I don’t believe that the Muslim so-called revolts in North Africa, particularly in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt escaped our president’s attention and knowledge. Especially since America actively helped prepare the revolutions. I feel sorry for Ambassador Chris Stevens and the courageous three seals and guards, who risked their lives.

I wonder if we have to trust the leadership of Obama’s people, especially after I read that the renowned Mr. Mortimer Zuckerman, the influential Democrat editor-in-chief of U.S. News & World Report called the Obama campaign “dishonest, divisive” and “discouraging of enterprise.” Further he wrote, “It does the opposite of uniting the country to deal with the current economic crisis.”

Particularly when we saw on television how the entire Arab World is bashing America and no one could hold the destruction of the American Embassies in those three countries, we asked ourselves why local authorities have not closed off the streets that lead to the embassies.  It looks like the authorities purposely did not oppose the riots. Is this another distraction to change the focus of the upcoming US elections and help Obama?
