An Obama administration official, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, said the administration is open to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood being in the government of Egypt that will likely replace the rule of Hosni Mubarak:
The official said that while the administration was concerned about "some elements" of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and other non-secular groups participating in the demonstrations, it was "not ruling out their legitimacy" and place in a future government.
Obama was aware that the Muslim Brotherhood and others were in the audience when he spoke of "a new beginning" in a 2009 speech in Cairo that was directed at the Islamic world, the official said. He cited a passage in the speech in which Obama said that "no system of government can or should be imposed by one nation on any other" and that "America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them."
The Post buried this unsettling revelation in an article about the administration charting a "delicate course to oust Mubarak."
Voice of America reported that at today's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the administration had no contact with the Muslim Brotherhood:
Gibbs was also asked about the U.S. position on potential participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in any new governing structure, saying that the United States has had no contact with the group.
"We have as we have throughout the world, standards for that contact - that is adherence to the law, adherence to non-violence and a willingness to be part of a democratic process, but not use that democratic process to simply instill yourself into power," he said.
While the group professes to be non-violent, the Muslim Brotherhood is widely considered to be the father of international Islamic terrorism and is thought to be working to create a global Islamic caliphate.

Jimmy Carter with a Koran. Wonder how long before Obama hoofs it out there to bow before the new rulers of Egypt?
This is unbelievable. So is Al Qaida the legitimate government of Saudi Arabia?
The true colors of the MARXIST is rearing it’s ugly head.
But, but, but, Obozo's not a moslem, right???/s
Does anyone have doubts that this POS occupying the WH is working for Islam and against the U.S. and our allies?
So they will have influence in Egypt as they do in the White House.
Anyone surprised by this news? Raise your hands!
Anyone?
Anyone?
Oh brother.
What a disaster.
Nope. Carter was a fool, but not a moslem. Obozo is not a fool, but is a moslem, and he’s working the moslem playbook against the very country that elected him Pres__ent!
Folks, this is Jimmy Carter’s term in action.
We’ll want to see this or maybe not.
PresidentWTF at it again.
It won;t bother the leftists
We can’t judge other cultures you know.
Just Christians and jews apparently.
Correction, Jimmy Carter’s second term.
The next time a U.S. president is given the Nobel prize, he/she should be impeached immediately. The Nobel is a sure sign that you’re dealing with a moron.
Carter was just incompetent. Obama is downright EVIL.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

This shows Jimmy Carter giving Iran to the Islamic fanatics was not an aberration but the Democrat norm
What is Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, John Bolton and some of the other potential candidates for president this year (yes, 2011!) saying publicly about this?
Has anyone gone on TV in any depth and at any lenth and established some points in contradiction with the Obama strategy? Or are they just sitting this out? I would really like to know; this will gauge for me a lot on the issue of their grasp of US foreign policy, international affairs, intelligence, strategic planning and crisis management.
The top GOP Presidential contenders should also be put under performance perameters throughouth this esalating crisis. We need them live on TV and answer tough, detailed questions and establish a more clear public dialogue on this whole thing.
