On Monday’s “Special Report” on Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer railed against President Barack Obama, who earlier in the day in Tanzania downplayed the United States’ role in the Egypt where massive protests are threatening the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled government run by Mohamed Morsi. The tack Obama is taking is 180 degrees from the position he took with its 2011 revolution, according to Krauthammer. “Obama is a bystander, again,” Krauthammer said. “Here are the Egyptians in the millions out on the street, trying to bring down an Islamic government, increasingly dictatorial, increasingly intolerant, arresting journalists and judges, trying to Islamicize the military and the people are saying no. And what does the president of the United States do? He takes a position of studied neutrality, says he is not supporting either side. And yet as you point out in the Mubarak revolution, he obviously strongly took the side of the people, he demanded that [Hosni] Mubarak had to go. He was not neutral.
