President Obama and Egypt: why he failed
The Constitution Club ^ | 02-11-11 | Delta Whiskey

Posted on 02/12/2011 5:36:59 PM PST by TheConservativeCitizen

The speculation regarding President Obama’s handling of the recent fall of Egypt’s long standing regime is an ever growing amalgam of bigotry, conspiracy theories, and apologetics. And that’s just from the Left!

Now that we have the obligatory dig at liberals out of the way, it’s time to look at why President Obama is an abject failure in his handling of the recent so-called revolution of Egypt. The comparisons to former President Jimmy Carter have been made ad nauseum, parallels between the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Tehran are clearly drawn, and the idea that President Obama is a Muslim or Muslim sympathizer has been thoroughly explored. What has not been sufficiently examined, however, is the fundamental, foundational factor of this administration’s failure. Why is it this foreign policy flub a failure, rather than a simple gaffe? It is important that this question is explored, even if it is not currently possible to offer a definitive answer. Remember, this is about why it is a failure, rather than how the President failed.

It is reasonable to assume that anyone engaged in discourse of this nature is familiar with the Constitution of the United States, so a lecture on the authority and responsibility granted to the Executive Branch is not necessary. Considering this authority and responsibility, examine the manner in which our sitting President addressed the issue of revolution in an allied nation. Through all the flowery words, clever rhetoric, and silver tongued double-speak, President Obama instructed a foreign head of state to abdicate his office. Disregard the fact that President Obama was very critical of what he claimed was the ill conceived interference of the Bush Administration. The issue is not the president’s hypocrisy. It is his complete and unquestionable disregard for the welfare of the nation he represents.

He didn't fail.

He did exactly what George Soros told him to do.

Yep, with the Egypt “success” behind him, Zer0 has started in again against Honduras.

No, he failed. He wanted to install an al-Queda friendly government to attack Israel and all he accomplished is the transfer of power from one secular strongman to another.

The short answer is, because he's either a Loser, or a Traitor.

Not so much as an excerpt from those crapbaskets at Gannett.

The liberals are already spinning this as a foreign policy success. People actually believe them-—they’ve turned the Egyptian disorder into the 1964 Civil Rights movement!

When Taliban-style beheadings in Egyptian stadiums become a daily occurrence, we’ll all know who to thank.

The hope for a constitutional resolution to the debacle of the O presidency is fading, rapidly.
