One of his advisers described the President’s actions in Libya as “leading from behind.” They can call it what they want. I think anybody who thinks Obama is incompetent or doesn't know what he's doing, is going to be in for a big surprise. He has been successful at practically everything he's undertaken. He took over the auto industry, the banks, health care, and by association, the insurance industry. He's put so many regulations (through Sunstein) on the oil industry that prices are shooting up, drillers are going to other countries like Brazil. Cap and Trade, Climate Change, the greenies and energy footprints. Look at the czars, who answer to only Obama and control $1.3 trillion. (I highlighted a few that are doing real damage - they're all bad but these stand out.)

MSM deflecting blame for rising gas prices, protecting Obama, arguing the Saudi's are raising the price so they can pay off their restless subjects with more giveaways.

There are many American citizens who feel the exact same way...The Saudis aren't the only ones who feel betrayed. Every day, we look around and think....this just can't get worse....but every day, it does become worse. And worse. With no end in sight. Full-bore fear and fury is more like it. Saudi Arabia feels utterly betrayed; if a 30-year ally like Mubarak can get thrown under the bus, they know they can count on nothing themselves. I notice that Saudi Arabia has cut back on their oil production. $200 oil, here we come.
