Why would Obama support an Iranian-sponsored uprising in Bahrain?

The United States said Bahrain was on the "wrong track" in trying to crush Shi'ite protests in the Sunni-ruled island, rare criticism that highlighted concern the crackdown could ignite a wider regional conflict.

So, is Obama Sunni or Shi'ite?

He’s a lawyer-he’s probably trying to be both/s;)

So the Sunni masters brought in Shi’ite foreigners to do the work and now they are reaping their reward.

Obama has ‘solved’ the middle east problem. Just pretend it is not a problem.

Acxtually, this is also Ron Paul’s stance, and Pat Buchanon’s. We’ll soon see how this all works out as the middle east burns under Islamist rule.

Weirdly enough, it’s probably the right thing to do in public. In the background, the anti-American Arab masses are accusing the government of being a tool of the Great Satan. American criticism of Arab governments gets the whole rally around the government going. However, if Obama is giving the Arab governments hell behind closed doors, he’s an incompetent fool.

Is it not obvious Obama is a knee jerk leftist who is sympathetic to the overthrow of all friendly governmnts, while making excuses for enemy governments?
