"UHH, DUUH,UHHH:" Obama Under Fire as 'Day of Rage' Dawns in Egypt



Newsmax reports: The turmoil in Middle East also is generating chaos in Washington, where foreign policy experts in and out of the Obama administration are trying determine how America should respond… Now, there are indications the administration’s effort to play global politics to its advantage by soft-pedaling Egypt's abuses could be backfiring. The Times story notes: “This balancing of private pressure with strong public support for Mr. Mubarak has become increasingly tenuous in recent days.” Increasingly, the administration is coming under criticism for first appearing to encourage pro-democracy movements that it now seems very reticent to embrace.
