Obama's emerging curate's egg

At last Barack Obama has broken his silence on Gaza. It is fair enough to be saying that the USA can only have one President at a time. But Obama has spoken on a host of other topics, giving a record number of press conferences, broadcasts etc. So why such reticence on such an important matter? It does not augur well.

On the positive side, Obama's national security picks, such as Leon Panetta as CIA chief, herald a clear break from the dodgy rendition, waterboarding, unwarranted wiretapping etc of the Bush administration.
