David sent me this: ""What
makes Egypt’s uncertain course so vexing for the White House is that Mr. Obama,
more than any other foreign leader, has sided again and again with the Arab
street in Cairo, even when it meant going expressly against the wishes of
traditional allies, including the Egyptian military, the Persian Gulf states and Israel."
I
guess blocking the PA's statehood attempt at the UN, increasing foreign aid to
Israel, and not calling for Mubarak to step aside until it was a fait accompli
all mean Obama = the Arab street."
