42 years is quite a while to head a nation. Little Barry0 was 7 when Qaddafi began his rule.
IMHO, Gaddafi is exactly the kind of “leader” that Obozo would like to be, only on a much bigger scale.
Which is why Farrakhan is so nonplussed-—he sees them both as heroes and it kills him to watch Obozo send the military after Gaddafi.
