Operation Eldorado Canyon from a PGM dropped from an F-111 back in ‘86. Reagan didn’t kill him.
BHO is our #1 sworn enemy, and we’d wish we’d defeat him.
traitor
Reagan is spinning in his grave.........
This is surreal.
Qaddafi looks like the genie that was let out of the bottle. Wonder if BO gets his 3 wishes.
Let’s see, Qaddafi is both a Marxist and a Moslem. Do we know anyone else like that?
Bingo!!! hehehe
Zero seems to have an affinity for Michael Jackson mulatto Muslims.
