I think part of the problem is the vote was rigged putting morsi in power which stoked the fire. Obama was all for the brudderhood taking control, it wouldn't have looked good for dear leaders guy to not win that election so he won. Now we have Obama washing his hands of it all and looking the other way. He hasn't mentioned Egypt at all. Nothing to see there. Egypt has been thrown under the bus. He sure loved it when he went and made his grand speech though.
I so agree with you, and do feel that the voting was so rigged are you kidding me, yes i do. Well morsi is in power, are things for the better.
Backing the damn brotherhood, was this wise. Easy for some to wash their hands of a situation, when the fire has started.
Don't get me started, obama looks the other way, an awful lot, unless the other side is in question. When it comes to finding the truth of a certain situation, a scandal lets say, he looks the othe way, how noble of him.

It is really a mess because a lot of Egyptians don't want that strict Muslim crap promoted by the Muslim brotherhood. At the same time a lot of Egyptians do want a more radically Muslim country. Many Muslim countries are facing that problem, torn between the past and the future.
Mubarak was no solution as such people only postpone that process, but they can't avoid it.
And who are we to tell the Egyptians they should not kill each other? Americans also killed each other during their civil war...
Very high government officials from different countries are speaking out on the situation in Egypt.
Out of sight is Obama, Biden, Kerry, Jay Carney. What the US got was the principal deputy press secretary Josh Earnest to make a statement. It wasn't that long ago that Kerry was leaning in favor of the military. Obama couldn't utter the word "coup". McCain called it a coup after he couldn't succeed to get the MB to sit down with the interim government.
When these guys are on vacation - they are on a "do not disturb" vacation. I guess when their vacation is over and they are back to work (brings to mind the thread about presidents "working" while on vacation) there will play catch up on the situation.
I wonder what would happen if thousands of people protested around the WH for 6 weeks and built a little "tent city". (If you saw pictures the main streets and residential streets looked like a bazaar), brought in port-a-potties, cooked food in the street, sleep in the street, allow residents to be inconvenienced and harassed, traffic to be re-routed, and businesses forced to shut down? Regardless of how peaceful how long would the Administration allow that to go on? Would he give the protesters fair warning to disperse before he brought in the reserves?
If this administration is so pro for peacefully protests, why didn't Obama stop the police from removing the OWS protesters? They were protesting peacefully.
Obama is knee deep in the creation of this situation by supporting the MB and, once again, when something goes t*ts up, he can't be found and distances himself from it as it he had nothing to do with it.
