Actually, given the Big Fail his 'policy' towards Egypt was,
angling to take 'credit' for Whatever the Outcome is a sound
Political Strategy for ANY president, given that the Patriots
in the Street of any given Country right now are focused on their immediate Problem, i.e., whoever is 'el presidente' this
week, they are not thinking about Next Week, when they have to get back to Work and deal with the rest of the World.
American Influence is not effective at this point; where it
becomes Important is once the country such as Egypt gets
a provisional government together, We should call and ask
"How can We Help your Nation get back together?" and
then engage with them (or not) looking out for OUR interests First....

lol nobel prize, for flatulent economic practices!

I see another Nobel Prize... But a Chemistry one, for alchemy.

If Obama can get a nobel prize for this, I should get the nobel prize in chemistry for watching Mythbusters.
