Charles Krauthammer Questions Obama’s Need To Make Ambiguous Public Statements On Egypt

(By Matt Schneider, Mediaite) - Earlier President Obama spoke on the transition of power in Egypt, and Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer happened to be on the air to provide immediate analysis. Apparently tired of seeing Obama on television, Krauthammer wondered what Obama’s speech actually accomplished and if nothing, then why even give it?

Although Krauthammer did praise the strategy of being ambiguous in public and specific in private, he still thought it was not advisable for Obama to be injecting himself into the story and questioned “why does he pop up on television right after the President of Egypt speaks? He did that on Friday and he does it again today.” Expressing general solidarity with people in the streets is fine, but Krauthammer feared “it looks as if it was our decision, our pressure, and I’m not sure that we want a direct connection between our President and Egypt.”
