Mideast: In demonstrations against Hosni Mubarak in 2011, President Obama insisted our imperfect ally had to go. Now that Egyptians want his disastrous Islamist replacement removed, the U.S. stands by its man.
On his first anniversary, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi faces massive protests, a 22-million-signature petition to step down and an ultimatum from the military. Instead of taking the side of the people, our president has threatened to withdraw U.S. aid if Morsi is ousted, urging him to save his skin by calling early elections.
True to form for an operative of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi in just a year has flexed his muscle to use a skewed referendum, with just 30% turnout, to shove down the throats of the people a new constitution, drafted by Islamists and falling short on human rights.
The country's lower and middle class rightly blame him for devastating Egypt's tourism-driven economy; big-spending Westerners want to go to the dangerous and unstable post-Arab Spring Egypt about as much as they want to vacation in Islamofascist Iran.
Another "surprise": Tahrir Square demonstrators, on hearing the Egyptian military's ultimatum to Morsi on Tuesday, cheered. They did the same when army choppers passed over the crowds later in the day, the throngs even setting off fireworks in celebration.

Hmmmmmm.....I wonder if money is involved in Obama’s decisions?
0bama, continuing to lead from his creepy, ass-cracker behind.
Sounds like Egyptians are preparing to celebrate Independence Day this week too.
YES!!!! Maybe the truth about Benghazi will come out with the Muslim Brotherhood forced out of power.
Wouldn’t surprise me, for sure his motive is not the good of our country.
Doing it on the 4th would be icing on the cake.
Obama completely bungled the Mubarak ouster. And, it should be noted, presidential candidate Hillary Rodham was his Secretary of State who helped him bungle the 3:00 am call.
What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?
The average American even of better than average intelligence has no idea about foreign affairs. The Lo Fo Mo Fo’s won’t have a clue unless the Egyptians invade New York. Even then, you’d have to show half of them where New York is, point out that it’s in America, and then explain to them why it matters.
“If there is, it seems to be that the U.S. will upend any and every strategically significant Muslim country — Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan — naively oblivious to the consequences.”
They are naïve, but not oblivious to what they’re doing. If Obama’s intention was to harm the US, what would he have done differently?
Well, Hill, there's a lot of difference between the largest, most influential Arab state being a salafist terror regime versus a secular, sorta democratic state. :-))
You’re right, and I’m sure most all of those have never even heard of the Pyramids in Egypt, it’ll take years (more like never) to fix ignorance.
Hey, in Zero’s defense, it wasn’t because of malfeasance, he’s just incompetent. Thanks jazusamo.
At least the mobs in Tahrir Square are willing to do something about their muslim tyrant.
“Obama completely bungled the Mubarak ouster. And, it should be noted, presidential candidate Hillary Rodham was his Secretary of State who helped him bungle the 3:00 am call.”
Don’t overlook the fact that Huma Abedin, Egyptian-born daughter of Muslim Brotherhood big shots, was Hillary Rodham’s closest confidente at the State Department, advising her on what’s “best” for Middle East policy. Hillary is a sure and present danger to the U.S. Obama and Hillary’s acts and omissions make the case that they are working for the other side. Obama’s White House itself, literally, has a cadres of Muslim Brotherhood terrorist liaisons. How do Americans of all stripes not insist their elected officials make an end to this?
watch as Obama Frees the blind sheik with a pardon and sends him back to Egypt on Air Force Two to stop the riots. Its all about a Video don’t you know.
Good point. We should be marching on DC about OUR Muslim TYRANT!
