"President Obama is one of the least experienced men in terms of foreign policy to ever occupy the White House and yet he has advisers around him who are frankly, second, if not third-rate and you just can't do that. It's far too risky, it's far too dangerous of a world and some of us said this when he ran for election that it was a huge risk to put somebody of that kind of inexperience into the position like Commander-in-Chief of the United States. And what we saw unfold in Egypt reveals the truth of that segment," Professor Niall Ferguson of Newsweek told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

He was awesome. My only wish is when it came to hillary he should have said “how exactly does being a first lady qualify one for developing foreign policy”?
Professor Ferguson nails down about everything I have been thinking for the last two weeks. The video must be watched by everyone at the link.
Marking....
I know that The Mombasa Moonbeam blew this one, big time. You know that he FU. Plenty of people know it, here and in the rest of the word. He couldn't wait to praise the bread rioters as noble revolutionaries and throw an ally under the bus.
What we must face is the unpleasant reality that Kid Kenya came out of this smelling pretty good. He can spin the fact that Mubarak left as evidence of his influence. The fact that Mubarak's buddy took over, immediately suspended the Egyptian constitution and has restored order with not-so-veiled threats of violence matters not a whit. The MSM has its orders. Obama be the hero.
Now, The Soetoros' Boy is making it look as if the restoration of order and the fact that the MB is somewhat subdued is the result of his efforts.
It's as if I took credit for the sun coming up tomorrow. Notice now, not a peep in support for the rioters in other countries from Mr. Soros' Boy. Long as he reads what's put before him and follows the instructions on his magic Blackberry and on his two teleprompters, he'll be OK.
Holy cow, he totally ran the table on them.
WOW!! what a wonderful tongue lashing, and delivered in such a dignified english accent. Made a complete fool of that birdbrain Mika.
And what a change in Newsweek. I’m gonna have to get me a subscription if they got people like him doing cover stories!!!
Have to agree, this is am important video. It destroys the media on Egypt and Obama in general actually. All in all you have to admit that Barry’s unseemly incompetence did
NOT go unnoticed this time.
It’s not hard to come up with a coherent and logical foreign policy. Obama is just a total idiot as he would rather play stupid. And it’s amazing we see this segment on PMSNBC, the Obama channel.
It’s ironic, isn’t it, that this “cosmopolitan” (read: foreigner) BO hasn’t a clue about foreign policy.
Lord, protect us. His hammer found all the right nails. His fearless description of the breathtaking incompetence in the WH, the extreme turmoil and dangers it’s causing in the world and the US terrifyingly echoes what we all know.
“I’m not George W. Bush .. love me.”

I’ve never heard such a concise and absolutely deadly conviction of BHO.
Please keep praying.
I think I want to have his baby.

Ping! Must watch video.
He absolutely destroyed the talking head lite weights at MSNBC. They knew given this guys creds that they were going to get owned early in the discussion and that’s exactly what happened anytime they tried to. That’s why they actually let him talk in long lengths about all this and put their Obama pom-poms down for a few minutes.
That they are out of his league trying to argue U.S. foreign policy and history with him. He’ll make them look like short bus riders in a NYC minute.
Four shooting questions at him and he blew them all away. Niall Ferguson can think on his feet. BRAVO!
Me, too. Can I borrow your uterus?
