The Dems have made a dangerous and ill conceived bid to deflect from their disastrous domestic policy by stirring up conflict in the Middle East.

The apology coming from the Cairo Egypt embassy, timed to coincide with Islamist 9-11 celebrations, was likely for the purpose of producing a pretext for violence. The extremist-Islamist responses, that any sane person would expect, are now underway. Lefties are pretending to be shocked that there would be violent backlash resulting from such incitement to violence. It is likely to be much more than they are prepared to handle. That Obama has been backing away from Israel (encouraging that country to DROP THE BIG ONE in desperation) is evidence of complete disarray in his administration.

During this time, Obama is AWOL at such important events as campaign stops, fundraisers and a Letterman appearance. His schedule is very busy, and he has no time for Binyamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, a country which strategically has often acted as a U.S. outpost in the Middle East.

It’s Jimmy Carter, pre-Reagan, all over again, only WORSE. Let’s hope that Mitt Romney steps up to the plate and takes this opportunity to present his foreign policy plans, and assure the world that a more competent leader is taking the helm of the U.S..
