The Egyptian justice minister returned a letter Tuesday from the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt asking him to re-examine the issue of Americans barred from leaving the country.
The snub is the latest in a spat between the allies over a politically charged Egyptian investigation into foreign funded groups.
Egyptian security forces raided 17 offices of 10 pro-democracy and human rights groups last month then barred at least 10 foreigners, including six Americans, from leaving the country.

Obama reduced the US to the laughingstock of the world, while making the world a really dangerous place, by allowing and encouraging radical Muslims to take over from moderate governments, friendly to the US.

He is still waiting on that toy UAV to arrive from Iran:
Obama: “Is it hear yet?......dangit!” (shoots nerf basket hanging on mantle below Washington’s portrait) “Hey! Two points! Panetta, take that! Make it, take it...who’s up for it!” (Hillary kicks off hills)

The State Department needs to declare a new Egyptian embassy official in DC, "persona non grata" each week till their ambassador is the last person left. Then start with the Egyptian UN clowns. (Wait, start with them first)

I’m sure the “Brotherhood” is getting a big kick out of this one. After they are finished gang raping the women in a public square, they will be prepared to endure the brutal administration reprisal of having their 1.3 billion dollar handout delayed by 7-10 days.

I find it hard to get anxious about this.
The children of American leftists/ Democrat elites go to Egypt to do a bit of Obama-style community organizing and agitation.
They are learning the hard way that the crap being fed to them by their own side about Muslims yearning for democracy and the joys of the “Arab Spring” aren’t exactly true.

Responding to the justice minister on Tuesday, Parliamentary speaker Saad el-Katatni of the Muslim Brotherhood said, We dont accept this interference from the American ambassador. So I guess the "onerous restrictions" now imposed by Egypt do not apply to aging 1960s spoiled brats like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They can come and go as they please?
Doesn't Egypt know that Ayers and Dohrn are the Obama Administration?

Nope, he’s easily an order or two magnitude worse. Jimmy only lost Iran.
