I think I know where the GOP will take the spin of the 'Obama sides with the protestors' meme.
They refuse to walk back the idea that 'Obama loves Ambassador killers' so they're going to bring up the speeches and quotes from the beginning of the Arab Spring when the Obama administration said positive things about the people protesting Mubarak and Qaddafi. The GOP will sacrifice the good will of the Arab people who ousted dictators for democracy to try to win the election.
Obama must be reelected. It would be a major setback in human relations around the world if the bigoted societal concepts of the GOP and right wingers are allowed to take hold. It would take longer to recover from that than a the financial mega disaster George W Bush left us with.
