Millions of
Egyptians massed in Tahrir Square in Cairo to celebrate the ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi. Kori
Schake of Foreign
Policy noted The Insufferable Airhorn “achieved the impossible, getting all
factions angry with the U.S.”
Schake
continues, “U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration has
achieved the hat trick of alienating all factions in Egypt. It neither defended
nor pushed out Hosni Mubarak, thereby earning the embitterment of both the ‘deep
state’ that had been America’s ally for 30 years and liberals who agitated
against it; gave the military a pass during the 18 months of its ‘caretaking’
when policy choices and governance rules might have been established; waived
congressional concerns limiting U.S. foreign aid; gave the elected government
too little support to have influence; was largely silent during a crackdown on
nongovernmental groups; and now condescendingly suggests Egyptians would do
better to politically organize than protest.”
Protesters carrying signs that
were clearly anti-Obama,
anti-Clinton and anti-Ambassador Patterson indicted them all as shills of
Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Meanwhile, The Insufferable Airhorn was playing
golf for the 19th time this year. If you’re keeping score, that’s the 130th
golf outing of his administration.

Kerry, Hillary’s replacement at the State Department, was
cavorting in Nantucket Sound on his 76-foot yacht, the Isabel.
CBS
owned the story regarding “Lurch” being seen riding in a boat to get to
another boat just to be able to board the yacht. So it was little wonder that Sunday’s Face the Nation featured Reuters
journalist David Rohde saying that the young people of Egypt would not be
inspired by U.S leaders.
Rohde said, “The President has a
tough statement and then, you, I don’t know how this happened, but it was
terrible optics, the next day the President goes golfing and Secretary Kerry is
out on his yacht. What does that say to
young people in Egypt and across the Middle East?”
If anything, they’re getting a
taste of what we here in America have to deal with every day. Welcome
to our world kids.
