On Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sounded a little tougher, telling Mubarak not to use violence against his  country&#8217;s protestors and to restore Internet communications that he had  cut off. But, alas, &#8220;democracy&#8221; did not pass her lips. (The closest she  came: &#8220;As President Obama said yesterday, reform is absolutely critical  to the well-being of Egypt.&#8221;) Throughout the day, State Department  spokesman P.J. Crowley tweeted missives, such as, &#8220;We hope they choose a  path of dialogue and reform.&#8221;By late in the day, it was safe to say no one quite understood what  the Obama administration&#8217;s position was. So the president sallied forth  with yet another statement.  He assured us that he was monitoring the situation and called &#8220;upon the  Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful  protesters.&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I would add one more suggestion: find a new foreign policy team; Obama&#8217;s current one is egregiously inept.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/voices.washingtonpost.com\/right-turn\/2011\/01\/on_egypt_obama_offers_too_litt.html\"> http:\/\/voices.washingtonpost.com\/right-turn\/2011\/01\/on_egypt_obama_offers_too_litt.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While many in Israel seem to act like President Obama is now betraying Hosni Mubarak, other sources suggest that that Barack Obama was dissatisfied with what was going on in Egypt for a long time and wanted the type of change that many in Egypt now seem to be publicly asking for.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, what it appears (to me at least) is that the USA President suspects that he will do best politically by publicly switching to the side\/objectives of the protesters.\u00a0 And while this is likely to be more consistent with Barack Obama&#8217;s internal views, it certainly does send a message to world leaders that even if they take very tough and unpopular steps in their own countries which agree with USA interests that the USA will not support them if the going seems a little tough for the USA.<\/p>\n<p>And more people are wondering about that.\u00a0 This strongly suggests that the USA is losing more of whatever &#8220;moral authority&#8221; it has had diplomatically and that it will face unprecedented crises in the future when its allies decide to distance themselves from it.<\/p>\n<p>Without national repentance, the days of the USA are numbered, irrespective of what happens with Hosni Mubarak.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/triumph.htm\"><\/a><a href=\"\/barack-obama-prophecy-antichrist.htm\">Prophecies of Barack Obama?<\/a> This article has eight reasons why Barack Obama is apocalyptic and      eight reasons why Barack Obama is not the Antichrist.
