The new president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, is introduced by a Muslim Brotherhood cleric. (The video misidentifies the speaker as Morsi.)
(Editor's Note: The speaker was identified as Safwat Hijazi, friend and campaign manager for Mohamed Morsi. The video was filmed last month in Cairo, sources say this was his introduction.)

President Obama called Mohamed Morsi to congratulate him. No doubt, Obama has warmer feelings towards Marsi and the Brotherhood than to Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud.
In a way, Kerry's statement and Obama's obsequiousness are even more alarming than Mohamed Morsi's election as President of Egypt.
