Did he offer money to hundreds of thousands of people in several countries in exchange for them protesting and getting shot down in the streets by regimes they actually liked?
Did he try to arrange for the overthrow of US allies in Bahrain (home of the 5th Fleet) before changing his mind by backing the Saudi intervention?
Makes no sense.
Unless you understood that Obama if fulfilling an Islamic prophecy in engendering what Islamists understand as a ‘John-The -Baptist’ forerunner to the Mahdi or 12th Imam.
Only the Shiite Muslims believe that whole 12th Imam story and Obama hasn't backed Shiites in the Arab Spring. He allowed them to be crushed in Bahrain and he's currently working with Al Qaeda to defeat them in Syria.
In other words, your theory would better apply to George W. Bush who ousted a Sunni regime in Iraq and allowed the Shiites to take power and link up with Iran.
Was Bush trying to arrange for the return of the 12th Imam? Or could it be that he was intervening in a region he didn't understand, just like every other US President?
Cairo Speech - then William Ayers and other Marxist 'Organizers" went to Egypt to 'organize'.
You also need to stop thinking like a stupid American and start thinking like a Jihadist. They embrace death. Any 'go' signal is the cassus belli to act. Obama signaling to the Muslim Brotherhood that he would support their ouster of Mubarak (same with Ghadaffi and Assad BTW) is all it took.
As to Islamic prophecy - the Shia have their 12th Imam and the Sunni have their Mahdi. BOTH envision an Islamic global caliphate. They simply differ on which 'denomination' gets to run it once they destroy the Great and Little Satan.
