It’s a good thing we’ve got “smart diplomacy” in Egypt
But never mind that–I am still really, really confused! Mubarak was our friend, but a bad guy. So he had to go, and Obama denounced him and helped force him out. Morsi is our enemy, and also is a bad guy. So Obama thinks he’s A-OK, and helped Morsi take power. That’s called “smart diplomacy.” You probably wouldn’t understand.
Other things are confusing, too. Did Obama know that Morsi was about to claim dictatorial powers when he made Morsi the “hero” of the Israel-Gaza cease fire? If so, did he mind? If Obama didn’t know–which seems more likely–does he now think that Morsi double-crossed him by capitalizing on his faux diplomatic mission to proclaim himself a dictator? Or is that one more thing that is A-OK with Obama? If Obama doesn’t like the fact that Morsi has cut “Arab Spring” democracy off at the knees, does he intend to do anything about it? Or, when bad things happen, is it “smart diplomacy” to do nothing and pretend you don’t mind?

Me thinks bho is licking his chops wishing he could do the same thing here in the US that morsi did? Don’t need dc, don’t need the courts, do need the military to getter done for what you want! How many times has bho said he wished he/we could be like china, or not have to deal with our out of date dc, courts, and constitution? And with the way bho/team are going about it, we JUST might be like the counties bho wishes we were?

Mubarak was no different than Sadat, who was loved by every lefty in the world. Mubarak’s great strength was that he continued Sadat’s policies seamlessly. Funny how Sadat can be a nobel prize-winning saint to most of the Western world and then, all of a sudden, a guy who succeeded Sadat and carried on with the same policies becomes the worst person in the world to those same lefties.
But … this nation voted back in the anti-American. anti-Western idiot who helped make all this happen and promoted the pan-islamic tsunami sweeping the arab world – including getting our own people killed in Benghazi and then lying his Indonesian azz off about it and then lying about having lied about it.
This society is absolutely pathetic. More than half of these so-called Americans I share nothing with and want nothing to do with. It’s time for a divorce. I have no desire to live in the America Socialist Superstate and will not do so.

Benghazi Barack has expressed those desires – let’s see if he criticizes Morsi for taking that step.
If he doesn’t……

Obama achieved more of Osama Bin Laden’s global Islamic goals than Osama ever could.
