What Meechelle caught your tongue while she was ripping into that rib meal? Obama’s strange silence on Libya.
With Gaddafi’s helicopter gunships strafing his own people, with corpses piling up on the streets of Tripoli, President Barack Obama has remained silent.
He did make a speech today, in Ohio, at a “Winning the Future Forum on Small Business”. Winning the future is the president’s new slogan. Boosting small business is essential to strengthening the American recovery.
But winning the future in the Middle East and north Africa matters too. This was a ready-made opportunity to make brief remarks that would have not just urged restraint on the Libyan dictator but urged him, if not to step aside, then recognise the forces for change in his country.
The world is watching. What, isn’t that what he wants? Mr. TeeVee President. The most overplayed, overexposed blah, blah, in your face community organizer, POTUS evah! As Libya burns, Obama Fiddles.

Sorry, McN, urging restraint upon his fellow Muslims is not part of obama’s script.

That 3 am phone line with voice mail must have rolled over until it set itself on fire.
