President Joe Biden concluded his powerful speech this weekend in Poland about Vladimir Putin's barbaric attack on Ukraine with this line about the Russian leader: "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power." 

White House officials later sought to make it clear Biden was not calling for "regime change," but it was no gaffe. 

Biden is correct. Dean Obeidallah Putin -- whom Biden has rightfully called a "war criminal" -- should not remain in power given his horrific attack on Ukraine, his role in slaughtering civilians in Syria and his efforts to undermine Western democracies, including during the 2016 US presidential campaign.

President Biden is defending controversial remarks he made over the weekend in which he appeared to call for regime change in Russia — off-script comments that were quickly walked back by his administration. "I am not walking anything back," he told reporters.. "I was expressing the moral outrage that I feel, and I make no apologies for it."
