President Barack Obama referred to recent events in the Middle East, including violent attacks on embassies and the terrorist murder of a US ambassador and three other Americans, as 'bumps in the road'

The comment came in Obama's CBS '60 Minutes' interview that aired on Sunday night.

Steve Kroft, the interviewer, asked: 'Have the events that took place in the Middle East, the recent events in the Middle East given you any pause about your support for the governments that have come to power following the Arab Spring?

Obama responded: 'Well, I’d said even at the time that this is going to be a rocky path. The question presumes that somehow we could have stopped this wave of change.




'I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal rights — a notion that people have to be able to participate in their own governance.

'But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam.'

    All of the above.

    Oh, yeah - a real 'bump'. An American ambassador is murdered on American soil, and that's a bump. Kind of like the murder of Brian Terry/fast & furious is a bump, and the Ft. Hood is a bump. Yeah, riiiight.

    They are bumps in the road. Obama is probably getting a little flak from his campaign about his preceived need to do The View and Letterman, etc. Can't let anything stop the move along the campaign trail - not even these minor bumps in the road.

    Shows the arrogance that I hate! Mr. Obama - human lives were killed and this is all you can say? Disgraceful.
