Obama has been such a complete failure in the middle east it makes me wonder if he was a very good community organizer. My guess is that he was a failure at that too.
The truth is that Obama never accomplished anything of note at any job he ever held.
Until he became President...
Socialist community organizing is basically about screwing things up and looking for scapegoats to blame for failure to capitalize on that. Then things about to stabilize, as a community organizer, one have to demonize people who took control and made improvement, to claim credit again and get all the benefits.
On the other hand it takes some skills to ride the wave like that.
Obama’s mode is simpler: to encourage someone else to screw things up, then do nothing and wait for the result. If the result is bad he needs to call some fall guys and if it is finally to improve - to claim credit for himself.
Of course, most of the above it just an outer visible side of the whole thing.
I like Al-Sisi - he seems to be genuine, and could be the answer we have been looking for to stabilize the mid-east and northern Africa. With Egypt spearheading a NATO-like force and put down the Iran led radicals.
I’ve liked him in particular since Christmas when he attended a Christmas worship service at the Christian Coptic cathedral, addressing the packed church and vowed he would protect the Christian Egyptians. That, in that part of the world, takes guts!!
