The Obama administration said for the first time that it supports a role for groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Islamist organization, in a reformed Egyptian government.
The organization must reject violence and recognize democratic goals if the U.S. is to be comfortable with it taking part in the government, the White House said.

I, for one, am just totally shocked that the one would support muzzie extremists ... NOT.
Treason
Uh, no it’s quite believable. He promised from day one that he would side with muslims. Now we know just how far out there he truly is.
Would one consider this a WTF moment?

These events are Such a sad thing for that country, Israel and the US.
Only if W=What

Our president supports terrorism. He supports terrorist groups. This is absofrigginlutely insane. He should be removed from the Office of the Presidency. Time for change.
There, that ought to about do it.
Radical Muslims know they have a friend in the WH. We don’t know what he has said to them privately. We don’t know if they are blackmailing him. After all, no one in the US knows anything about his past. I’ll bet someone somewhere has the goods on him. We do know however, that he has strong associations with radicals.
Does this mean that Hayman Zawahiri will be the next president of Egypt? He has an Egyptian birth certificate.
How many times must 0bama declare himself to be an enemy of the United States before it becomes socially acceptable to believe it?
” Un-frickin-believable. “
All too believable, since our Administration tacitly approved Hezbollah - an OUTLAWED TERRORIST ORGANIZATION - taking over in Lebanon...
Yeah. Sure. No problem.
We're talking about a group that just overthrew a government and seized power, and has put its people on notice that war is coming.
But, sure. Whatever.
FUBO
I would hope that this is just posturing for the Egyptian consumption and that the CIA is busy making sure it doesn't happen.
Well I can hope.
At what point is this treason? Crimes against the state? Ruling against the will of the people? ANYTHING?
