President Obama Says He Hopes “Patriot” Mubarak ‘Makes the Right Decision’

update got put on the wrong story

Finally, the idiots in the White House and the Dept of State are getting the message. “Now means now” was an appallingly ignorant policy. It’s about time they backed away from it.
This guy is the most ill-suited person we have ever had in the WHite House. It shows in his economic policies and now his foreign policies. It’s not a team of rivals, its a confedaracy of dunces who are running our country

“He needs to listen to what’s being voiced by the Egyptian people, and make a judgment about a pathway forward that is orderly but that is meaningful and serious.” Obama.
When will Obama listen to what is being voiced (elections) by the American people? If we get .3% of the American people to show up at the WH will he resign? Less than this number are showing up in Egypt. Did Obama have this same attitude with the Iranian protestors? No, he said he wasn’t getting involved. And the media continues to cover for this man child.

Of course, Obama hasn’t the slightest clue as to what the “right decision” is, but why should that stop him from talking endlessly?

“Is this an indication that Obama will also be a patriot in 2012 and not run for a second term?”
In a democracy there is no reason why a president cannot run for 2nd or even 3rd terms, provided those elections are fair and free.
Obama can run again if he wishes.

“WikiLeaks cables: US agrees to tell Russia Britain’s nuclear secrets” – Foghorn Leghorn
Wasn’t that agreed upon in the START treaty?

“If you end up having just gestures towards the opposition but it leads to a continuing suppression of the opposition, that’s not going to work,” the president said. “If you have the pretense of reform but not real reform, that’s not going to be effective.”
well, he said it…not that he’s ‘listening’ to what he says, even with his Nov ‘shellacking’…
so now he’s ‘projecting’ his faults on Mubarak…well, that’s easier, isn’t it? narcissists are never at fault, ever…

“In a democracy there is no reason why a president cannot run for 2nd or even 3rd terms, provided those elections are fair and free.”
Except in those democracies whose constitutions have been amended to prohibit a third term.

Whose interests are served by the following?
1)An assassination attempt was made on Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman? Why no comment from the White House? If Suleiman is “gone” and Mubarek is forced out who or what is likely?
2) Masked men engaged in a ‘Terror attack on Egypt-Israel gas pipeline in El-Arish’. The Muslim Brotherhood has stated if would shut of Egypt’s gas supplies to Israel.
3) An immediate resignation and elections in Egypt? Who is the most organized party? Which “leader” is backed by financier and Obama backer George Soros. Which opposition leader has a working relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood?
4)Who has been calling for non secular participation in Egypts new government? Who are the Obama representatives meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood and what is their affiliation with the Int Crisis Group? Who funds the Int Crisis Group?
5) Where are the News organisations demands for answers or questions ? Who is Jamie Rubin’s wife and what is her ideological and/or Journalistic curiosity to these questions?
6) What is the Open Societies relationship to to former Clinton and current Obama high ranking figures,negotiators and media?
7)Who benefits from chaos in Egypt? Why do we want an immediate resignation of Mubarek yet did not want to “meddle” in Iran?
8) Is the Saudi Kingdom a model of democracy? Is Col Qaddafi a follower of Jefferson? Is Basher Assad going to resign? Is Lebanon better off after the murder of Harari and the Hezbollah representation and/or takeover of the government?
9) Where is the fourth estate and why are questions not being asked?

Obama is still pretending that Mubarak is actually making decisions. That time has passed, and he is no longer in control of the State.

I’d like to see a story about Obama selling out Britain to get Russia to agree to the START Treaty.
But don’t expect to. Journalism is truly dead at ABC.

Pathology and spite
Touchstones of the political right.

It’s no coincidence that Al Baradei showed up in Cairo only two days after the uprising began and was immediately named a negotiator by the Muslim Brotherhood. In fact, he had been waiting in the wings for quite a while.
He’s on the board of an organization headed by George Soros and Zbigniew Brzezinski called International Crisis Group. Brzezinski is the same man who supervised the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979

Nephron, wow, so much bitterness.
Why is a national movement in Egypt any fault of Obama? How is he selling out Egypt, unless you mean Egypt is Mubarak’s government, and not its people or their welfare?
Mubarak is responsible for Egypt’s people revolting against him, by allowing corruption on all levels of government, and violence in the police force to flourish. I pray that the Egyptian people can have a fair election and get better leadership.

I wish that those people who now mainly define who they are by how much crazy they can fling about Obama would wake up and begin studying whats really going on in the world, because that much energy and passion could be put to good use.
What we’re seeing in Egypt right now is a slow-moving coup, one that have been planned for quite a long time. The only wild card is the youth movement in the streets, and both their fortitude and their perspicacity is about to be tested to the limit.
So far, they have proven able on both fronts. These are their current demands:
• the removal of Hosni Mubarak and the whole apparatus of the Mubarak regime;
• a committee which will appoint a transitional government, the committee to be made up of 6 named senior judges, six representatives from their youth movement and two members of the military
• a council to draw up a new constitution, which would then be put to the people in a referendum
• elections at national and local level in accordance with the constitution.

ElBaradei, and his National Association for Change movement are in no position to begin negotiations on behalf of the anti-Mubarak Egyptian people. Elbaradei must wait until Mubarak leaves office and leaves Egypt before any type of negotiation can begin. The sooner Mubarak leaves office and leaves Egypt, the sooner negotiations can begin.
The Egyptian people, represented by the anti-Mubarak demonstrators in Tahrir Square, do not recognize Mubarak’s National Democratic Party nor the constitution of that party.
The anti-Mubarak protestors and the Egyptian people, whom they represent, call for drafting of a new constitution and the forming of an “adhoc government”, composed of ElBaredei, and the popular Egyptian leaders, whom Mubarak banned and tortured, some of whom live in exile.
Frank Wisner, Obama’s Special Representatitve to Egypt, is on the wrong side of history in going against the will of the Egyptian people. Hillary Clinton and Frank Wisner don’t understand that the people of Egypt do not accept the “constitutional hurdles” that they speak of. The people of Egypt, represented by the anti-Mubarak protestors, have declared Mubarak’s constitution an illegal document, and a document of terror against the Egyptian people.
Hillary Clinton has beern wobbling like a duck, all over the place, ever since the Egyptian peoples’ revolution begin. It is obvious that she and the powers that be in Washington would like for Mubarak to stay in power. However, she knows that is not going to happen. So Hillary Clinton’s statements, and posturing, change daily on the revolution occuring in Egypt. She, like most American leaders, are behind the curve on what is taking place in Egypt.

The Egyptians seem very adept at completely ignoring Obama’s instructions:
“Suleiman met Saturday with representatives from several opposition parties. But representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest opposition party, said they had not participated in the talks. Nor did Mohamed ElBaradei, the democracy advocate and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who had earlier been chosen by opposition parties as their spokesman.”
If what emerges is a regime even remotely sympathetic to US interests, it will be in spite of what the Obama morons are doing.

“US special envoy Frank Wisner has said that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak should remain in power to oversee a transition to democracy. The remarks appear to contradict previous US calls for Mr Mubarak to begin an immediate transition. The state department has not yet commented.”
These people are not merely incompetent. They are haplessly, cluelessly, dangerously incompetent.

So Barry was against Mubarak (2002ish speech) before he was for Mubarak(last week) before he was against Mubarak(this week) before he was for Mubarak. It’s like he is getting advice from a Magic 8-Ball.

The essential question in Egypt for the state is whether or not they are going to be able to shuffle people around like a Three Card Monte game, but continue with the same neoliberal policies that brought the population to the boiling point.
To pretend that economic repression is not the central issue here is either willfully ignorant or insanely cynical.
The problem I have with the wingnuts is not their crazy conspiracy theories, it is in fact that they are actually naively innocent when it comes to analysing whats happening. The Obama plan is not in the interests of the US, but not for the reasons they think. Do they understand that the Obama plan is to remove Mubarak and substitute his chief of intelligence, and keep all of the state institutions of repression of the people and the peace treaty intact? From their comments you would think not.
Do they understand that 90% of Egyptians are in favor of a secular state? Apparently not.

“Bush not only drove away Conservatives”
Just where exactly did he drive them away to? It’s amazing the lengths these baloney-meisters will go to to try and wash the Republicans’ hands of George Bush.

And here I thought Sarah Palin had rallied the conservative base; it shows her popularity has been exaggerated all along.
