You can’t just blame Obama - Cameron and the UN all need to take their fair share of blame. They should have known, they did have info on this group, but even if they didn’t creating a vacuum in the ME and then hoping for a good outcome is dumb dumb dumb at best!
The man who broke the Middle East was an American president, and a Democrat, but his name wasn’t Barack Obama.
If they’re wrong in every single prediction they make, why is it they’re still considered “experts”?
I think we can blame Muhamad for most of the middle east’s problems.
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps
Holy crap.. This is POLITICO blaming the Clown?
Is this a one-off?
Is this to cover for Hitlery, and her hand—you know, “Let’s blame Obama and not Hildabeast....she is the future now,” kind of thing?
Is this a mere nod to a single conservative writer?
Surprising piece from Politico reflecting the fact that the Middle East was at piece when Obama was first elected.
But according to Obama and his lapdog press the current mess in the Middle East was started by republicans.
I’m astounded that Politico would actually permit an article that reports that Obama has been such a dismal failure regarding foreign policies.
It was obvious to most of the world that he would be a failure, when he did the “apology” tour of many countries shortly after becoming Prez and proclaiming an “Arab Spring” (which seems to have been code to terriorists that he would provide them aid).

Obama Friends Bill Ayers, Code Pink Top Activists Behind Gaza Flotilla
While Obama’s friends Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Code Pink’s Jodi Evans (an Obama Bundler) were in Egypt stirring up trouble and trying to cross into Gaza, John Kerry wrote a letter to Egypt urging the support of a “Humanitarian delegation from Massachusetts”.
The Egyptian Revolution began January 25, 2011

On June 24, 2012, Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi is declared presidential winner of Egypt’s election.
Mohamed Morsi’s wife is active in the Muslim Sisterhood as is Hillary’s girlfriend, Huma Abedin’s, mother.
Then the Benghazi, Libya attack on our Ambassador’s, sub-station involved running guns from Turkey to fight the Syrian government. A government that has always opposed radical Islam.
All of this is fomented by leftists and billed as non-violent overthrow.
Look at this OTPOR logo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor!
OTPOR is still in existence and teaches non-violent overthrows of governments, they were represented at Occupy Wall Street.
Since the Bolshevik Revolution, the clenched fist has been the left’s most visible symbol. In the ‘60s, it adorned posters and buttons and was adopted as a symbol of revolution by SDS, the black power movement, feminists and other Trotsky wannabes here and abroad. Now, it’s been resurrected by some in Occupy Wall Street. The symbolism couldn’t be more fitting. Fists are for smashing (institutions and traditions), bashing (heads) and pounding (square pegs into round holes).

These same people that support non-violent overthrows of oppressive governments also support Anonymous, Occupy Wall Street, Arab Spring, Day of Rage, and a mess of others I can’t remember right now.
They say it is about income inequality and almost all of them have been teaching in our schools, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Obama, Morsi taught at California State University Northridge, Noam Chomsky, Francis Fox Piven.
And it is working, outsourcing, open borders, green initiatives, laws created or ignored by government agencies (EPA, DOJ, FDA), executive orders. The middle class is dying while the low-skilled worker’s salary is increasing through union infrastructure projects.
So yeah, Obama definitely had a hand in all this unrest.
