As the Middle East is ravaged by civil unrest, our president seems rather distant and unconcerned.
Our president supported Egypt’s Mubarak for weeks before offering rather tepid support for the insurgents. Likewise, he didn’t come out in support of the insurgents in Libya until the world media made an issue of his absence. In 2009, rebels in Iran staged the strongest protest to their terrorist supporting government in 20 years. Our president has yet to voice support for them.
Every president in modern times would have immediately voiced support for the rebels in their fight for democracy and freedom. Not our current president.
Likewise, all former presidents in the last 50 years would have immediately dispatched an aircraft carrier task force to the Mediterranean. Not our current president. Doesn’t Mr. Obama realize that not dispatching a carrier is putting Americans at serious risk in both Egypt and Libya? Doesn’t he realize that the Middle East could erupt into much more widespread bloodshed possibly involving other countries or even all out war?
Our president seems to be more concerned about not doing anything that might possibly irritate his Muslim friends than protecting American citizens.
