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."

Without naming Mubarak, Obama issued a written statement that criticized the leader...and without naming Obama, Mubarak said in his speech that he wasn't going to be influenced by pressure from those outside his country.....

Now *that* was the comment of the day!

Plus, the Imam Obama (may pig’s excrement be upon him) is one, big hypocrite. V.P. Joe Bite-me was right about Obongo failing a major foreign policy test...

THAT’S A KEEPER! NEEDS A BIG PING!

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, ....”

Because it is pre-scripted kabuki, conforming to the pre-established pro-Califate BBC/CNN/ABC/NYT/CBS/NBC narrative. They are as sneaky and lying as C.A.I.R. in this regard.

He found someone who won’t eat his crap for breakfast and doesn’t know how to handle it.

He had an easier time of it illegally taking over GM and Chrysler.

Norm, I think Obama has just had his Bay of Pigs.

I'm no fan of Jack's, and I remember where I was when he got shot, but Obama is certainly no Jack Kennedy! So, how can he have a Bay of Pigs??

[Iron Munro]

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

Supposedly she was assigned to to mentor him when he went to work at the Sidley Austin law firm where she worked. She is also the person who, supposedly, introduced him to Valerie Jarrett who is now his closest advisor.

He was probably ordered to marry Michelle to provide some solid history and make it look like he really belonged here as a citizen.

His life story reads like the kind of made up legend the KGB once put together for moles they placed in western countries to spy for the USSR. Except they would provide their spies with birth certificats, passpots, college diplomas and other documentation that regular people.

For a country O and his cohorts deliberately destabilized he ought to be damned well counting his lucky stars that blood is not running in the streets.

Yeah, but a proficient moron.

"President Mubarak's announcement that he will remain in power is deeply unfortunate and troubling," said Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona. "The voices of the Egyptian people are growing louder and more unified, and they are not demanding partial transfers of power or minor adjustments to the current government. They are calling for President Mubarak to step down."

Coming to a theater near you, Juan.

Soros is mad, it is not going as planned. He will have to up the rhetoric, propaganda and funding of his paid community agitators in Egypt.

Do you really think the Three Stooges (Panetta, Clapper and Dear Reader) yesterday we’re just incompetent? Really? Because I see it at as a planned, scripted, malevolent ratcheting up of the NWO...Barry Soetaro is “impatient.”.

Yeah, I bet he is. Mubarak has KEPT the Suez Canal OPEN.
