Obama did push Mubarak out, just like Carter did the Shah. we just sided with democracy. Remember it was about democracy But Obama didn't side with democracy when Iranians were demonstrating ... he didn't say a single word on their behalf. It's not about democracy .. it's about anti-Americanism. Liberals don't like America so imagine that anyone who is allied with America, like Mubarak, is evil, but anyone who hates America is politically legitimate and reflects the people's will. Gaddafi's problem is that he'd been anti-American in the past, but had moved to open up to the west, gave up his WMD materials and equipment, and stopped supporting terrorists. I guarantee you if Gaddafi had still been training terrorists in his country, Obama would have left him alone. Gaddafi was about to slaughter 10,000's of thousand of people. I am proud we prevented that. Maybe he would have, but that is small time in the ME. After Gaddafi was overthrown Libyan rebels began ethnically cleansing blacks from Libya. Tawergha, Libya, a black city in Libya, population 30,000 - gone. Did the first black President care? No!
