Saad Ibrahim delivers a withering attack on the Obama administration in today’s Washington Post:

When a billboard appeared outside a small Minnesota town early this year showing a picture of George W. Bush and the words “Miss me yet?” the irony was not lost on many in the Arab world. Most Americans may not miss Bush, but a growing number of people in the Middle East do. Bush’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan remain unpopular in the region, but his ardent support for democracy was heartening to Arabs living under stalled autocracies. Reform activists in Lebanon, Egypt, Kuwait and elsewhere felt empowered to press for greater freedoms during the Bush years. Unfortunately, Bush’s strong support for democracy contrasts sharply with President Obama’s retreat on this critical issue.

Or perhaps the Egyptian political dissident — jailed and tortured by the Mubarak regime multiple times — is really just another scary, racist Tea Party loon.
