Libyan Leader Implores NATO to Stop Attacks, but Holds Obama in High Regard

ABC News has obtained a copy of a letter from Libya 's Colonel Moammar Gadhafi to President Barack Obama, in which Gadhafi refers to Obama as "our son ," an affectionate honorific in that part of the world by an elder to someone younger.

"We have been hurt more morally that [sic] physically because what had happened against us in both deeds and words by you. Despite all this you will always remain our son whatever happened," the Libyan leader wrote to the American president. At another point in the letter, dated April 5, Gadhafi refers to Obama as "[o]ur dear son, Excellency, Baraka Hussein Abu oumama."

Gadhafi uses the familial term as an indication of the high regard in which the Libyan leader holds Obama – still, despite a call for regime change and bombing of Libya.

In the letter, Gadhafi even hopes for Obama's reelection.

"We still pray that you continue to be president of the U.S.A. We Endeavor [sic] and hope that you will gain victory in the new election compaigne [sic]. You are a man who has enough courage to annul a wrong and mistaken action," Gadhafi wrote. "I am sure that you are able to shoulder the responsibility for that."

The letter was sent from the Libyan foreign ministry and received by Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman, who forwarded it to the White House.

Yes, a terrorist, thug and mass murderer loves Obama. Can you imagine what the Democrats and the media (same thing) would be saying if a tyrannt with American blood on his hands were praising Bush or a Republican president? Heck, they attacked Bush merely for helping the Saudi king walk over a rough patch of walkway at his rance. Instead, this story is written almost as if to praise Obama for garnering the respect of a cockroach like Gadhafi.

I told you folks that POTUS Obama is in bed Qaddafi. The “team”, Obama, Farrakhan, Wright, Jones, Power, Clinton, Jarrett, Qaddafi are all birds of a feather working their destruction of the American nation and republic. Donald Trump and Glenn Beck have Obama wired from head to toe. The good news is that Blacks and Hispanics are beginning to throw Obama under the bus, little by little. Obama’s polling numbers are dropping within each group. Black Americans are realizing they will pay a painful price for supporting this avid America hater. Democrat Party, broom this dude Obama or go down with him!!!

Sewage, like water, always seeks its own level.
