That blog is lying. The trip was in 1984, and Obama didn't go: During the 2008 presidential campaign, Wright himself noted the trip could cause problems for Obama. "When [Obama's] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit [Gadhafi] with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell." http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=267361

(Like the Ft Hood Killer, James Earl Ray was just stressed when he killed MLK Jr.)

There’s enough to hammer Obama with, without using lies.

That blog is lying. The trip was in 1984, and Obama didn't go: Yes I think you're right on that one, but there are ties. As the WND article says, "Obama has multiple close ties to activists who have had relationships with Gadhafi.
Jeremiah Wright, former pastor of Obama's longtime Chicago church, went with Farrakhan to visit Gadhafi in 1984. "
IMHO Having ties to people funded by Gadaffi wouldn't rise to an impeachable offense, but it would be embarassing to the regime and it does explain a lot.

In July 1987 there was a meeting held in Chicago of the World Islamic Peoples Congress. The organization’s president was Qaddafi (who did not appear) and its Vice President was Louis Farrakhan who served as host. I would wager that if you could find the attendance records you would find both Wright and Obama attended the conference.
