Gadhafi.

Gadhafi's speech to the UN was long, boring and a lot of rantings. He doesn't advocate for anything, but had a million complaints. I am still not sure why the press gave him attention...even Fox carried the whole speech.
I find it amusing that he will praise Obama, seek a investigation into Kennedy's murder and then complain about jet lag. Surprisingly the press seems infatuated with him...he's almost like a hated celebrity.....and not a tyrant that he is. Gadhafi's act is similar most third world leaders, they've been blaming the West for decades, they bank in billions while their citizen's starve. It is understandable that the American press is free to do whatever they want, but should the press be free to help people like that spread propaganda's? He even suggested that Swine flu is a doing of capitalist's..so that they can sell drugs and make profits.

  1. It was an interesting speech. As I watched it I became annoyed. He burned out a translator, threw books at people, shuffled papers, etc. He showed how disorganized he was and it probably reflects how he also runs his country. He spouted off about various conspiracies which detracted from some legitimate points he made. He is obviously worried about longtime economic concerns stemming from colonization and that does need to me addressed. Also, his credibility as an individual was shot before he even got on the stage. Because of that anything legitimate he might have to say will go unaddressed which is a shame for his people and the nations in the African Union.
