Obama and the Middle East


Guardian: Reports the following on the day of President Obama's speech to the UN, the article notes the following on the relationship between the US and the Middle East, " ..that relationship is now at its lowest point since the start of the Arab spring.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The Middle East Street can smell weakness, and President Obama is weak, he is Carter Mark 2, the hand out to Tehran has failed, the lack of US leadership during the Arab Spring has shown how weak POTUS is, the Obama White House stated it was leading from behind in Libya, the PR of that was a disaster, the front guys in that operation was the UK and France.  The lack of support for the Egyptian leadership lead to the fall of a ally in the Middle East and the raise of the Muslim Brotherhood.  The assassination of the US Ambassador in Libya and the lack of clear direction from the Oval after the event has given a clear message to the enemies of the US in the Middle East that they can roll the Obama Oval.   There is an old saying, its better to be feared that loved, at the moment the US is held in contempt by the Middle East, and the fault belongs to President Obama.
