Barrel Strength

Muammar “Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution” al-Gaddafi, gives a ringing endorsement to Obama’s presidential bid.

“There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama.

All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency….

We are still hoping that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good, and that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other peoples, especially the Arabs.”

This endorsement preceded endorsements from Kim Jong-Il and Fidel Castro.
