1. Obama doesn't seem to care...
Raoul ,   Israel   (07.04.13)
how the Egyptian populace feel living under Islamist rule.
2. OBAMA HAS NO CLUE WHAT TO DO
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (07.04.13)
about Egypt or ME. He is too full of himself with power now and thinks that giving power to his so called "Muslim friends" will ensure safety of America. In your face Hussein!!!
3. Condolenses Mr President
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (07.04.13)
America will never fight Islam ?! Cairo Speech Oh No Mr Obama ? Even if Islam threatened USA's survival as the Land of the Free ? ?} Now The Middle East muddle you have created is beginning to unravel. Morsi " Jews are Pigs and Monkeys " has been stopped in his tracks and his constitution , seeking absolute control , not unlike Lisbon Treaty , has rightly been torn up. Turkey went a similar way earlier. you have supported overthrow of Attaturk Democracy overrun by the Ikwan Turks can throw out Erdogan Obama :there is little that represents Democracy in your Anarchist acts
4. Muslim Brotherhood in White House
Jew ,   Israel   (07.04.13)
5. Obama depression
michel ,   Ashkelon   (07.04.13)
Obama must be really depressed now that his friends of the muslim brotherwood loose the power in a so shameful manner: millions asking for them to leave. Now surely he is going to reinforce Iran in getting the nukes to compensate.
6. Sorry president Hussein
(07.04.13)
7. NOW they review military aid?
Lila ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.04.13)
But when Egypt was ruled by radical Islamists it was ok to give them planes, tanks and other weapons to fight whom, exactly?
8. Obamas Imperialistic Democratic Idiocy !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.04.13)
Democracy does not solve the Problem, it is the Problem. Arn.Sweden.
9. What an idot!!!!!!!
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (07.04.13)
Even a child guessed this end for Egypt. Mubarak was a friend to America. He was also modern and was controlling this animal like behaviour of his population. There was law and order in Egypt. There was bread on table in Egypt. Obama supported wrong side. Stabbed in the back of his friend. He does not have a clue about middle east. He created a mess with the middle east which is already messed up enough. He did the same mistake with Libya also. The man is ready to support islamic Mursy and Erdogan but not democracy. He is ready to support alkida in Libya but not Kaddafi (which was much more better than alkida). Americans are fools to choose him in second term.
10. Same Obama that pushed for deposing Mubarak
Robin ,   Israel   (07.04.13)
Is this the same Obama that pushed for deposing Mubarak and killing Khaddafi? Now he plays the 'democrat'? Sad!
11. #6 President Hussein is very, very furious right now.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.04.13)
Psychopathic dictators don't like it when things don't go their way.
12. Now, Turkey: take out Erdodan.
Israel ,   Haifa   (07.04.13)
13. If you talkbackers are so smart, EXACTLY what can the US do
spyguy ,   seattle   (07.04.13)
The basic reality that none of the people posting so far can seem to understand is there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING the US can do about the situation in Egypt. The situation would be the same no matter who the president of the US is. Exactly what could the US have done to keep Mubarak in power? Force would have just got Americans killed and the result would have been the same or worse. Regardless who was the president, Americans could not have changed the election results and now the US has NO OPTIONS to effect, let alone "control," what happens in Egypt. You may not like the results, but you just have to live with them because you have ZERO ability to change them. You can rant all you want about Obama, but you have no viable alternatives. Your hatred for Obama is simply delusionally irrational.
14. Why is Mr. Obama so sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhoods?!
Adam Smith   (07.04.13)
15. the USA should Stop Interfering with the Middle East
Matt ,   NY   (07.04.13)
Time for the so called Democratic party of Not USA to back the fu*K OFF from Middle East! They just cause more problem let the people figure out their own destiny! The Not USA has no clue how middlle east runs... Obama favors all Islamist in the region, now that people has pushed down the piece of shit that Obama's cabinet elected He's furious! People of Egypt just cut the Hand of foreign powers and say no to the religion! Religion is holding the middle east centuries behind .... Israel is the only Democratic Country in the middle east but even Israel has some betrayers elected by the USA to do perform their duties ... The NUSA has enough crap to deal with.employment rose 17% nationwide & OBAMA cares for Muslim Brotherhood ...
16. Loser!
Mira ,   Vienna   (07.04.13)
Dind't you get it that the arty already handed back government to civilians within half an hour? Get lost!
17. What a mess O made of ME.He sure opened the Gates of Hell
Alan ,   SA   (07.04.13)
18. 13. Spyguy . Seattle
Raoul ,   Israel   (07.04.13)
This is not about hate for Obama, but criticism in that he is casting the wrong die for the future.
19. #13 what US can do?
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (07.04.13)
US should care for critical interests. Give full and absolute support for Israel with safe borders, including supporting full Israeli sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and Golan. Declare PLO/Fatah as illegitimate organization that represents no one, and that a solution for the "Palestinian refugee" problem must be found in the Arab countries of residence. Reestablish the South Lebanon security zone under American protection as a safe refuge for minorities, especially Christians. Defund NGOs, UN organizations and Red Cross that provide excess funding to the "palestinians".
20. Why Mubarak was betrayed and overthrown
Dror ,   Haifa Israel   (07.04.13)
Mubarak did not want to go along with what is called the "project for a new american century" Pentagon white papers and program. He was given the choice of going along with these plans or being betrayed and ousted. We know what he chose to do. Middle East instability is a deliberate and planned shadow government agenda. Look it up.. PROJECT FOR A NEW AMERICAN CENTURY. Wlofowitz. Wesley Clark. Cheney, etc....
21. Obama is upset that the Egyptian people ousted
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.04.13)
the US puppet, Morsi. He doesn't really want the Egypians to have any real democracy. He's a hypocrite.
22. Might be because it's named "The Muslim Brotherhood."
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (07.04.13)
obama has a great fondness for all things muslim.
23. @13 - USA / Obama CAN keep out of what he does not understan
jrebecca ,   modiin   (07.04.13)
You say what can the USA do? When there is Absolutely Nothing they can do. Then do nothing. Stay out of it. Stop making ANY statements, other than we are watching developments. Every time Obama opens his mouth and changes feet, its worse for the USA, worse for the country he's interfering with, and in many cases worse for us, his so-called allies. His understanding of world politics is not just pathetic, but dangerous to all involved. So what he should do is STAY OUT OF IT.
24. 19
Albert ,   Chicago, IL   (07.04.13)
And how would that be in US best interest? You have US interests mixed up with your own extremist agenda. And as usual, it's all about you.....
25. NOW President Hussein has the hutzpa to threaten Egypt's
tom ,   tel aviv   (07.04.13)
military with consequences/"reviews"? Why, because it ruins his plans for the MB?!
26. #18 & 19 more delusion
spyguy ,   seattle   (07.04.13)
#18 - EXACTLY what could Obama realistically do different? Your anger is unreasonable & directed at the wrong person. #19 - Everything you suggest would actually just get Americans killed and make the situation WORSE. No matter what the US says about the WB, the other 6+ billion people on earth have decided Israel is WRONG. The US has no ability to force anyone to take "Palestinian refugees," and will not take them in either. The US has no ability to tell Lebanon what to do and putting Americans on the ground will just get them killed. As for the NGOS, UN, etc. defunding will just mean the US has even less influence on the earth to the point of irrelevance. The US and Israel have reached the limits of their power and have no control over anything but themselves. All empires end.
27. #23 and then you will complain when Obama
spyguy ,   seattle   (07.04.13)
does and says nothing. BTW - Obama actually does understand a lot about world politics and has some of the best advisers money can buy. While some want to "do something," most actually do exactly want to just do nothing and let things run their course..
28. Spyguy
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (07.04.13)
I did answer but the lefty moderator cut it out. Mubarak begged Obama for 6 months to transition to democracy; Obama said no way. . You are defending a deluded politician ruling on a suspect win in a close election Ohio is a case in point. more votes cast than electors
29. Why is Obama in mourning, now that the Muslim Brotherhood is
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.04.13)
out of control in Egypt...??
30. 24
(07.04.13)
that is because the "you" that you refer to is ISRAEL, THE MOST STABLE, THE MOST DEMOCRATIC AND FREE COUNTRY IN THE MID EAST. and the best usa ally in that miserable region. this is why.
