Niall Ferguson on Obama’s role in Egypt
I was remarkably silent on Egypt. The situation was too fluid for me to grab a hold of.

Now that it’s over, I was thinking of writing about the abysmal Obama performance (following, no clear ideological goal, confused and ever-changing messages), but I discovered that someone got there better and first. You can read Niall Ferguson’s Newsweek article, or just watch the video as a reporter desperately tries to defend Obama, and Ferguson rips her apart:
