So what should he have done, while millions were on the Tahrir square asking for Mubarek to leave? Ask him to grab to power? And ask him how? Nicely? Forcefully? And how about when the military changed side? Still stand behind? Nicely? Forcefully?
Please, just put some facts on the table so there can be dialogue. Otherwise it is just a monologue people bashing on Obama for him possibly giving the wrong answer to a tough question, while they have no answers at all...
He should have kept his trap shut, and instead of pushing our ally Mubarak out which led to this mess, could have helped coordinate a steady transition to a stable, democratic, non Islamist govt.
Hussein Obama didn't seem to have a problem keeping his mouth shut during the Iranian uprisings in 2009 when HE SHOULD HAVE said something, as opposed turning his back on brave people of Iran, who were risking their lives protesting. But no, instead, he's always lending a helping hand to the Islamists that are either in power or are trying to take over.
