Let the majority of the people decide – that is democracy
In a major speech to the State Department, Mr Obama said the Libyan opposition has organised a "legitimate and credible interim council".
"When Gaddafi inevitably leaves or is forced from power, decades of provocation will come to an end, and the transition to a democratic Libya can proceed."
Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said Mr Obama's comments were "delusional".
"He believes the lies that his own government and media spread around the world. It's not Obama who decides whether Muammar Gaddafi leaves Libya or not. It's the Libyan people."
