"Obama ignored by Mubarak -- again"
Jennifer Rubin is now the (token) conservative opinion writer at the Washington Post. Her perceptions are usually spot on. Here she discusses the Egypt situation and summarizes the implications for the Obama administration...
Jennifer Rubin summarized her recent Washington Post column with this:
"The major challenges that confront Obama -- job creation, Middle East unrest, fiscal discipline -- all appear to be above his pay grade. His words are of limited and diminishing utility. And the distinguishing characteristic of this administration is now confusion. As Iran did to Jimmy Carter, Egypt's crisis now threatens to subsume the rest of the agenda. And even worse (as the gulf oil spill did), it may come to symbolize a presidency that lacks the skill and insight needed to manage a crisis and shape events."
