Obama Releases First Public Statement On Egypt
From President Obama:
As I have said since the Egyptian revolution, the United States supports a set of core principles, including opposition to violence, protection of universal human rights, and reform that meets the legitimate aspirations of the people. The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law. Since the current unrest in Egypt began, we have called on all parties to work together to address the legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people, in accordance with the democratic process, and without recourse to violence or the use of force.
The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people. Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsy and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsy and his supporters. Given today’s developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the government of Egypt.
The United States continues to believe firmly that the best foundation for lasting stability in Egypt is a democratic political order with participation from all sides and all political parties – secular and religious, civilian and military. During this uncertain period, we expect the military to ensure that the rights of all Egyptian men and women are protected, including the right to peaceful assembly, due process, and free and fair trials in civilian courts. Moreover, the goal of any political process should be a government that respects the rights of all people, majority and minority; that institutionalizes the checks and balances upon which democracy depends; and that places the interests of the people above party or faction. The voices of all those who have protested peacefully must be heard – including those who welcomed today’s developments, and those who have supported President Morsy. In the interim, I urge all sides to avoid violence and come together to ensure the lasting restoration of Egypt’s democracy.
No transition to democracy comes without difficulty, but in the end it must stay true to the will of the people. An honest, capable and representative government is what ordinary Egyptians seek and what they deserve. The longstanding partnership between the United States and Egypt is based on shared interests and values, and we will continue to work with the Egyptian people to ensure that Egypt’s transition to democracy succeeds.

Obama, in Situation Room, meets with national security team to discuss situation in Egypt, via NB
* * *
Meanwhile, in simpler days:
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in Egypt on Saturday for meetings with its newly elected Islamist president and the chief of its still-dominant military council, declaring that the United States “supports the full transition to civilian rule with all that entails.”
But after weeks of internal debate across the Obama administration over how to respond to the ongoing struggle between the president and the generals, Mrs. Clinton touched on it only lightly, saying she looked forward to working “to support the military’s return to a purely national security role.”
State Department officials said the meeting itself sent a historic message. Seated in an ornate room in the presidential palace, Mrs. Clinton smiled for cameras and traded pleasantries with President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist jailed more than once by the American-backed autocracy overthrown 18 months ago. She became the highest ranking United States official to meet Mr. Morsi since he was sworn in two weeks ago as Egypt’s first democratically elected president.
* * *
The generals, who seized power last year after the ouster of the strongman Hosni Mubarak, have repeatedly rebuffed American pressure. The new president, Mr. Morsi, and the other leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood still harbor deep doubts about Washington’s agenda and have repeatedly surprised American officials in Washington with the accelerating pace of their moves to take power.
Implausibly, some of the Brotherhood’s secular opponents have even accused the United States of conspiring with the Islamists to push them to power. By nightfall Saturday, hundreds of protesters had gathered outside Mrs. Clinton’s hotel to protest against the claimed conspiracy. Using a transliteration of the Arabic word for the Brotherhood, one sign read: “If you like the Ikhwan, take them with you!”
“In some ways, all the talk in Washington about what to do in Egypt is incredibly inefficient,” said Peter Mandaville, a political scientist at George Mason University who until recently advised the State Department on Islamist politics in the region. “At a time of virtually zero U.S. influence, we don’t need to waste so much time figuring out how to try to get the Egyptian people to like us.”
The Muslim Brotherhood and President Morsi, meanwhile, remain deeply wary of Washington’s goals even after a year of mutual outreach, diplomats say, while Brotherhood leaders appear still convinced American policy makers see Egypt exclusively through the prism of Israel’s security.
* * *
“Every bone in the body of the U.S. foreign policy establishment is going to feel more comfortable with the idea that there is still a strong military looking over these guys,” said Mr. Mandaville, the former State Department adviser, “and looking out for U.S. interests in Egypt and the region.”

"The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, "
(except for homosexuals, union bossess, hollywood elite, abortionists and radical islamists)
and the American Democrat party which should rule forever.
The junior officers at the State Dept. must feel like we are rookies. The US is shown to be amateurs for all the world to see. Benghazi.Snowden,NSA. Syria FSA beheading of Priest.Protests in Turkey,Brazil,Cairo all partly linked to exporting inflation by massive printing. Karzai states that he has been on the CIA payroll for years.Ya just couldn't make this shit up.I see a hollywood movie in here somewhere's....
I hope Barry wakes up in a drenching sweat when he nightmares himsef into thinking he is next.
I bet he looks at all the generals a bit different at the next meeting.
A democratically elected person can be removed by democratic will, peacefully when the military step aside...or come out in the open and support the majority.
O'bomba will be given an elegant exit...or else. Like Nixon.
I shall be flying a flag with 13 stars tomorrow, Independence Day, and suggest that every state flies its own flag, for the people, by the people, of the people. The 10th Amendment, the sovereignty of states.
Walk like an Egyptian.
...So let it be written, so let it be done.

Excellent, ersatzeil. I'd print that, but the print media is run by boyz own eejits nowadays; mommy and daddy's lil pets.
Wannabe pharoah O'bomba/Mursi get their skinny arses kicked. Good. Kerry would stab anyone in the back, including O'bomba.
obama is not giving aid or support or money to Egypt - he is giving it to the muslimbrotherhood
Huh...
The whole assemblage of a New Caliphate by the West in Quest of a New Permanent Enemy for the Long War just took a Step Back....
The West dismantled the Caliphate and funded the Wahabi-Saud takeover of the Hejaz.
The Ottoman Caliphate based in Istanbul ain't looking that bad now, eh?
"The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law."
That's where I stopped reading... how ignorant of history, even recent history, do you have to be to not ROTFL over that one? The only people in the world ignorant enough to buy that at face value are US citizens.
Most people buy that $hit in every land, especially Britain, the major Western funder of islamofascists, outside Saudi Arabia. How's Mandelson, Bliar and Brown doing these days? All friends of bombing any land, for their Internationale.
But is sounds so good and so unselfish! That is all that matters...the cool soundbite.
This guy needs a psychologist, he obviously is a pathological liar.
This person may not be completely rooted in reality, believing the lies they tell, often in an effort to remedy low self esteem. Unlike telling a few fibs here and there, or slightly exaggerating the truth once in a while, the pathological liar lies about literally every aspect of his or her life. From how much was spent on dinner last night to talking about the last time the dog was bathed, the pathological liar feels that every bit of communication has strategic meaning positioned for his or her gain.
Sound right to me.

Printing FED QE monies they don’t have in the till, and calling it Humanitarian Aid is priceless. Just wait until the compounded interest rate invoice arrives in the mail.
Didn't Morsi make Barry a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? Barry will have to give his gifts back.
Years ago I remember then US. Ambassador to Iraq,Ms. April Glaspie telling Saddam that the" US had no position on an Arab/Arab dispute".He turns around to his flunkie and says "warm up those tank engines,we're moving on Kuwait". Nudge,nudge.Wink,wink.
She would not have said that without specific authorization.
The trouble with Morsi and his bunch in Cairo was they didn't move fast enough with the Sharia law introduction (like Iran).Morsi wanted to do the go slow approach,nibbling away at civil law protections.Riots against the Christians.Arafat-style statements against the Israelis.
The military just needed to be patient.Whoever is the figurehead they still need US parts for their planes and hardware.The country is bankrupt,cannot exist without substantial foreign aid (which has strings as we see now).This reminds me of that "Bartertown" sequence in that Mad Max movie "Thunderdome". Embargo on.Lift Embargo,etc.
Hey, Blobama, STFU!!! Oh, I forgot, FOAD!!! JUMP, FUCKER, JUMP!!
give the people what they want. WOAR! in the meantime someone needs to patent a solar powered tank.
Barry already has someone on it. It will have popup windmills for nighttime use and hooks for camels when all else fails. It will be part of the US green military. The tanks will be painted a gender sensitive color.
Gots to be sensitive, don't want to hurt anybody's feelings! Even the fucking new software for MS Office is sensitive now. The old Excel charts in 5.0, 97/2003 had crisp primary colored lines: bright red, royal blue, etc, and easy to look at. Contrast that to Office 2010 and now the lines are pumpkin orange, chartruese red, dark avocado green, and everything has soft rounded corners and edges, including the control panel. Sheesh, we hate it!
Egypt: Background and U.S. Relations| June 27, 2013
For Obama Administration officials and the U.S. military, there is a desire to engage Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi’s government on a host of issues, including immediate economic support and Sinai security. For others, opportunities for renewed diplomacy may be overshadowed by disruptive political trends that have been unleashed by the so-called Arab awakening and allowed for more expression of anti-Americanism, radical Islamist politics, antipathy toward Israel, and sectarianism, among others. For FY2014, President Obama is requesting $1.55 billion in total bilateral aid to Egypt ($1.3 billion in military aid and $250 million in economic aid).
Wow, Eric the Place Holder is in the photo. Did someone photoshop him in? What a useless seat warmer.
Do they have a photographer at ALL top secret meetings? Does he get killed afterwards?
Drones
They use drones
Can u imagine the torture of trying to make sense in one of those meetings.
Just when something rational has been decided, Maxine Waters is brought in as a special adviser and the rest of the realm goes to shit on top of the already foundering.
Bullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllshit ! Respect the rule of law my ass
"...protection of universal human rights..."
What the fuck is that asshole Obummer talking about?
You mean the right to privacy and illegal search and seizure you fuckwad?
You mean the right to freedom of speech (AP and Press persecution) and the right to property (KELO vs. City of New London) or the right to keep and bear arms (Second Amendment)?
You fucking worthless piece of shit for a President. Same to those of you in the military and the judiciary and the legislative branch trampling our rights and The Constitution!
Fuck you worthless assholes! Get with the program or use a permanent marker to draw a ring around your necks or a bullseye on your foreheads!
You are either with We The People or against Us!
Make up your small little minds you wankers!
+ 1776
Don't forget Libya and the "days not weeks" and the unilateral suspension of the part of ObamaCare that was inconvenient to implement by 1/2014 as the written law required.
Right, have not heard any of the geniuses in the MSM mention whether the insurance purchase requirement or IRS penalties will be waived until 2014 like the requirements for businesses and the corporatocracy have been.
But eb, it's another Good Decision by the pedident.
Gonna tell you all something BIG.
Knukie's hereby marks this whole fucking trip to Africa as the critical watershed turning point of the decline and fall.
That sealed it
It was the WTF moment, just as Dukakis in the tank turret.
Read the international press for a change.
There's been a noticeable shift in public statements and they ain't a leading indicator.
He's toast.
Will be pic next to dictionary's "lame duck"
Nonetheless, a very dangerous one... caged, cornered...
Egomaniacal narcissism is a dangerous thing to challenge in a man lost power. And he shall likely be seeing everything as a "personal" challenge....
It's over for O'bomba in the dying days of his regime who failed.
Imagine if you paid someone to manage democracy, and s/he failed, and you had the wit, will and money to get rid of him/her.
You would.
Morsi/O'bomba. Soon to be gone, for their incompetence.
Biden/Corzine 2016 here we come!
Biden and Corzine will lose a lot sooner, imo. Incompetence by overpaid fools deserves severe punishment.
Even if the elections were not rigged. The demographics been have purposely changed since LBJ and will continue to change with the coming immigration laws. What can I say, PC has made us into a bunch of sorry ass bitches. Press 1 for stupid.
I am personally and unilaterally waiving them for myself.
Be careful. If you get labeled as dangerous and classified as a "terrorist" you can be droned without trial. Oh, yes. It is perfectly legal so the rule of law will apply.
Good.
If Fathers and Mothers, Sisters and Brothers, Sons and Daughters are killed protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan the least I can do is die here on U.S. soil.
Good person, ebworthen. Those who die in foreign fields do so that you will defend the Constitution, home. Let's die for each other, rather than nothing. Death comes to us all, eventually, anyway.
Good men always put their life before that of their loved ones. But without being tested how would we know.
"I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly..."
def.
call on - To order or request to undertake a particular activity:
I hope he doesn't believe he's the Commander and Chief of the Egyptian military.
"to move quickly"
They sure looked pretty damned efficient to me...
"I'm king of the world!"
-Jack Dawson and Barry Obama
Who do you think keeps Egypt's military from being literal camel-jockeys using recycled Soviet rifles and prop planes from WWII?
Who gives them the oil and food they can't afford?
I am certainly glad Obama believes in the rule of law. When is he going to demonstrate that in the US?
Obama - what a sorry-ass wanker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWBUl7oT9sA
So in summary, Mr President, Anti-Western Muslim Brotherhood likely Benghazi supporter Morsi = good?
Pro-Egypt, anti-Islamist Egyptian military = bad?
So then,
you have enough proof now to see that the president is a puppet.
You should be wondering how to save the current form of government,
because there is no different form of government that you will like,
and if you quickly remember how our government was designed to work,
you will realize that Congress should be the focus of your attention.
(Get off your "leader" meme)
Congress is the enemy of solutions, because Congress is protecting a President
behaving in rogue fashion, an office that by design (and law) has very limited power.
What is most disturbing is that I'm preaching to a choir with selective hearing.
How can this liar claim to support rule of law when he has yet to do so in the US? Hey, Egypt, please come over and overthrow our dictator after you have disposed of yours. Thanks, a grateful nation.
Obama is a fucking criminal. He should be impeached, tried and executed.
lol @ rule of law, look in the mirror son.
hum, let's see. fraudulent elections, islamo-commie "winners", trashed constitutions, morsi shown the door by military. could barry, aka jesus, be hearin' footsteps? where be the Joint Chiefs of Staff tonite?
O'bomba's handlers know about the Generals he sacked after Benghazi. They are gone, not forgotten, and they certainly remember him, and them...including Hitlary Cliton.
That's our Bitch, Egypts dictator.
If Obammy is an example of CIA groomed politico .... I have to question their competence ! Beware of foreign entanglements especially refers to retarded leftists ! McDonalds and many reputable American companies have no trouble conducting their affairs around the globe .... but look at Hillary, Susan Rice, Obama, Madeline Allbright, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton embarrass and endanger us with our own tax money ?
Interesting piece concerning Obama and ACA. The question is Steve King (R-IA) not the other neanderthal douche in the House jawboning or does he have a valid point.
http://cdn.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/03/Rep-Steve-King-Obama-...
On Wednesday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said, “If President Obama wants to make changes to ObamaCare, he must come to Congress.”King confronted the Obama administration on its decision to illegally delay enforcement of the employer mandate of the president’s signature health care legislation until 2015 – after the 2014 midterm elections.
“President Obama has no constitutional authority to amend his own bill,” King asserted. “He has no constitutional authority to simply waive the law. No matter Obama’s determination to suspend his own law, only Congress can do so.”
According to CNS News, King said:
The mandate, a central provision of ObamaCare, requires employers with at least 50 full-time employees – workers who average 30 or more hours per week – to provide health insurance. It was scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2014, and established fines, to be paid to the IRS, for employers that did not comply with it.
On Tuesday, a Treasury Department spokesperson announced that the employer mandate provision of ObamaCare will be delayed for one year. The individual mandate, requiring all Americans to purchase health care insurance, or else pay a “tax,” as defined by the Supreme Court, and the HHS mandate, requiring most religious employers to provide free contraception, sterilization procedures, and abortion-inducing drugs to its employees, are apparently not delayed.
Though the Affordable Care Act, known as ObamaCare, was billed to Americans as a panacea that would bring down the costs of health insurance as it insured millions more people, it remains widely unpopular with American voters.
White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on Wednesday, “We will convene employers, insurers, and experts to propose a smarter system and, in the interim, suspend reporting for 2014.”
Massachusetts is the guinea pig for this failed statist sick care system which profits insurance companies and politicians most.
It has failed horribly, and most people in MA know this, complain about this, yet it continues. This is full on Nazi; damn the poor and the rich. Forward for the bureaucrats, and wasteful career politicians.
MA fines people who do not comply with the system...even if they tried to comply and the bureaucracy failed. No one compensates the innocent person when they are wrongly fined by the MA 'health connector'. This is the horrible system coming to the rest of the USA.
It profits insurance companies and politicians most - not the medics or the patients.
That Constitutional BS is for Egypt, not us, silly wabbit! We don't need no stinking Constitution when we have a great guy like Barry in charge. Things like laws, process, separation of powers just get in the way of his ability to transform America into the perfect country it needs to be. So, let us not impair the godlike genius of our Prez.
He says this stuff just to tick people off.
I don't believe there wasn't one sentence that didn't contain complete bullshit other than the "relevant aid" one. The sad aspect of that is that all Barry is saying is that we're waiting to see who we have to buy off so they won't attack the Jews.
Fuck. You. Barry.
Fuck. You. Shillary.
Fuck. You. To. Hell.
Americana 'Foreign Policy' and its universal dogmatic palliated sophistry-- "given one's eyeteeth'... as in an absolute inchoated syncreticism?' this posthumous ingsoc 'Oxymoron'... framed as a dichotomous congruent meme-- a politician turned scientist in a distal rhetorical malaprop, and awashed in a freezed-dried feigned simile ad`absurdium!... wassailing in the shadow of a blue`moon's cold-dark eminence de`grise motley`cape... this sir'd peter de mandaville-lian buffoon!?

Oh boy, the guy who isn't qualified to run a fucking hot dog stand issues a statement. I feel soooooo much better now Chalky, knowing you and the rest of your hacks are on the case. What a fucking tool.

<<protection of universal human rights>>
...giggles....
... as in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - the right to asylum
That / Those L Y I N G mother fuckers. Sadly, most people will believe the lies coming from the forked tongue. Have to admit, the public statement was well crafted. It's tragic that the Egyptians ousted a douche bag, hoping for a legitimate gov, only to slowly learn, the line of douche bags is endless. Not that different to our own long line of douche bags. The uproar needs to be global, not national. But I'm starting to think we might get there.
O'bomba will be given the chance of an elegant exit, somewhat similar to Nixon who only resigned a couple years after his offenses were known, and gradually revealed.
In advance, Happy Independence Day, friend. Long live the Republic, no matter how long it takes to secure it.
No surrender.
I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law.
Now there is a scary statement.
Fascist O'bomba and his handlers just got their arse kicked, and he tries to save his lying face, and theirs.
His live-in psychiatrist Valerie Jarrett will have to work hard to keep him on message for her Internationale, funded by George Soros, the nazi boy in his youth who stole from jews and now pursues his New World Order, by order of the Rothschilds and other feudalists of the British/European monarchy, vatican, hofjuden. Their Trilateral Commission. Freaks.
O'bomba is this sort of fascist: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power,
forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce etc.,
and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
the transition to democracy is a long road
.
full of governments
Democracy is extemist. Only a Republic is worth defending.
You know, I often get depressed from the stuff I read in ZH, because the future looks bleak. At the same time I get encouraged when I see so many who see through the BS.
Happy Independence Day, brother. No one said it was easy. Yet it is good.
Back at you, man.
Translated: I will do all I can to support my comrades in the muslim brotherhood to coup the coup, but if they lose I will bow down to whoever ends up winning.
PS. Including sending democrat election specialists to ensure success at the 'democratic' elections. ;)
MCain went to Syria to cavort with islamists, so the Repugnants have nothing to be proud of, imo...as they spend our blood and treasure for CONgress and globalists, the old feudalists and Internationale.
The Constitution does not approve foreign wars. I would arrest both McCain and O'bomba as traitors, blood thirsty pets of foreign powers who pay them very well to betray the USA, and Bill of Rights.
I don't want to hear anything that SOB has to say. He should have the same fate as his lackey Morsi - except he should be strung up from a light pole like Mussolini. I hope we have a military coup and he's executed for treason - fucking criminal.
It does no good for the Republic to hang elected leaders. Better to get rid of them by other means. We don't need another Civil War, another Revolutionary War: brother fighting brother; widows, orphans.
Justice will be ours, by our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Happy Independence Day.
Obama Releases First Public Statement On Egypt: Who gives a Flying Fuck what Obama say's?
No one does. That's his problem, and his psychiatrist Valerie Jarrett, his handler, working for the Internationale.
O'bomba's first statement is much like Morsi's first response. Well, we'll see won't we what comes of O'bomba and his regime.
Happy Independence Day.
Keep your filthy paws off of Egypt you damned dirty ape!
I read the first paragraph and thinking it was a joke spit out my morning coffee, in laughter.
Does this smiling sociopath not realize how everyone knows he says one thing and does the opposite?
We are losing our ability to govern ourselves democratically .... and we hold our breath .... that there's a chance in Hell these pigs will suddenly become civilized .... they are tour guides .... to Pyramids .... someone else built .... how do you build an identity around that ? LOL
i hope one day i'll own a share of freedom, i imagine the broker will not volunteer said certificate. maybe i should have had a margin account
Obama is a Stooge.
To Obozo: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO INTERFERE WITH EGYPT?
So Barack, it's either heads or tails. Which do you choose?
Hmmm, well, er, let's wait until one of the faces has worn flat and then decide.
WHY....the hell is Eric Holder in there?
Barry: Hey, Eric, can I TELL them I believe in the rule of law???
Eric: Hehehe, good one boss. Ummm, sure. Every politician lies.
Barry: Hahah, yeah, I knew I had you in here for a good reason.
but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law.
Except when they do not like the result of the process or when the law restricts them.
0blahma issues his statement, Egypt and the world laugh.
The #1 rated comment on Huffington Post cover story of Egypt:
I didn’t know what a technoctat government was so I looked it up and onpaper it doesn’t sound bad at all, that is if the military can be trusted to keepit’s word. This is Egypt though where the military has been entrenched in power for too long so ...
“The technate is of course a government, since it by its nature governs. But it is different from all other governments in one vital characteristic - it is not established to govern over people. The subjects under technocracy are not human beings, but the continental infrastructure, and under it, the resources of the area in question.
Technate is a service, under control of human being. It does not own its production capacity, but administrates the production capacity which is divided into shares owned and used by the human beings living in the same area as the technate. The only thing which the technate needs in order to be operated is technical maintenance from the users, during a specific minimum of time.
The role of the human being in the technate would not be that of a wealthy landlord, a libertarian entrepreneur or a proud proletarian, but that of an enlightened creator, with full access to a share of production capacity exceeding his/her own individual ability to create. By this autonomy, he/she is given the right to define the meaning with his/her own life.
The technate could not impose any laws, taxes or bills.
Any legislative or democratic bodies would lie outside of the operative framework of the technate, and the latter will not be able to influence such agreements. The only foundation of the technate, is that no individual may infringe on any other's right to his/her share of usership of the continental production capacity.
Therefore, technocracy essentially does not need to motivate why the human being deserves to live in such a society, since it exists as a service initiated by human beings, rather than as an autocratic system aimed at transforming human social relations from above.

opposition to violence = Lie
protection of universal human rights = Damn Lie
reform that meets the legitimate aspirations of the people = Must be a statistic
Gives new meaning to the phrase "flapping your gums"... and saying nothing
"but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law"
Bullshit and everyone fucking knows it!
hmmm...not too many positive comments for the prompter-in-chief..the one here so far though have made my day. is there anyone out there who really does believe his sales-schtick anymore?
"... but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law.
If Obama respected rule of law, bankers would be in prison.
