Obama and Al Qaeda

BBC News: Reports that Al Qaeda is critical of the Obama visit to Egypt. If Obama has Al Qaeda rattled that is good, the problem is that Obama is fine with rhetoric but the follow through is weak. As with North Korea the USA has been tough on the PR front but no action, this has given the impression that Obama is an empty suit. All wind and no push, thus expect fine words from Obama in Egypt but no follow through, Iran will see his weakness as a green light to go nuclear, this will force Israel to attack Iran, this will destroy any Obama Middle East Peace Plan. The difference between Obama and Reagan is simple, Reagan was a Great Communicator but he had a bold Agenda, Obama has the rhetoric but he has the old Liberal Agenda. Thus one can discuss the Reagan Revolution but after either one or two terms it will be hard to call Obama a Revolutionary President.
