WASHINGTON – Bristling with impatience, President Barack Obama on Thursday openly and sharply questioned whether Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's pledge to shift power to his vice president is an "immediate, meaningful or sufficient" sign of reform for a country in upheaval.

Without naming Mubarak, Obama issued a written statement that criticized the leader for not offering clarity to his people or a concrete path to democracy. He called on Egyptian government leaders to do so, declaring: "They have not yet seized that opportunity."

I sharply question WTF Obama’s doing sticking his nose into Egyptian affairs when he needs to get to work putting America to work.

WW III would serve as a pretty effective distraction.

He was rebuked all right, then the Foreign minister said this:

Egypt Uprising - Foreign Minister Abu Al-Gheit Slams U.S. Administration for Interfering in Egypt’s Affairs:

“The question is not whether or not the latest American position pleases me. Ultimately, they have realized the need to conduct these major transformations gradually and on the basis of a roadmap with clear goals, guarantees, and phases. They were using the word ‘now.’ They said: You must do it now! But they changed their position...

When someone says to me ‘now,’ ‘immediately,’ and whatever, I say to him: ‘Boy, go play somewhere else.’ We will do everything according to the interests of our people and country.”

“.... It got to the point that whoever wants to gain points in his own country, and to give a show back home that he is a progressive-leftist-democratic-whatever, ....”

(I posted this on another thread as well, just didn’t want you all to miss it).

Obongo’s speeches about the Egyptian situation have been sickening. What a vacuous little turd. I’m driving and I lunge for the radio to change the station

Why is it every woman who speaks to CNN and other western media are pretty, not wearing any kind of veil, and speaking perfect English, but when they show the crowds, EVERY woman is fugly with a veil like they are in Gaza?

We’ve received many foreign blows. It got to the point that whoever wants to gain points in his own country, and to give a show back home that he is a progressive-leftist-democratic-whatever, makes such statements. These statements, positions, parliaments, the UN, the Security Council... We’ve seen the UN secretary-general putting on a show... People should be aware of this and tell everybody not to interfere in Egypt’s internal affairs, because this is up to the Egyptian people, and we will reform our own society.”

What gets me is these pols in the ME have been around a long time. They have survived repeated attempts on their lives. They know where all the skeletons lie. Not just for the U.S but for Euro as well. It must really gaul them to hear a incompetent boob like Zero telling them what they should do. Like he has a clue as to what it’s like to manage such a dangerous society.

dittos. Obama is like a stuck up spoiled little rich kid. He sure has a high opinion of himself. But if he’s so smart why did he marry The Wookie?

Barry is a classic case of Narcissism. He does not take criticism well. EVEN from a Saudi KING. (who he bowed to)

“Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.

When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may insist on having “the best” of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance.

But underneath all this behavior often lies a fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation. And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better.”

The comments at Yahoo give me great hope for 2012.
I pray the RNC doesn’t mess it up with another lousy candidate.

"But if he’s so smart why did he marry The Wookie?"

I imagine he probably lost a bar bet.

Or perhaps she did...

He’s got narcissistic personality disorder coming out his pores, his eyeballs, and his big jug ears. Did you hear the psychiatric association is removing NPD from its lists of disorders? In fact, I think they’ve already done so. My theory is that they’re so liberal, and it’s such a liberal pathology, they decided to ‘normalize’ it, the same way they ‘normalized’ homosexuality. Jackasses.

Foreigners who speak English to give speeches to their own people sound like they’re trying to con me.
