In the nearly two weeks since Egypts military seized power, President Obama has promoted a better federal bureaucracy, given a medal to George Lucas of Star Wars fame and had former President George Bush to the White House for lunch. What he has not done is publicly address the violent upheaval in Cairo.
That is not to say Mr. Obama is uninvolved. In the privacy of the West Wing, away from the cameras, he has made calls to leading figures in the Arab world and has met with advisers trying to influence the crisis.

“Hidden hand” sounds like homosexual-code for something gross.
Possibly a reach around.
Same as “leading from behind”.
I think it would be best for us all if we just didn’t go ‘there’. Some songs are best left unsung. Some unseen hands, best left unimagined.
You’re probably right. Although I fully expect this homo to come out before much longer.
Obama "Leads From Behind" and "Uses The Hidden Hand".
His close friends have other names for it.
