Are GOP voters confused that their leaders are agreeing with Obama on Egypt?

[Enrique]

after all, they've been told over and over how radical Obama is, how dangerous he is, and here it is now a major crisis in a crucial area and they can't think of anything they would do different than he's doing...

"I think the administration, our administration, so far has handled this tense situation pretty well," Boehner told Fox News Sunday. "Clearly reforms need to occur in Egypt and frankly any place around the world were people are calling out for freedom or democracy, I think we have a responsibility to respond. And I think listening to the Egyptian people, working with the government to bring more democratic reforms is all in the right direction."

"Well, I don't have any criticism with President Obama or Secretary Clinton at this point," McConnell said. "They know full well that we can't give the Egyptians advice about who their leadership is. That's beyond the reach of the United States. And I think we ought to speak as one voice during this crisis."

There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. And elsewhere, the president has been urged to get a "little bit more out ahead" of the Egypt uprisings, as he was on Sunday morning by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), during an appearance on CNN. But even usually quick-to-pounce pundits have begrudgingly bit their tongues.

"This administration has been... a little slow in reacting to events and said a couple foolish things," said the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, on Fox News Sunday. "But they are moving."

2. Plus he's from Africa right

3. It's good that they're not trying to deliberately undermine the President

In a very volatile situation.

That actually shows a rather shocking level of maturity. As for the GOP voters, I imagine they spend a lot of time confused.

4. They are just waiting to see how it pans out, then

Limbaugh will give them their orders.

5. The party of "Whatever it is, I'm against it" isn't impressing the Teahadii...

so they're backing off a bit. They need something really juicy before they can go back into attack mode, and it looks like President Obama has no intention of giving them what they need.

Barring the worst case scenario - Theocratic rule in Egypt - they'll gain nothing from this revolution.
