re: #34 tradewind

Are you serious???
Yeah, really, that’s why the House of Saud called and said
’ You threaten to stop the aid and we’re steppin’ in with the cash, buddy’.
President Obama absolutely see-sawed back and forth before he finally understood that it wasn’t All About America, but he sure tried to shove Mubarak out early… until he didn’t.
Look at the record, and see how many different ’ positions’ he took.
You may love him to death, but he was all over the map on this one.

I do not love Obama to death. What is it with conservatives who see not bashing him unfairly as a statement of love?

This is not a two state system.

As far as him being all over the place, I think not. His position was always try to minimize violence and support a democratic shift as much as possible without aiding the MB. That is a tough tight walk in a difficult region that does not reduce to bite sized thinking - especially during an evolving and turbulent situation.

He did a good job - and honestly given the realities of what we can do, I doubt anyone could have done better so far.

How about we pray that this ends up someplace moderate - because contrary to American delusion, we are NOT in control of this situation, and NO President would be able to do much more given the current circumstances.
