Obama’s handlers and sycophants alike clearly understand that he has stepped on his own schlong big time with the whole Egypt mess.
By now, supporters in the media as well as other cheerleaders, even those people who were previously willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, can see undeniable signs that Obama and his hand-picked advisors are little more than clownish incompetents who are in way over their heads. (With special thanks to Clinton, Biden, Panetta and Clapper for their cameo roles in this debacle)
This story was planted with the NYT, in what will ultimately be seen as a futile effort, to rehabilitate the phony image of Obama as Commander in Chief - cool, calm, and in control. It will fool nobody.
And the whole Middle East debacle will probably be playing out during the 2012 campaign season, and by then be so ugly that not even the MSM can cover it up.
