Thank you. That's exactly the way i read it. The anti-Obama shriek on Libya to me has not given Obama any credit at all for his evident reluctance to take the lead. He seems to have considered the cost to America, where the responsibility should lie, and the wants of the majority of the American people. I don't believe he is pandering to an American political constituency, but more doing what he believes is right, and that just happens to be also what many Americans have been clamoring for forever. For forever. Less involvement overseas, yet he gains no credit for it.
I understand this anti thing as we know there seems to be a visceral need to be critical of Obama. The need to be critical is another virus. The NEED to breath criticism, venom and/or antagonism to me seems to be as necessary as food to many. It feels like so many people get up in the morning and instead of having porridge, orange juice or any other healthy sustenance they must have an anti Obama fix. This NEED seems to be visceral and is totally non-productive. It, in so many, seems almost if not purely subjective, with a virtually total absence of objectivity.
Your article enumerates very clearly why Obama should be given much credit for the way he has handled this very difficult situation.
That's my present outlook from far across a sea. The above will do as my breakfast for now. Time to take a car to a mechanic. :)
