I shudder to think how a romney administration would have botched this.
President Obama is a leader's leader and he has put together a masterful team.
But that said ... the quote below is exactly what is wrong with American Think-tankary:
I would caution the president from believing that President Morsi has in any way distanced himself from his ideological roots,” said Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “But if the president takes away the lesson that we can affect Egypt’s behavior through the artful use of leverage, that’s a good lesson. You can shape his behavior. You can’t change his ideology.”
This guy may be an "expert" in foreign policy; but is allowing his ideology and national arrogance to color his judgment. He clearly sees Morsi as a "Lesser"leader who is "On the other side" and someone to be manipulated; rather than, a peer level Head of State to be collaborated with in order to accomplish mutual goals.
It's guys like that that start wars and prevent international collaboration.
