White House Downplays Obama’s ‘Encounter’ with Morsi

Mohamed Morsi Israel news photo: Flash 90The news that President Obama will meet with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in September prompted an array of speculations in Washington and Cairo, attempting to decipher the political significance of the upcoming encounter.

While Morsi’s party views the meeting as a chance to solidify his international standing, White House press secretary Jay Carney downplayed it as a mere “encounter” for Obama, The Hill reported.

“Well, the president will be going to UNGA, the United Nations General Assembly, in September, and he will, I’m sure, encounter a number of leaders — after all, that’s a gathering of world leaders — including the new Egyptian president there,” Carney said. “There are no planned bilateral meetings in Washington around UNGA with any leader.”

Carney said Obama “looks forward” to meeting Morsi when the U.N. General Assembly reconvenes in September, but emphasized that no one-on-one talks are scheduled to take place.

Carney’s remarks, however, contradict those of Egyptian aide Yasser Ali, who reportedly declared that Obama had “extended an invitation” for Morsi to visit the United States.

Must have received some bad political feedback on this after the initial information came out. Should see a lot more of this in the next four months, something you never saw out of him before election time rolled around.

Obama will tell him the same thing he told the Russians.

“This is my last election....I will have a lot more flexibility after the election.”

The Muslim Brotherhood will respond with the same comment the Russians did.

“We stand with you”.
