NBC's Reporter in Libya: Gaddafi Likely 'Feeling A Lot Better' After Obama's Speech
Topics: Political News and commentariesNewsBusters points out that while many here at home may have criticized President Obama's speech last night on Libya, abroad, there was at least one man who dug PBO's remarks: Muammar Gaddafi.
It was PBO's failure to call for regime change that would have buoyed Gaddafi, says Maceda. He reported that regime officials are acting much more "bellicose" and "defiant" in the wake of the president's speech.
As NewsBusters goes on to note, watch a surprisingly sunny Maceda report on the way President Obama's speech apparently backfired with respect to its main target was surprisingly sunny, and before discussing the speech, Maceda reported that the rebel troops have been turned back at Sirte. Militias loyal to Gaddafi have apparently forced them to retreat.
As for Obama's many claims in his speech last night, a surprisingly critical AP has actually done a good job of checking out how Obama's Libya claims fit the facts ... and found his claims come up way short of the truth.
Other interesting coverage of Obama's speech I found particularly interesting include:
