MICHAEL GOODWIN: Egypt Protests Prove That It's Amateur Hour at the Obama White House

By Michael Goodwin

Published February 07, 2011

In her 2008 race against Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton famously used a ringing red telephone to question Obama's national-security chops. "It's 3 a.m.," a narrator warned over video of a sleeping child. "Who do you want to answer the phone?"

We now know neither Obama nor Clinton was ready for the call from Egypt. Whatever the clock says, it's still amateur hour in this White House.

From the moment the demonstrations started 12 days ago, the foreign-policy team stumbled. Secretary of State Clinton said Hosni Mubarak's regime was "stable," and Vice President Joe Biden said Mubarak wasn't a dictator and shouldn't resign.

As the ranks of marchers swelled, Obama's instincts took him in the opposite direction. He quickly tried to push Mubarak out, first behind the scenes, then more publicly.

He did come off pretty bad. At first, he urged Mubarak to toss some manna to the protesters. Now he's pushing him out.

They have no idea what they're doing, or even which direction to apply pressure in.

Right. All nObammy knows is Egypt will be "different". I guess by that he means controlled by radical muslims.
nObamma sure did change the world....

LET'S TRADE OBAMA TO MUBAREK FOR A BELLY DANCER... OR A FLEA-BIT CAMEL.... OR A BUCKET OF SAND... OR A CIGARETTE BUTT.

...MAYBE A CANCELED STAMP....

Is Mubarak allowed to keep the 70 Billion he 'earned' as Egypt's most recent Pharo? Will Obama let him stay in the Lincoln Bedroom once he is exiled? Will Michelle force him to stop eating brownies?

PUT MUBAREK & MICHELLE ON CURRENT TV....

THEY CAN REPLACE THE LATE JACK LA LANE.
