I am sure the over/under on this thread will be pretty slim but lets see if we can talk like adults.
I have heard people postulate that it is our presidents fault that the Egypt thingie is happening, that he has caused this or that by appearing weak. Also that it spiraled into the unrest in other places. I will be the first to admit that I'm all for pinnng anything on him we can, but isn't it a bit of a reach to try to pin things on him that have been happening since literally the beginning of recorded time? Seriously we should blame him for the solar flares also in my view LOL. I mean sure he could handle things differently, maybe take a different posture or what not, but seriously is it his FAULT? Ahhh just confused is all sorry. As I said lets blame him for whatever we can. As I understand it he had a hand in that whole killing Lincoln thing. (In my view it makes as much sense.) I just guess politics is getting too "politicy" for me.

Heh. Obama can't win. If he does anything about Egypt, he's doing too much. If he does less, he's not doing enough.
I think he played it smart by staying short of outright asking Mubarak to step down. That way, if Mubarak didn't step down, he wouldn't appear weak, but he also wouldn't appear to be the bully by forcing a foreign dictator to resign. That said, I'm also guessing there was quite a bit of maneuvering by our government that we didn't hear about.

I've not heard anyone blame Obama but then again I tend not to watch the news networks most point their boney fingers at. I don't think they really gave much thought to what Obama thought or what he says.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

No I don't think its anything to do with him. I think its all to do with the price of food really.

Egypt and Libya are not as of yet parts of our country and the folks that live there can decide on their own what they'd like for a government. Perhaps their armies want to get paid directly by our foreign aid payments? I wish them the best.

What BLAME would the President earn even if he had gotten this particular ball rolling?
One less dictator in the world is usually a good thing, isn't it? |

I have a feeling , being a Mystic and all...that all these world events are meant to happen in the way they are happening.
One thing I can't stand is people blaming people for it...like Obama...who does he blame is what I'd like to know. |

Some dictators seem to be doing okay and flying beneath the radar. You may be surprised by some countries that are dictatorships.

To the extent that not all killing is wrong, I agree that "murder" would be a better word choice. The part after "And you say" doesn't sound at all like anything I said, but if it helps you make your point, feel free to ascribe various positions to me. I think what I said was, I'm glad that they agree. By agree, I meant the first definition in both Random House and Harper Collins, roughly "to have the same opinion or view." But I bet you really know they didn't consult with me, you sly dog! Memo to self: Tell JT that Chance has hacked his account. If my previous post was at all unclear, Jon, it was in response to your suggestion that there was a particular "sort" who "expect their own personal beliefs will seen (sic) sensible and best practice for others." My post was to suggest that for all intents and purposes, there is no such "sort." We ALL expect that.
