Moammar Kadafi Praises Obama in Speech to United Nations General Assembly (VIDEO)
In his first-ever speech to the United Nations General Assembly, de-facto Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi (nee Muammar al-Gaddafi) praised Obama, saying the United States should make him president for life.
Except for his lavish praise for President Obama, Kadafi’s nearly 100 minute speech was mostly critical, incoherently covering a range of subjects from jet lag to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and ranting about “the mother of all evils” invasion of Iraq, and moving the U.N. outside the U.S.
“We Africans are happy, proud that a son of Africa governs the United States of America,” said Kadafi.
Kadafi, who’s relations with the U.S have generally been tense, said Obama, at least offered hope for the next eight years. After that, he said, “I’m afraid we may go back to square one. We are content and happy if Obama can stay forever as the president of the United States.”
Kadafi joins another leader with strained U.S. relations in singing Obama’s praises. Last month, Cuba’s Fidel Castro called Obama’s critics right-wing racists who hate the president because he’s black.

Where can I hear the complete Kadafi speech? I’d to make up my own mind about what he said, rather than relying on pundits.
Is it me or should Bert Reynolds play Moammar Kadafi in the next major movie?
