"Kadafi is another notch on Obama's lethal-force belt"

          Hello, this week i read a very interesting article found in the Los Angeles Times, it is called "Kadafi is another notch on Obama's lethal-force belt". This article is talking about how Obama has taken down two terrorist leaders during his presidency, Osama Bin Laden, and Moummar Kadaffi. Moummar Kadaffi was captured and killed by Libyan rebels, and it is a great victory for the entire anti-terrorist world. This was great news for president Obama because it has shown how he is taking control of the terrorism problem, and has taken down terrorist leaders, including Al Quada leaders and now Moummar Kadaffi. Although this is a great foreign achievement, it is said that this has had very little effect on Obama's popularity, because most American's interests are on the economy at this time. Reporters say this can only help Obama against Republican debates when they call him weak, but it won't help him get more votes.
          I found this article important to read because first, it saids how Moummar Kadaffi is now dead, and the Libyan people finally have there freedom and can work on fixing their country. Also it has strengthened US foreign policy, which is a great boost for president Obama, not so much as a popular one, but more of a self boost that he is doing his job. This article also shows how difficult it is to run for president, as Obama has taken down two important terrorist figures, but has barely affected his popularity. I really enjoyed reading this article and i am glad Kadaffi has finally been executed and the world, including Libya, can rest and help rebuild there country under a new government.
