Indian Express ^ | 9/23/2012 | DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK & STEVEN ERLANGER

On the eve of his first trip to the US as Egypt’s new Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi said the US needed to fundamentally change its approach to the Arab world, showing greater respect for its values and helping build a Palestinian state, if it hoped to overcome decades of pent-up anger.

A former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Morsi sought in a 90-minute interview with The New York Times to introduce himself to the US public and to revise the terms of relations between his country and the US after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak.

He said it was up to Washington to repair relations with the Arab world and to revitalise the alliance with Egypt.

Mr. Obama can try to “accept” them and make us dhimmis, but my tagline explains why that won't work.

Hasn't BHO done that already? He's bowed and speechified for 4 years now. How much you wanna bet he bows to his brotherhood bro? Perhaps they could both make the Letterman show... just for laughs.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama heard that those were AmeriKKKa’s “chickens coming home to roost” at their church in Chicago.

Hey Morsi, wasn't it your countrymen who stormed our embassy? You need to come to us buddy, on your knees begging us not to cut off all aide and pull our embassy personnel out. Me, I'd turn my back on you and pull the aide and people. I'd have already done it.

Close the checkbook.
Mount a “Manhattan Project” to develop domestic crude supplies.
Tell the bastard to save the trip; we don’t need his ‘advice’.

Didn’t he also say we(USA) would have to change our values, not them change theirs?

I say we keep our values, and also keep our $1 billion in foreign aid. Maybe then he’ll come around.

I'm with you. Of course hussein will bow to Morsi, agree with everything he demands, and offer to give him a hummer for the trip home.

“A former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood”

The author has a dry, wry sense of humor.

Morsi would probably say that was just part of the "pent up anger" he referred to. And I'm sure Obama will understand.

Who’s Morsi that he thinks he can set terms for the American people?

Obama is a half-baked Muslim and a half-baked Marxist.

People need to be very careful as to what they about Morsi. Some day one of his children who was born in the USA might come back to the USA and run for POTUSA and remember what was said about dad -at least some people have argued all that’s needed to be eligible is to be born here.
