Obama and Egypt; The Success Story

[dellinger63]

Shortly after dropping his bags at the White House, President Obama was en route to Cairo Egypt for his inaugural foreign trip where he praised the cultures, architecture, inventions and music the Arab people have contributed to mankind.

A year later he assisted with the overthrow of the government, both monetarily and with encouragement, promising a free, democratic Egypt. At the time, The Muslim Brotherhood declared publicly they had no aspirations to hold office and with the exception of a female reporter being sexually assaulted by multiple perpetrators and Cooper Anderson slapped, everything looked rosy.

Skip ahead another year. The Muslim Brotherhood has reneged on its declaration, is in power politically and is seeking control over the military. Instead of a thank you, the newly freed, democratic, theocratic Mecca of the Arab Spring has taken 19 Americans as hostage and issued warnings to the U.S. not to interfere.

Perhaps because it’s a campaign year the media has remained agnostically mum on this one preferring to cover an accidental suicide 24/7. The two girls detained in North Korea received more coverage in a single day than these 19 have gotten in two weeks. More curious is the President’s limp, impotent effort at negotiation; threatening to cut off aid.

At best the President is naïve at worst complicit.

With Iran rattling their swords at us daily one must pause and ask is the new Egypt, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood more or less likely to side with Tehran than the old Egypt?

I wonder if the President’s incompetence for foreign policy bleeds over into his personal life and he doles out payoff money to his two daughters to keep schoolyard bullies at bay?

Yeah it's not like the President before him was COMPLETELY incompetent on foreign relations and the one before him and the one before him and so on and so forth.

Do you just automatically assume that past involvement ends once a new President takes office?

GTFO with this nonsense. Like Romney or Sanitorium will be any better with Muslims.
