Yes, he said it just now on 60 Minutes:
Steve Kroft: "Have the events that took place in the Middle East, the recent events in the Middle East given you any pause about your support for the governments that have come to power following the Arab Spring?"
Obama: "Well, I'd said even at the time that this is going to be a rocky path. But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because--you know, in a lot of these places--the one organizing principle-- has been Islam. The one part of society that hasn't been controlled completely by the government."

ReplyDeleteSo our President believes that Middle Eastern Arab governments are going to control Islam?
Really? Did he just say that?
He refers to 'bumps in the road'. The road to where? Where does he see events leading? Where does he wish this part of the world to end up? Does he have a plan, a vision, a clue?
Why won't his interviewers ask the obvious questions?
