Its one thing to condemn an election (which may, or may not have been flawed), but its another to condemn massive violence. Obama condemned the second, and not the first, which is exactly as he should have.
Obama dragged his feet on condemning the violence....he didn't say anything until the polls showed that Americans didn't like his silence...
....the Big O was a day late and a dollar short...
Oh...and please cite the polls that say Americans didn't like his "silence".
