Mohammed Morsi, in office only a year as the first democratically elected leader of Egypt, was rousted from power by the military Wednesday as a euphoric crowd in Tahrir Square cheered his exit.

The commanding general of the armed forces, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, said on Egyptian television that the military was suspending the constitution, which Morsi pushed through and which many Egyptians saw as slanted toward Islamists.

He said the head of the constitutional court would be the acting president, with new elections to be held later. The general said that the military did not have designs on controlling the country’s politics but would “never turn a blind eye to the aspirations of the Egyptian people.”

The whereabouts of the president himself [Morsi], an Islamist backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, were unknown.

So much for the Arab Spring that Obama, Hillary, Rino’s and the liberal
media supported with great fanfare.

Meanwhile, President You Didn't Build That cries real tears.

Ah, now the birds are chirping and the maudlin music begins (just like when Morsi was elected).

It can and it will! That's why Obama has the IRS targeting the Tea Parties.

We can be sure that Obama is having a miserable evening. Unless Reggie arrived with coke and poppers.

Don’t be so sure.

Have you noticed how easy it was for one Jihad traitor to murder 13 of his fellow Soldiers at Ft. Hood?
They were all disarmed. Not even the Officers are allowed to carry sidearms on base any more.
They are like unarmed sitting ducks penned up in a cage, just waiting for the slaughter.
A good part of our military is on the other side of the world fighting perpetual, unwinnable wars and killing themselves at the rate of about 23 a day.

Command level Officers who Obama does not trust due to their patriotism or Christian beliefs seem to have been pushed aside and weeded out for the most part, and the rank and file are kept penned up and disarmed.

Obama hasn’t murdered a third of his military like Joe Stalin did to coup-proof himself... yet..., but rest assured that he knows his Uncle Joe pretty well - and has better technology at his disposal now.

I’m not so sure that it really is “our” military any more.
Even if it is, they won’t dare make a move against their dictator in chief in order to restore our Constitutional Republic. At least I’d really be surprised if they do.

Delighted, but surprised.

Even more surprised if he doesn’t have his well placed Jihad operatives decimate them if they try anything.
