In this video interview Obama is asked about America's relationship with Egypt.  He says, "I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy,"

This is not how a true leader speaks.  The mushy language ("I don't [b]think[/b]"  "we don't [b]consider[/b] them") doesn't tell me if Egypt is actually an ally or not.  He is our president.  He and his state department need to tell us if Egypt is or is not our ally, not what he "thinks" or "considers" to be the case.  
The way he speaks just disgusts me.  He seems so passive and dispassionate about the whole thing.  He says a few facts as though he's broadcasting the weather, but he says nothing about what he plans to do regarding our relationship with Egypt.  Just sit back and see what the Egyptians do.  He can get all riled up during a political convention or at a fundraiser.  But he has been completely incompetent in his foreign policy.  No, he has not earned his Nobel Peace Prize, not even a little bit.

This isn't the first time he's under-reacted, just the biggest and most recent time. [/quote]
