Re: The Bystander-in-Chief - Mark Steyn - The Corner on National Review Online:
Kathryn, what's striking about the Bystander-in-Chief is that the more he does nothing, the more credit he gets for everything. In the New York Times, Helene Cooper attributes events in Iran to the Obama 'stealth effect.' The fellows in the street shouting 'Death to the dictator!' were apparently inspired to rise up by Obama's outreach to the, er, dictator:
He directed his comments not just to the Iranian people but to Iran’s leaders, and referred to Iran as “the Islamic Republic,” further flagging a willingness to deal with the clerical government. He even went so far as to quote from the vaunted Persian poet Saadi, dead for 700 years now."
