Not to point out the obvious, but it sounds pretty silly to declare Obama's Middle East policy a total failure based on events that are less than a week old. Actually, that's not really fair, since pundits were declaring it a failure almost immediately. Clearly even isolated events aren't good, but this comes across as an incredibly clumsy attempt to paint Obama's foreign policy with a very broad brush for blatantly political reasons.

This falls under the "It's all Obama's fault! Everything!" song and dance routine.

Obviously, he conspired with rightwing fringewhacks to produce & promote an insulting video that would torpedo his own foreign policy, right?

And, of course, relations with the Muslim world were just peachy before he became president, too.

For which he's apologizing profusely w/o apologizing at all.

Is there something I've missed in this looney tune narrative?

The left set the tone with Bush, now it's time to blame EVERYTHING on obama.

Use the enemy's tactics against them. This is all obama's fault and I wish I could see him crying in his corner sobbing "why don't they love me? I'm a citizen of the world and one of their brothers! I've got a nobel peace prize dag gone it." Fuck this president. The fuck he is reaping is deserved as he hath sown it, on purpose. Fuck be upon him.

Well said, The left blamed bush for everything even after he left yet now they refuse to take responsibility, typical of liberals
