re: #13 J.S.

I think Obama has spoken appropriately, given the circumstances. He can’t be seen as taking sides, for fear of being accused of meddling in a foreign country’s internal affairs, yet he still came out and expressed his dismay with respect to the violence going on against the peaceful demonstrators.

why can’t he take the side of freedom and liberty?….that’s not meddling, it should be a universal ideology that he never wavers from, no matter who or what
