VINEYARD HAVEN, MA -- President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama enjoyed a night out during their vacation in Martha's Vineyard.

On Sunday, the first couple dined at Nancy's Restaurant, as fellow diners looked on.

Reporters asked the president about Libyan rebels advancing into the capital of Tripoli Sunday. Obama said, "We're going to wait until we have full confirmation of what has happened. I'll make a statement when we do."

The White House later released a statement from President Obama calling on Libyan Leader Moammar Gadhafi's to step down.

If he steps down. He will be unemployed. I wonder if BHO has a job for Gadhafi?
