Bolton: Obama Administration Has No Foreign Policy

The Obama Administration has no experience in Foreign Policy. The Obama foreign policy has been reactive than proactive. The chaos speading throughout the Middle East and North Africa is a prime example that our president is not ready to lead. The fact is that the chaos abroad is unamanageable. In addition, our president Obama has not quell the widespead union uproar in Wisconsin and many other states. Instead, Obama is having a huge gala at the White House celebrating Motown. This party started last Thursday and will conclude Sunday night with Gladis Night and the Pips. Obama thinks being president is an all fun partying and vacationing position.

Middle East Protest Reaches China

History has shown that the Chinese people yearn for a democracy. Under communist rule, the Chinese people are hungry, unemployed, suppressed, and practically living on the streets. The paranoia of the Chinese government is at its tipping point. Anything related toward a hint of a protest, the Chinese government will take no chances and quell the situation. Also, it is convenient for the Chinese government have full control of the Internet and monitor what information can be access by the Chinese people. It is really ironic how China is the second greatest world economy, but the people who reside there are dirt poor. Sooner or later a revolution will break loose in China. It is a matter of time.

(The Blaze) BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities cracked down on activists as a call circulated for people to gather in more than a dozen cities Sunday for a “Jasmine Revolution.”

The source of the call was not known, but authorities moved to halt its spread online. Searches for the word “jasmine” were blocked Saturday on China’s largest Twitter-like microblog, and the website where the request first appeared said it was hit by an attack.

Activists seemed not to know what to make of the call to protest, even as they passed it on. They said they were unaware of any known group being involved in the request for citizens to gather in 13 cities and shout “We want food, we want work, we want housing, we want fairness.”

China has limited reporting on the protests in the Middle East and quickly shuts down most protests at home.

Authorities appeared to be treating the protest call seriously. Families and friends reported the detention or harassment of several activists, and some said they had been warned not to participate Sunday.

Tensions were already high in recent days after a video secretly made under house arrest by one of China’s most well-known activist lawyers, Chen Guangcheng, was made public. Chen and his wife reportedly were beaten in response, and some of Chen’s supporters reported being detained or beaten by authorities after meeting to discuss his case.

The call for a “Jasmine Revolution” came as President Hu Jintao gave a speech to top leaders Saturday, asking them to “solve prominent problems which might harm the harmony and stability of the society.”

The ruling Communist Party is dogged by the threat of social unrest over rising food and housing prices and other issues.

In the latest price increase, the National Development and Reform Commission announced Saturday that gasoline and diesel prices would be raised by 350 yuan ($53) per ton.

Iranians Starting an Uprising and Many Wonder if Obama Will Help

In 2009, Iranians held massive protest after Ahmadinejad was re-elected as president. The Iranian people are saying that the hardliner was re-elected due to massive vote rigging in June 2009. At that time, Obama didn't do anything about it. Obama allowed Ahadinejad to imprison and punish the dissidents on the streets. Since Egyptian leader Mubarak was ousted from power, Obama gave full support and incited the Egyptian people to not back down. After the aftermath, there has been a domino effect throughout the Middle East with a revolution for democracy or "mob rule." In Iran, there are thousands of protester congregating in Tehran mimicking an Egyptian protest. Many are wondering if Obama will support the Iranian people as he did with the Egyptian people. Also, many Iranian are frightened that Obama will turn a blind eye and allow Ahmadinejad to commit a human right's atrocity by imprisoning and killing dissidents like the Iranian president did in 2009.

(Breitbart) Riot police on Monday fired tear gas and shot paintballs at protesters who turned what they said was a Tehran rally in support of Arab uprisings into an anti-government demonstration, witnesses said.

The clashes broke out at Tehran's prominent Azadi (Freedom) Square when crowds of opposition supporters began chanting "Death to Dictator!" -- a slogan used by protesters against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after the disputed 2009 presidential election.

Witnesses said police fired tear gas and also shot paintballs at protesters who had gathered despite a ban by authorities.

Websites and witnesses said thousands of opposition supporters had taken to the streets of the capital in support of Arab revolts despite a heavy police deployment.

While Iran has backed the Arab uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, the interior ministry in Tehran banned the Monday rally which Mousavi and fellow opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi had sought to hold.

Witnesses and websites said the opposition supporters had walked in scattered crowds silently to Azadi Square from several parts of the capital as policemen kept a sharp watch and tried dispersing them.

Riot police on motorbikes armed with shotguns, tear gas, batons, paintball guns and fire extinguishers were deployed in key squares in the capital to prevent the gatherings

Democracy protests bring down Egypt's Mubarak

Since no one has confirmed who will lead the new republic, the turmoil of Egypt isn't over. This vacuum created will open doors to radicalism. Whether the military will honor the voice of the Egyptian people remains to be seen.

(Yahoo) CAIRO – Fireworks burst over Tahrir Square and Egypt exploded with joy and tears of relief after pro-democracy protesters brought down President Hosni Mubarak with a momentous march on his palaces and state TV. Mubarak, who until the end seemed unable to grasp the depth of resentment over his three decades of authoritarian rule, finally resigned Friday and handed power to the military.

"The people ousted the regime," rang out chants from crowds of hundreds of thousands massed in Cairo's central Tahrir, or Liberation, Square and outside Mubarak's main palace several miles away in a northern district of the capital.

The crowds in Cairo, the Mediterranean city of Alexandria and other cities around the country erupted into a pandemonium of cheers and waving flags. They danced, hugged and raised their hands in prayer after Vice President Omar Suleiman made the announcement on national TV just after nightfall. Some fell to kiss the ground, and others chanted, "Goodbye, goodbye" and "put your heads up high, you're Egyptian."

The question now turned to what happens next after effectively a military coup, albeit one prompted by overwhelming popular pressure. Protesters on Friday had overtly pleaded for the army to oust Mubarak. The country is now ruled by the Armed Forces Supreme Council, the military's top body consisting of its highest ranking generals and headed by Defense Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi.

After Mubarak's resignation, a military spokesman appeared on state TV and promised the army would not act as a substitute for a government based on the "legitimacy of the people."

President Mubarak and Family Leave Cairo but Unknown if He Relinquish Power

Mubarak give powers to his 2nd in command and the military has taken over to quell the violence, riots, and protest. This scenario sound so familiar to many coup d'etat takeover. If the Egyptian people think they won, wait till they see what is in store for them.

(YAHOO) (Reuters) – Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his family have left Cairo for the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, proving he is giving up his presidential powers, a ruling party official said on Friday.

Protesters seeking Mubarak's overthrow moved overnight to the Ittihadiya presidential palace in the Cairo suburb of Heliopolis for the first time since demonstrations began on January 25.

"President Mubarak has begun carrying out the transfer of his authorities to his deputy Omar Suleiman by heading to Sharm el-Sheikh," Mohammed Abdillah, head of media with the National Democratic Party, told Reuters. "President Mubarak is intent on carrying out his vows to himself."

Sharm el-Sheikh is a popular tourist destination in the Sinai peninsula which Egypt got back from Israel after a peace treaty in 1979. Sharm el-Sheikh is a world away from the pollution, congestion and poverty of Cairo.

Al Arabiya television station reported that it had confirmed the arrival of the president, who said on Thursday he was handing powers to Vice President Suleiman, and his family in the tourist town.
