| #4 I suppose he could rise to the occasion, but that doesn't mean he will. First, he'd have to be smart enough to recognize that there's something he could be doing to help the situation along, and then he'd have to be wise enough to prioritize that over other stuff, and then he's have to be responsible enough to choose a course of action in the best interests of the nation, rather than whatever he thinks will make him look good and/or service his ego. On second thought, maybe "could" is too string a word here. |

| #1 Given Obama's political history (Ayers, Wright/Farrakhan), it is reasonable to assume that Obama is on Gaddafi's side. He wants him to be Libya's ruler. He wants to keep him in power. He enough of a realist to know that he can't openly say so, by keeping silent he's supporting Gaddafi to the extent he can. Nothing would please me more, but who else would pump the oil that we need? God damn America. |
