JERUSALEM As pressure mounts on the White House to intervene to stop Moammar Gadhafi's bloody crackdown in Libya, many commentators have been wondering why Barack Obama has been cautious in his criticism of the dictator after the U.S. president so fervently supported the removal from office of U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.
But Gadhafi has been tied to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's spiritual adviser for more than 23 years.
The Libyan dictator also has financed and strongly supported the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan. Obama has ties to Farrakhan and his controversial group.
So far, White House officials have called for an end to the violence but have seemingly ruled out any unilateral action in Libya. Despite Gadhafi's reported ordering of massacres that reportedly have killed hundreds of civilians in recent days, Obama hasn't called on Gadhafi to leave office.
Pressure has been mounting on Obama to take a tougher stand, with the chairmen of the House and Senate foreign relations committees calling on the White House to re-impose economic sanctions on Libya that were lifted in 2004.
But 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.

Hmmmmm...chickens coming home to roost? to quote the Rev.
The only surprise here is that the news finally got out.
Reagan or GW Bush would have had 5,000 US Marines off Tripoli right now flying rescues in and out and getting US Citizens safely out of our citizens while killing anybody in the way.
God bless them both.
Obama is going to get us all killed.
Might be. Also a wee bit of dictator envy?
Did not Odumbo march in Farakkhan ‘s Million Man March?
Is there some possibility that Odumbo received large sums of Money from Libya through his illegal dnations from foreigners that used untraceable debit cards in foreign exchange rates that ended with odd number of cents. He is afraid that Q has some goods on him that would cause trouble for the socialist’s father (goat herder) from Kenya getting into the media. maybe Q knows where Odumbo truly was born.
It’s my understanding that Americans are being ferried out of Libya and will be charged for it as well.
Is not there a picture of Odumbo and Qaddafi shaking hands and so forth. Probably speaking in beudoin arabic to one another the language of goat herders.
Now this is a very interesting idea!
"We share the same goal and love for Rev. Wright."
Both General Electric and BP have holdings in Libya.
The Stench around Obozo HUSSEIN continues to escalate! as if it could get even worse than who he was when elected!
The Democracy revolution in Wisconsin is way more important for him.
Interesting that Obozo HUSSEIN always sides with Our Enemies and NEVER with Our Long Term Allies! He Hates England,Hondoras,Israel,Eqypt,Australia,Germany et al,and sides with Quaddaffi, Imanutjob, Chavez, Odinga and Hezbollah even in Mexico, among other Terrorists like William Ayers, George Soros,Terayzaa Heinz, Lurch Kerry, Piglousey, Dinghy Harry Reid and a Million other America Hating Terrorists!
Sounds about right to me, knowing Obama as I do by now.
Holy cr@p- I remember that now. It seemed an odd friendship at the time it came up during the chickens roosting period.
Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, hell, even Alex Jones couldn’t MAKE THIS STUFF UP.
It hasn't. This was published in World Nut Daily. Nobody reads it.
