Mr. President, do you think Muammar Gaddafi should step down?

White House spokesman Jay Carney called on Gaddafi’s regime to respect the universal rights of its citizens and allow peaceful protests to take place. "We offer our condolences to families of the victims in Libya of this appalling violence," Carney told reporters traveling with US President Barack Obama to Cleveland.

I’ll take that as a no.

C'mon, Dan. It's just another run-of-the-mill, bloodthirsty dictator. We can't expect President Obama to pillory Gaddafi when we all know what the real obstacle to peace in the Middle East is. I mean, it's Mubarak or Israel developing apartment buildings or something.
