Obama 'deeply concerned' by Egyptian military's removal of Morsi

President Barack Obama is "deeply concerned" by the Egyptian Armed Forces' decision to remove President Mohamed Morsi from power Wednesday and hopes to see the military quickly return authority to a democratic government.

"The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people," Obama said in a statement released nearly four hours after the Egyptian military announced it had removed Morsi from his post. Obama spent part of the afternoon leading a meeting in the Situation Room with members of his national security team, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, who started her current job on Monday.

"Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsi and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters," he continued.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the military keeps control for the next 60+ years a la the 1950’s when it seized control and installed Nassar ...

" inclusive and transparent process."

Did I just slip into the Twilight Zone? Or is the rum taking over?

I think Obama, Kerry, Biden, Huma, and HIllary should all set foot in Tahir Square, without secret service protection, so that they can greet the masses in person and make sure that the will of the Egyptian people is served.

Amen to that.

I’d also like the dead of Benghazi to give them nightly nightmares of Navy SEALS wearing their skull masks paying them visits at 3:00 am. And may they wonder about that possibility every minute of the rest of their miserable lives.

Obozo should be happy that there aren't hundreds of thousands angry Egyptians living in America. They might remove him along with his Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood thugs.

Texas Republican Sen.Ted Cruz blasted the Obama administration’s policy toward Egypt in a scathing op-ed in Foreign Policy magazine, slamming the president’s stance on the Muslim Brotherhood “one of the most stunning diplomatic failures in recent memory.”

As the Egyptian military ends President Mohamed Morsi’s rule, Cruz points out that the ire of many people in the streets of Cairo is not reserved for the Muslim Brotherhood alone.

“The people protesting in the streets were not only carrying anti-Morsi signs,” Cruz writes. “They were also carrying signs with slogans like ‘Obama Supports Terrorism’ and ‘Obama Supports Morsi,’ as well as pictures of the American ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, with a large red ‘X’ through her face.”

“Obama’s probably scared the same thing can happen to him”

Not likely with the US press covering for him.
But he should be.
