Well, maybe if Bush hadn’t gone around the whole Middle East yellin’ about democracy so loud…

//Oh, for goodness sakes.

Blame Obama at all costs. Even if it doesn’t make much sense. So while they’re trying to compare Obama and the “fall” of Egypt to Jimmy Carter and Iran I find this at the Huffington Post:

“I think the administration, our administration, so far has handled this tense situation pretty well,” the Ohio Republican [John Boehner] told Fox News Sunday. “Clearly reforms need to occur in Egypt and frankly any place around the world where people are calling out for freedom or democracy, I think we have a responsibility to respond. And I think listening to the Egyptian people, working with the government to bring more democratic reforms is all in the right direction.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) offered much the same during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press.

“Well, I don’t have any criticism with President Obama or Secretary Clinton at this point,” he said. “They know full well that we can’t give the Egyptians advice about who their leadership is. That’s beyond the reach of the United States. And I think we ought to speak as one voice during this crisis.”
