Axelrod: President Obama Has “On Several Occasions Directly Confronted” Mubarak on Human Rights for the Past 2 Years “To Get Ahead of This”

President Obama Has “On Several Occasions Directly Confronted”
From Day One, with Laser-like focus…I’m sure.

He’s saying this like it’s a positive thing for Obama?
It sounds to me like he has dealt with it for 2 years and was a total failure.

I guess President Obama failed in his diplomatic efforts. That really impresses me Mr. Axelrod. Keep talking.

Axelrod lies and Obama swears to it; do you seriously believe anyone believes this BS that Obama has been 2 years ahead of this crisis in Egypt? If you do, I have this bridge I’d like to sell you!

No one believes this sorry spin doctor

Was this squeezed in somewhere during his 2-year day and night campaign to create jobs, jobs, jobs and to cut the deficit? This man is successful on so many fronts…

Yeah, Obama has been on Mubarak like white on rice. And unemployment is 2% and the checks in the mail. Jake, how do you keep a straight face through some hockey like that?

This is the Obama administration, who believes them, but if Obama
” confronted Mubarak”, which I doubt, he must have meant he bowed to him, and then it really did a lot of good. He sure has a lot of influence doesn’t he if he did.
Just words from the Obama admin. Spin again.

yeah, just like he has been confronting the Chinese on their human rights problems….talk to the teleprompter

lol

I’m sure any minute now he will put out a very strongly worded statement that will scare them all and resolve the problem. Then again, I’m sure he is working on vacation plans and where to play golf this weekend.

Ax makes it sound as if Obama has cornered Mubarak and said forcefully this better change. I find that highly unlikely. The man cannot even stand up to Iran in their brutal repression and hijacking of elections as well as their continued snubbing of the world on acquiring nuclear weapons. If Obama cannot even stand up to the violence displayed against people in Iran as well as the thuggish actions of that government, what makes us think he’d do anything here? Obama has no clue. He’s impotent OR he wants brutish repressive regimes like this to remain in power.

time to rent and watch Team America again…Matt Damon…..

Dear Fearless Leader, Perhaps if you are so adept at recognizing the growing discontent in Egypt, don’t you think you could take a look at the growing discontent here at home?

Obama lied & Egyptians died…

Anyone buying this slop from Axelrod?
Yeah, neither do I.

LIAR!

Thanks for reporting on this Jake….too bad the rest of the drive-by media is fixated on Rush Limbaugh’s sarcasm related to the Chinese leader…the middle East is crumbling before our eyes and all they can talk about is a talk show dude….who does have much larger cajungas than our leader, Mr. BO.

Was that at his Cairo speech?? What a fantasizer Omam is? Please let me see the quotes where he has adresses it.
Let’s see if he can earn his Peace Prize.

last comment, I promise! the fact that our (US) administration first addressed this situation via twitter reveals its complete incompetence at best and its disdain for the Egyptian people at worse since Egypt’s leader has killed internet access there….beware of BO’s internet kill switch! this clearly show’s why he should NEVER have that ability.

Axlerod says one thing. Baghdad Bob Gibbs says just the opposite. From Yahoo news.
With enormous U.S. interests in the Middle East at stake — from Israel’s security to the Suez Canal and the safety of thousands of Americans who live and work in Egypt — administration officials led by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered stern warnings to Egyptian leaders to use restraint in dealing with demonstrators and to embrace broad reforms.
President Barack Obama was being continually briefed on the situation but had not tried to contact Mubarak, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

Axelrod is lying. Wikileaks released cables today showing that the Obama administration REDUCED the pressure on Egypt to form a less tense relationship that developed over the years. Obama did not push Mubarak harder, he made it easier for his rule.

Good try Axelrod, but the truth was already uncovered in WikiLeaks. Obama did nothing more than cut a check and make suppositions

Obama Press conference: Obama tells Egyptian gov. to turn internet back on because we live in the 21st century.
YET
He has order an “OFF BUTTON” for the internet himself.
Obama – Big Mistake

If our illustrious president is so smart about trouble coming in the Middle East why didn’t he do more to develop our domestic natural resources?
The uprisings now going on are bound to affect the price of energy.
Ah, but we must have those nice fat campaign contributions from the environmentalist wackos.

We need a leader like Ronald Reagan….what do we get ? Chicken Little.

Did Mr. Axelrod really just throw President Mubarak under the bus? I guess all other foreign leaders better do as President Obama says, or the minute they have some unrest they can expect the same amount of loyalty.

Axelrod is a liar. Obama is the Muslim Brotherhood’s ally in this. We have a deliberately weak United States under obama and the forces of evil and Islam are taking advantage of this. The Muslim Brotherhood has been engineering these moves for decades and believe now is the time to strike. The beachhead was Iran under Carter and now the breakout.

These White House finger pointers need to think past their knee jerk proclivities and realize the consequences of their behavior. No world leader is going to want to deal with this administration and that will have a dire effect on our foreign policy. As for the headline. It appears that our man Jake likes to put words in the mouth of those whom he interviews. Better to let them speak for themselves, no matter how tortured are their explanations.

Obama has been in bed with Mubarack. Mubarack was glad to see Bush go, not friendly to his dictator type behavior.

Nonsense! Obama and this administration haven’t got a clue as to what is going on in Egypt and what to do about it. When things shake out, Obama (and the left-wing press) will try to re-write history and say it all happened because of Obama’s “leadership.” He was gutless when the Iranians revolted and he’s gutless now!

Finally –
Riots in Lousiana and Mississippi!

I don’t know who the bigger liar is, Axlerod, or Obama

RIIIIGGGHT.
Obama’s been ‘right on top’ of this thing from the get-go, for two years now.
Yessir, he saw this whole thing coming before anyone else did, and is right on top of things, and was not the least bit surprised, uncertain or flummoxed by it.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!!
Is THIS the best they can come up with?
Are they really THIS uncreative — and arrogant? Do they really think the little people are stupid enough to believe this line?
Well, sure they do.
Remember, this is the same bunch that thinks the voters ‘just don’t understand’ Obama, and that’s why they tossed his party out the door and down the steps on their heads, last November.
Jeez.
Regarding Egypt, wouldn’t it be much preferable for the White House to just admit that they didn’t see this coming, are considering their options carefully and are working to see the best thing happen?
NOOOOO — they have to come up with some kindergartenesque, LAME story about Obama ‘knowing’ all of this was coming beforehand (with the obvious inference being that if His Highness Obama had ONLY been listened to by Mubarak, this whole thing could have been avoided). He’s literally trying to write himself into this situation, and only looking like a FOOL in the process.
Obama is so out of it and irrelevant to things over there (and most everywhere else, for that matter), he probably wasn’t even thought of in the least, by most of the people involved in these uprisings…and was taken by surprise as much as anyone else, anywhere else.

WE NEED TO DEMAND OBAMA RESIGN

Now you guys know why Obama wants an “off” switch to the internet… he knows it is coming.

LOL, sure he has, Axelfraud. Sure he has.

Wimpy little man…has to worry about how he looks rather than the issue in Egypt. Here’s a clue Obama…you look like a fool, as usual.

Egypt’s stability was based on US funding and handouts. It has been like that for decades. Some of the funding was use to subsidize the cost of food (bread) which was keep at an artificially low price so the poor could afford to eat. This was a house of cards ready to fall and we assisted in its fall. Get ready for round two — as all seeing Obama can after the fact state the obvious — what a clown.

Rome burns and Obama has his aides check his tee time.

Yeah right Axelnimrod! I belive you.
Oblahblah was being proactive.
Now, was that before date night? Or after the basketball game?
We have a freaking loser leading this country.

To get ahead of this.
That is being attributed to Axelrod but Jake Tapper said it first. Jake Tapper, doing the ABC News/far left media propaganda machine.

But then again Obama has had no contact with 6 of his cabinet appointees in 2 years… what is the chance that he has been in contact with Mubarak?

Funny how Obama supports former IAEA trader, Iranian paid, scapegoat el bardie. This is designed just as Obama wants. Create a crisi and take advantage of it, Go green america…no choice.

one word BALONEY

I wish Obama would put all his energy in AMERICA

Has Obama or his “Crack” administration contemplated the Suez Canal getting into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood or other radical islamic rulers?
Is this is foreign policy strategy? Axelrod is full of you know what because Obama hasn’t said a thing about it and Wikileak cables contradict this. The Obama Admin has been trying to take Egypt down.
Do you reporters ever ask tough questions or are you so in the tank for this President and Admin?

how about taking our guys out of japan, germany etc, and take that canal over and while we’re at it get the one that’s ours inn panama back

Now Obama cann do for Egypt what Carter did for Iran.

Shoot some hoops, hit the links, take a vacation, give Mubarak a call.
Repeat…

The Australian:
“NITIALLY warm support for Barack Obama’s State of the Union address this week is giving way to criticism that his proposals for big spending on education and innovation were based on ‘empty platitudes’.
“As the dust settles after his speech to a joint sitting of congress, the President faces increased scrutiny over a lack of detail on funding for his plan to “win the future”.
“Mr Obama said significant new government investment was needed for job-creating breakthroughs in technology so the US could compete in the global economy with China and India.
“Leading US opinion-makers are lining up to challenge the President over the US federal budget deficit, arguing he is not treating it seriously enough.”

Liar.

Boy it seems that your worse off being an ally of the US under Obama then being an opponent. You have th elikes of North Koreas and Iran who are pursuing nuclear weapons and who especially in Iran had an uprising where the protesters were begging for US recognition and support and got spit on by Obama, Why ? because Obama is a socialist coward more willing to stab his allies in the back then he is to stand up to the tyrants of the world who really threaten the US. Really who is behind this , Maybe Al Qaeda, Iran, hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood who are lifwe long fors of the US.

Iran Sees Rise of Islamic Hard-Liners in Arab Lands…
USA ‘SECRETLY BACKS UPRISING’
WH: Obama has not tried to talk to Egyptian ruler…
Do we see a pattern of LIES from the White House?
and the white house plays into Irans hands ????????????????????

Baloney!

Maybe Barack didn’t explain it to Hosni enough, or really simply enough, because Barack is so brilliant and, well, Hosni is a double digiter like the rest of us- you know, like when Barack didn’t explain his policies as slowly as we need them explained right before the midterm elections.
One thing about this administration though, the never or shift blame, or say “I told you so” even when they didn’t tell us so.

Is anybody buying this grabage? If so, I have a garage filled with junk I would like to sell to you, cheap treasures….

He is on top of this like the BP oil spill 40 some days later…
Wish we had an actual news source these days.

Don’t believe it for a second. Spin is all this administration knows how to do.

“Now we’ll need someone to clean up this mess Obama has made”
Let me guess who you have in mind:
Sarah Palin
No seriously, if it wasn’t so funny we might be actually concerned this mess wasn’t already there.

I’m laughing too. Obama! Mr. Tough Guy. If he had been effective like the press keeps promoting him as being, there would be no riots…we would have low unemployment…we would have no recession continuing…we would have a rebounding economy, not the barely breathing “thing” we have now. ADMIT IT! He is no leader of the American Ideal. He is opposed to the American Ideal!

Looks like Obama picked a bad week to quit sniffin’ glue…

Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is smiling, because he knows, just like many others do too, that he is no longer the worst President of modern times
——————–
-And he’s been doing so ever since George Bush was first elected.

When Bush was actually talking publicly about the need for democracy in the middle east, the MSM scoffed at him for trying to influence other countries. But Obama “confronted” Mubarak – yeah, sure – and the MSM reports he’s getting ahead of it. Does anyone believe ABC is neutral and just reports the news?

I am sure the Nobel Peace Prize Winner will be calling for a beer summit soon…

Looks like Obama is Jimmy Carter II. Ruin american fiscal policy and let Radical Islam take over one of our allies in the middle-east. At least it will support his defeat in 2012.

Yup, this will be Barack Hussein Obama’s Jimmy Carter Moment! He’s already wandering down the Carter path!

Funny, … Mr. Axlerod, … I don’t remember Obama mentioning in his speech tonight that he has been trying to get Mubarak to pass democratic reforms for the past two years. You’d think with so much riding on this issue, that Obama would have mentioned somewhere along the way this two year reform project that you refer to, “to get ahead of it” as you say. Are you LYING to us, Sir?

Axelrod is simply providing ‘cover’ for Obama. I wouldn’t trust Axelrod anymore than I’d trust anyone with strong roots to either the PM newspaper or the Industrial Areas Foundation. Google and learn!!!

Obama is not ahead of anything. He was not ahead of his shellacking at the polls or his shellackings to come. He needs to seek expert advice on Afghanistan, meaning anybody who has experience beyond Chicago communistic organizing.

The only reason Obama would have spoken to the Egyptian leader before would be to help him maintain his grip on power and avoid an uprising by the people. Obama looks at the power that guys like this have and is envious. Damn our checks and balances…he wishes it was his turn to be a dictator.

Obama has his “Jimmy Carter” moment. Any bets whether the outcome this time will be any better? Muslim Brotherhood dominance of the largest Islamic country anyone?

Let’s all accept the fact that Obama is in way over his head and the rest of the ivy league pot smoking bunch lounging around in high paying government jobs with no accountability. Hillary Clinton has proved worthless. I doubt any conversations took place at all with Mubarek. But one thing is for certain, Egypt is an ally and Iran, Russia and China may be undermining the region for their own purposes. Jordan is also under attack by these fanatics. So, where is Obama? Is this Carter’s 2nd term? Sure looks like it.

Obama is a chump! Bush was awful and I would not trust him to tie his own shoes but even he could do better than Obama in this situation.

Axelrod is a liar. Self-serving comment to cover Obama’s incompetence. Any more questions?

@Flash Override
Mr Obama should take his own advice

Taper,
Very simplistic. Despite your claim Mubbark has held elections though they might not have been perfect.

Why is it that Obama during the street revolution in Iran two years ago did nothing to side with the demonstrators.
HE DID NOTHING!! HE SAID NOTHING!! He allowed unarmed students to be murdered in the streets of Tehran by a murderous regime. He didn’t even give the demonstrators moral support. Now Obama is concerned about human rights in Egypt. OBAMA WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAY!!

Folks, Axelrod is Billy Mays…except Billy had a real product to sell.

The difference between Iran and Egypt is that we have been supporting Egypt, Mubarak depends on our weapons and aid, and we have much more responsibility to take the right side and to use our influence for democracy in Egypt now that the Egyptian people are standing up. What would you have had us do in Iran, invade? These are secular protests in Egypt by the whole population who are sick of brutality, inflation, and unemployment.

The Obama administration believes the public will believe any of their lies because the liberal MSM has allowed them to go unchecked.

I can’t beleive that some of you idiots are attempting to blame the president for this mess. Some of you just can’t get over it.This is not America’s problem, and we shouldn’t get involved!!!!

Obama has no business intervening when he can’t even manage the affairs of the U.S.
Notice to all countries, I have been watching the news and Egypt is asking the U.S. to intervene. First, most of these countries say mind your own business U.S. then turn around and ask the U.S. to intervene. Hey folks you can’t have it both ways when it suits you.
This is not the U.S.’s problem and the U.S. should stay away.

We have a teenager for a president.

According to reports in the Middle East, just the opposite was the case in that Obama did not press the issue of democracy as Bush did. Axelrod is lying and knows Obama has shown leadership failure again by not pushing democracy and being totally unprepared for this uprising in Egypt. If our intelligence was good, then Mubarak, our strong ally, would have been advised by our own CIA that this could happen.

So, either Axelrod is lying or Obama has failed again

Was the “two year warning” in Wikileaks?
Axelrod, YOU LIE!!!! (Just like your boss)

Axelrod claims Obama has been working for two years on the Egypt issue…really?
What,..is Mubarak Obama’s golf caddy?

Our pResident is an embarrassment, but he has managed to achieve the impossible. Obama has now become the worst President ever, replacing Jimmy Carter at the bottom of the scrap heap of failed Presidents.

Total BS!

No doubt the president was “laser focused” on this, and we now see the results.

WHERE are all of the pictures of obama bowing and groveling to dictators on his world apology tour?

Jake I thought better of you. Are we really supposed to believe his stuff? Obama has displayed ZERO interest in foreign policy

A lot of generalities and vague comments…show us some actual examples, Mr. Axelrod, of what Obama has done and said in the past to try to get Mr. Mubarek to “get ahead of this.” I just can’t believe anyone would believe any of this BS. What’s scary is that Obama probably believes it too.

Mayhem follows US Ambassador around the Middle East:
Margaret Scobey, the current United States Ambassador to Egypt.
Ms. Scobey served as ambassador to Syria in 2003. She was recalled in 2005 after the assassination of the Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. In February 2008 she was nominated and confirmed as the U.S. ambassador to Egypt.

As Yogi Berra stated “This is like deja vu all over again.”
These comments remind me of the Jimmy Carter administration and the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

Community organizing ain’t as easy as it looks..

I don’t know how much Pres Obama could have done to ease the current events in the Mid East, he’s not going to take a leadership role, not in his character. But once again the White House is trying to spin a major news story in a way that makes it about Obama. What a loser…..

obama the total idiot is an embarrassment. he’s lucky we americans are basically lazy or he would see his own future in the events in egypt.

ABC News carrying the water for Obama once again. Obama has not confronted any dictator, ever. He loves dictators by all evidence. And now, once again, Obama is way behind the curve on this event.

Bwahahahahaha!

It’s amazing . Look at the anti Obama comments , they are a overwhelming majority. Go on Yahoo chat or most others and it’s the same . PLEASE , remember these comments during election time folks and vote against all and every Democrat and RINO. I still see crowds at Obama events , who the hell still likes this moron ? He is destroying the country and most will live to regret voting for him .

Gee folk you don’t remember as soon as he got elected how he jumped right on the Egyptian situation . HAHAHAHAHHAAH these people must think we are all as stupid as Democrats

This is so not our problem. Obama can’t even see the same stuff about to happen in his own country. If the dems don’t chaqnge their ways on a lot of things to turn this economy around we will all be ducking for cover. Just how much can people take. This administration is laughable.

With friends like Axel and this White House, why would any head of state trust the USA in a time of internal crisis? Why does not this government work behind the cameras and offer assistance to a friend? Why criticize him in public? Should we not have learned our lesson in regard to the Shah in 1979 when Jimbo Carter threw an ally under the bus. That turned out well, didn’t it. Of course it will be said that Egypt is corrupt. Unlike this government. Right? Dodd, Frank, Rangel, etc, etc.

I believe nothing from anyone in this administration. Matter of fact, I read in the UK Telegraph that Obama was behind this. Appointing an ambassador to Syria (our enemy) was the final straw for them. Remember Obama said he would always stand behind his muslim brothers???? This is reminescent of Carter and the Shah. Remember?????
I have a President now, that I cannot stand to look at or listen to. I believe him to be anti-American. I am anxiously awaiting for his term to be over. Once again, his cheating will start, much like it already has seemed to have done, in order for him to win. Maybe this time, we will be less trusting and more vigilant. Our tax dollars have been wasted to pay his buddies that helped him to win. GE, UAW, SEIU, NEA, and every other union

This is merely Jimmy Carter’s Second Term so sit back and wait for a the Hostage Crisis to unfold.
The ignoramuses that inflicted this insufferable dolt of a failed community organizer on us should be banned from voting for the next 30 years.

Jimmy Carter II… available in the black or white model.

Just how did Obama try to get ahead of this by sucking up and apologizing?? Obama DOESN’T know how to run THIS country HOW does he advise anyone else??

Rodney Johns,
Who is an Idiot? Why do you think an unqualified unaccomplished Affirmative Action educated community organizer with two Auto-Biographies before his 40th birthday about the influence of the father who abandon him and his mother is up to the job?

Ok, I get the idea that no one person, the President specifically does not have the kind of power needed to influence events in the Middle East.
Thank God, (literally) that no one man does have that kind of power.
But two things frighten me.
1; that a frightening number of people think the President can actually influence events in another country by the mere power of his personality.
2: That he should be able to do that;
and 3: (ok, I said 2, I know) most important, that THIS President would be capable of it.
As far as I can tell a community organizer most resembles a high school student council president with one year of experience repeated 30 times over.
Lets get our oil from our own sources, and then let the various Islamic cults sort themselves out without our help.

If you believe AX I have a bridge for sale???????????????????????????????

The administration is like a deer caught in the headlights. They dont know which way to go. What children they are. The real world is a bit more complex than their domoritory bull session solutions which I am sure they all excelled at.

If Axelrod is to be believed, this is just one
more thing Obama has failed at.

As usual it is all about Obama. This is really growing old and is quite tiring.

LIAR, LIAR, pants on fire, Mr. Axelrod!!!But then,the entire administration is made up of nothing but idiots and tall tale tellers, so what else is new????

We should pray for those in Egypt right now. God has only just gotten started….

Somebody – back a few posts – said we’re “stuck” in Iraq and Afganistan.
Son, you don’t know the half of it! We’re still “stuck” in WW II and the Korean War. The only war we’re not “stuck” in is Viet Nam.
Yep, when you WIN, you’re “stuck” for a half century at least.
That’s the way history seems to work.

What is going on in Egypt is coming to a town near you, when with our country’s debt, we can no longer borrow enough money to pay the freeloaders, and to pay those who dearly deserve the money they receive. This administration has spent us into oblivion, with no end in sight. People are nearing their end with the raising debt being levied on those who work, to pay for those who do not, and levied upon future generations. Don’t you see already creeping inflation? Just wait until oil reaches a peak we have never seen, and our administration is sitting on it’s hands, not allowing us to drill for our own. All by design.

I am SO dissappointed! The Left Coast Socialists told me that the world would love US once we elected the “messiah”. I guess they were wrong again…what else are they wrong about?

ABC, NBC, CBS and MSNBC and all the thugs in the White House are evil propogandists. We all see through you. Jake, tell Barry Soet*ro that we see through him too.

Obama being ahead of the curve on anything stretches credulity. The man is a lazy sock puppet who does as little as possible.

I think its funny “Dreams from my Father”. Obama’s so-called father abandoned him as a baby, and met him for one week as an early teen. That’s not a father, that’s a sperm donor, if he really did father Obama. He’s pretty dark. I think Stanley just asked him to pose as the father. Seriously, I question his judgement for even paying attention to his so-called father. To write a book about a guy you only met for one week, it borders on ridiculous.

I would like to hear Obama defend his
stance that we should not be drilling
for oil in the US and depend on the
activities of the middle east to dictate
the health of our economy by making us
more dependent on oil from people who
would like to see us all dead. Lets see
if Obama’s hot air can save us…..NOT!!

The only way Obama was “ahead” of this is if he saw it on ESPN or on the NBA or NFL channel.
This guy is intellectually lazy and unfocused – and he has a vacant look in his eyes most of the time.

BO it’s CYA. Time to drill, drill, drill! Five, six and seven dollar gas prices will finish off this shaky economy. Swamp Congress with drill demands now!

Axelrod referring to the foreever bowing Obama as asserting himself is so much BS it’s laughable!

Current Wikileaks news reveals Obama’s administration supported, and may have even trained, Mubarek dissidents. It is no secret that Obama’s speech to Egyptians painted a utopian picture of a democracy they really could never achieve without substantial time and effort. Egypt was a powder keg ready to blow, and Obama’s usual “say-one-thing-but-mean-another” approach to politics makes one wonder. Is this working out well for a Muslim Brotherhood takeover?

You must remember, the Hussein “needs” high oil prices as a means to push through his Cap & Trade. General electric has done much to misinform the people through NBC, and MSNBC.
General electric has made nice monetary contributions as well. Everyone must have a GE windmill in their yard!
ALSO, the Middle East must have American friendly nations surrounding those oil fields. ie Iraq ( American occupied) Afghanistan (American occupied) Egypt, soon?
Iran……good to keep an eye on this one. It is the puzzle piece between.
Also, the US military is the tenth largest consumer of oil in the world!
Hussein working on this for two years ????
What a joke ! Their polls must show the American people to be incredibly stupid to attempt a statement like that!
How are those ratings ABC ?
;)

Zero be done real soon

Maybe those Palin maps set them off.

“Axelrod: President Obama Has “On Several Occasions Directly Confronted” Mubarak on Human Rights for the Past 2 Years “To Get Ahead of This”
Thank goodness that our handsome, young, wise, vibrant President prevented the crisis in Egypt.
For a minute, I was worried that we were witnessing Iran 2.

American policy is now coming back to bite us again. America has ALWAYS supported dictators around the world as long as WE get what WE want.
Can you say;
Shah of Iran
Anastasio Somoza
Chiang Kai-Shek
Park Chung Hee
Ferdinand Marcos
Pervez Musharraf
Rafael Leonidas Trujillo
Halie Salassie
Turgut Ozal
Not to mention our support of Saddam Hussein, Batista, and the likes.
Read up on why there are “Banana Republics”. Find out what filibuster originally meant. Read up on how after the Spanish-American war, WE killed over a 100,000 Filipinos who fought for THEIR freedom from the U.S.
It’s not a pretty picture!

What kind of reform and democracy does Obiwan expect in a country in which ninety-five percent of females are still undergoing genital mutilation? zerO is such a loser.

John de Leon no need to be so sarcastic.
“Thanks goodness a decent visionary and statesman like President Obama is at the helm. He will navigate the mess in the middle east, form the perspective of the United States, just fine. He is one of the great leaders in this country’s history. God Bless President Obama! God Bless America! God soften the hearts of those who besmirch our wonderful country and president.”

Was this during Obama’s American apology tour?

I don’t believe Axlerod is telling the truth about Obama telling Mubarack to get a head of the problem.. After all Obama was telling the Arabs what a bad country we are and how good their government has been!! Obama and MuBarack are two dictator type book ends.

Obama on the case ? Suuurrreee. If Axlerod told you that wolverines would make good house pets, would you believe that, too ? You morons !

Axelrod is in campaign mode and is only lying. Proof…Give Proof. This crap is a direct result of Obama and elbardie putting this entire protest together. El bardie is not even welcome to most people in Egypt. He is a criminal. To hell with the peace prize. For what, accepting bribes from Iran. Oabam…Iran…El Bardie..Axelrod…all anti USA and pro Muslim Pro Iran thugs

You must be kidding me. Who is going to believe the biggest lie of this century. He who produced the biggest propaganda and agenda to get the biggest fraud ever elected to become POTUS. Yes David, the sheeple are listening to your BS, NOT ANYMORE!!
Our government has become so corrupt and greedy, politicians so self serving, that people in other countries don’t want to adopt our agenda. Maybe that is one reason America is so hated. I fear that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

“Thanks goodness a decent visionary and statesman like President Obama is at the helm. He will navigate the mess in the middle east, form the perspective of the United States, just fine. He is one of the great leaders in this country’s history. God Bless President Obama! God Bless America! God soften the hearts of those who besmirch our wonderful country and president.”
Holy smokes. I know you’re getting paid for this but seriously? At least pretend to be honest. Maybe next time you can say, “I don’t work for SEIU or the DNC, but I think…” At least you’ll have some subterfuge going for you. Please try again. This time with sanity.

GAP, I guess you don’t understand that our president doesn’t control other country’s leaders. If Obama has been trying to convince the Egyptian president that the human rights issues need to be addressed and Mubarak didn’t care to change his government’s behavior, that is no fault of our president’s. It is like that old saying, you can take a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. Unless you expect our president to have secret hypnotic powers, there is nothing you can do with a leader like Mubarak. I just hope the Egyptian people can get good democratic representation and leaders without too much violence and bloodshed.

Having a crew like this in the WH when the world is on fire is (biblical proportions) frightening! They are incompetent fools. Everything they have touched has been a disaster. HOW IS THAT BAN ON US OIL DRILLING WORKIN’ OUT FOR US??? Wait until the gas goes up to $7 or $8 a gallon. Hello HYPERINFLATION! It not a stretch to believe THE ONE is taking our country apart piece by piece BY DESIGN, otherwise we would have to believe he is this out touch the world’s reality. The only thing he has been “all over” is the golf course. He has bowed his way around the planet. Let’s get an alpha male, or female, next time folks. IF there is a next time.

Maybe we should take care of our own human rights issues and let them worry about theirs.

Freedom- you are probably right but the war may be over food. Since we n withhold food from Islamic countries.

Hey Skip, actually Obama’s so-so approval rating was the last thing on my mind.

Axelrod is just a mouthpiece who lies for a living. Anyone here what Obama said on his first try at speaking to this in Egypt. I quote “the internet and social networks are guaranteed rights”. Since when? If if they are guaranteed rights, why is Obama and Axelrod pushing for an internet kill switch? When the Iranian people wanted to protest and the Iranian governement killed all the protesters Obama said it was not up to America to determine what happens in another country. Kind of a different story here in Egypt. Obama would love nothing more than for Iran to control the entire Mideast and all oil. That way, America would be cut off of oil supplies and then be forced to go green. Hence, the “sputnik” comment. This white house will do anything to force their personal desire for how “they” want America to be.

‘In order to get ahead of this’ would have also been most appropriate in regards to Obama’s need to abandon Saul Alinsky and embrace the US Constitution
. . . in order to get ahead of the Tea Party patriots.

“Our enemies are now taking advantage of the Obama Administration’s weakness and indecisiveness”
Tough right-wing talk like this typically comes from those who say so from the relative safety of their keyboards and are perfectly happy to send other people’s husbands, wives and sons and daughters to go take ‘decisive action’ for them.

And who does the government torture? Terrorists?? So do we.

Welcome to our Future

Jake Tapper is now the ventriloquist for the dummy Axelrod? Not even funny anymore.

Seriously, with the U.S. apologetic stature in the past two years, does ANYONE consider POTUS blather to be an influence on Mubarak or anyone else for that matter?

If you believe this BS from Axelrod, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying. Who still believes these people?

Sounds like a bunch of short order cooks on here, bunch of hash slingers. Slinging hash doesn’t get it done, if your discords are as such, then follow the lead of the Egyptian people, hash slinging won’t get it done, put up or shut up!!! Say or do something constructive. This is all coming about because of greed, and power, and people are tired and backs to the wall, if it doesn’t get turned around here All the CEO’s and Political parties will have the same thing on there hands here, they can’t take your spirit or your soul, only two inetites can get that, wonder how good CEO’s are at self servival? We the people make them their profits, feed them, cloth them et al. How long will it be before we stop? One CEO got 84 million in awards and bonuses, all tax free. No trickle down, no taxes collected, thats why the economy is faltering, you take that currency out of circulation and put it in their fat tax free portfolio’s. Thats just one when there are millions of them. Pepople here are gettting tire too, the fuse is ticking, and if the Feds don’t get this turned around it will be self survial here in the good ole USA too!!

Somebody should advise Barry to get in front of the mess here brewing at home.
No jobs. No value in our homes and no hope.
That’s the reality.
Meanwhile, Clinton and the Obama types dine on kobe beef, pull million dollar tax funded retirement packages and sip $200.00 per bottle win.
ENOUGH!

Obama just identifies and works on those hope and change things. He does not actually fix anything.
Close Guantanamo, fail.
Foreclosure prevention plan, fail.
Stimulas plan, fail.
Obama Care, fail.
Climate Change Global Conference, fail.
Climate Change U.S. legislation, fail.
Unemployment, keep it under 8.5%, fail.

You have to love the Main Stream Media.
The police are supposed to let the
“Peaceful Demonstrators” burn down the Police stations and burn the police vehicles without using violence, but,
When the police stop preventing criminals from committing violent acts, the media blames the police for the violence.

I’ll bet Obama was really tough, too, right after he got over bowing to Mubarak and kissing his shoes.

if you run your country like i run mine the people will riot.people will die.you have to change

BO gave Mubarak a set of DVDs that he couldn’t play and an iPod with BO’s speeches. that is about the extent of BO’s foreign policy experience anyway, with the additional BOWING to dictators.

Please…no more spin from UNI-BROW!

What a lie.
Axelrod and Obama can’t open either of their mealy little mouths without lying.

This failure to influence Mubarak by Obama is astounding.
Look at how Obama has succeeded with his engagment with Iran.
With North Korea.
With China.
With Russia.
With Afghanistan.
With Pakistan.
Why would Eygpt be any different?

Uhhh I’ve been speaking to President for Life Mabarak for 2 years now, to get ahead of this crisis, but he didn’t listen to me, The O. Now look at this mess Bush left on my plate!Just so you know I have also been trying to convince the peaceful religious rulers of Iran, and the Ill family in N.Korea(to love their neighbors),as well as the bigots in Israel (to give up and move away).Not to worry tho, we will print more money to smooth out these rough spots and invest in America too!

IT IS time to call Jiminy Carter to the rescue. And “Wm” noted all the international failures this president has accomplished. Domestically he is being rejected by last count 26 states and is at open war with the state of Arizona. What this enemy in chief and the American people need is an acceleration of time to 11/2012. Barack should be the replacement for Mubarak, birth certificate not required.

Axelrod: President Obama Has “On Several Occasions Directly Confronted” Mubarak on Human Rights for the Past 2 Years “To Get Ahead of This”
Given Obama’s dismal lackluster performance for the past 2 years I’d have to see that with my own eyes to believe it!

“Domestically he is being rejected by last count 26 states”
There’s the rub, evidence of the sting of that 50%+ approval rating shows through. Let’s see, there’s a revolt brewing in Egypt, how can we find some way to criticize Obama for it? In the meantime if we are fortunate enough that the Egyptians embrace democracy you’ll all be eating your hats yet again! The really funny part though is the fabricated critics offer a failed governor of Alaska who can only sell books and blab in the safety of right-wing TV shows as a substitute!

Obama’s theme song should be “Send in the Clowns.” Every time one of these leftists members of his administration rears their progressive heads to speak to us on just how on top of things this man child president is. I know they are lying and Obama is completely lost and looking for cover. They need to be making plans for their careers, not looking to get this jack ass elected again, it’s not going to happen you idiot freaks of the 60′s.

“Progressive-Socialists never see the troubles coming!”
-But conservatives do….like 9/11, the financial crash, intense factional violence in Iraq, nominating Sarah Palin…

I’ve been telling my wife for two years that she should stop asking me to shovel snow. But wait, the snow is still there. (New Jerseyan parable for “I don’t care what you ‘warned.’ I care what you did.” (which was nothing)

What a farce. I have a question for ABC…let’s start asking the question….Why has Obama not put the USA first on this and lifted the oil moratorium…or does he want us as impoverished as the Egyptians?

I support the Egyptian folks. They deserve better and hopefully the change they want happens.
If it does happen we can be sure Obama will step up and take full credit. Was it really necessary to send Axlerod on TV?

You guys are idiots. If you don’t think the US had an awful lot to do with this then you’re naive. There are only a few organizations that can organize a bloodless coup while the police disappear and the entire military stands down with at least eighteen simultaneous points of aggression while Hillary asks for a “peaceful transition.” Come on people. Mubarek was a backstabbing thug — he was no puppet, he was a mini-Saddam. The worst case scenario would have been that the Presidency was handed over to his nutcase son — this year.

Where does this fantasyland pie in the ground [instead of the sky] idea that there is anywhere near enough domestic oil anywhere to meet our needs come from? It’s like a pathetic tale of lost gold clung to by the intellectual elite of the wacko right-wing fringe. It’s just not there folks, I hate to break it to those who aren’t just parroting the tall tale solely for propaganda purposes. Only foreign sources have enough reserves to supply the quantities of oil we consume.

“So anyone believe this?”
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Nothing but damage control from the leftwing sychophants replying in here.
You’re cooked Tapper! You talked talked talked.. saying NOTHING.. but telling us EVERYTHING!
Pull your head out of Obama’s fanny, Jake.

“Where does this fantasyland pie in the ground [instead of the sky] idea that there is anywhere near enough domestic oil anywhere to meet our needs come from?”
Jeeze Skip, What geothermal underground pool are you swimming in? The US has oil and other energy reserves galore. Unfortunately we will not see any relaxation of prospecting or production rules until the green dreaming luddites in Washington have to answer to a society furious about $5.00 a gallon gas. In the meantime, overseas oil will have no trouble selling there stocks to the hungry and clear thinking Chinese.
Remember Skip. Even that neat little Chevy Volt needs a bit of gasoline beyond its 40 mile charge. A charge that probably comes from a coal or natural gas fired power plant. Get real man.

I still remember vididly the teleprompter visit Cairo and gave speech which bashing the US for his trip around the Europe. Now it is time people know who this man is. Most of leaders around the world think this guy has no abilities to do anything, just wait and see thing float and then gives another speech so that the asskissers in the media just say that the teleprompter says such such with no any particular solution and get credit. My own oppinion for Americans is that never trust this teleprompter at all. My ten-year old can read and shows gesture even a lot better the teleprompter does.

Yeah, like my son being deployed to Afghanistan this year? Careful what you post when you don’t have a clue who you are posting about!

“Yeah, like my son being deployed to Afghanistan this year?”
I have a perfect clue what I am posting about. If all the right-wingers who supported starting the war in Iraq had volunteered to go fight it we wouldn’t have needed to send 30+ year old housewives who did a stint in the nation guard over there. Considering the lack of credibility in most of these posts I am under no particular inclination to believe anything you claim about a son, but if it’s true I wish him the best, but it only places you in the minority however.

Medicare, Social Security and the Armed Forces account for most of the government’s expenses Ma, If Republicans don’t want to pay their fair share let’s see them demonstrate their alleged courage and write legislation authorizing big cuts.

“If the new standard is going to be that the support of various policies requires the supporters themselves to make the sacrifices, then let’s go for it.”
They do make the sacrifices. This pathetic whine that paying taxes is equivalent to potentially getting killed in the Middle East cannot be coming from anybody related to me.

“They do make the sacrifices. This pathetic whine that paying taxes is equivalent to potentially getting killed in the Middle East cannot be coming from anybody related to me.”
There you go again, Skippy. Nobody ever said the sacrifices themselves were equivalent. We’re merely suggesting that your standard be applied evenly, not just in areas in which you can stand on a soap box and demonstrate your self-styled moral superiority.
And don’t worry — you were adopted.

“Problem is, we all recognize that the Democrat Party is a large net consumer of tax revenue and you can’t get blood from a stone”
There you go again, asserting that the primary beneficiaries of the military and the entitlements are Democrats and they don not make sacrifices to pay for these things. It’s nonsense.

If the standards are not equivalent then why should they be treated evenly? Damages in lost human life and lost property are not the same. Tax code and government policy can be changed if people decide it’s unfair, property can be gained and lost. There is no possible compensation for lost human life.

Its like that Peter Seller’s movie “Being There” where he plays Chauncey the gardener, who really has a real low IQ but when he speaks those who listen think he is profound, a genius and all who listen think he is the second coming of the Savior. Flash to modern day when an inexperienced fool gets elected on a moronic mantra of hope and change, and the sheeple fall for it.
Of course the situation in Egypt reminds me of another Peter Seller’s movie “The Mouse that Roared” where a small, little country (Iran?) takes on a war with a big, sophisticated country with a huge military arsenal (USA?) and defeats them.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
