Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood party, won the election in Egypt. President Obama called to congratulate Morsi and said the US will stand by Morsi during its transition. The transition may not go smoothly as the Egyptian military tries to hold onto power defiant of the Islamic extremists who now control the government.
"We look forward to working together with President-elect Morsi and the government he forms, on the basis of mutual respect, to advance the many shared interests between Egypt and the United States," press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.

That man was voted into power by HIS people. and OUR president wants to help stabilize the region by possibly working with the new President of Egypt.
what exactly is wrong with that?
He extended gun rights to national parks
he increased military aid to Israel.
he set cash for clunkers which was a big success to help americans get into more fuel efficient cars.
shall I go on?
what does extending gun laws have to do with Fast and Furious?
what does aiding Israels military have to do with Hamas humanitarian aid (odd that you didnt mention that is what the aid was for)
cash fro clunkers got polluting cars that burned up a lot of fuel off the streets. it helped revitalize the auto industries. and it did nothing to prevent low income people from buying cheap cars like you claim. (FYI the cars were not crushed, the engines were seized up but the parts were sold and used to rebuild/parts for vehicles) the cash for clunkers was not made to directly benifit anyone below the poverty level now was it?
I gave you a list of things he has done to benifit Americans
heres a few more.
repealed dont ask dont tell so that brave servicemen and women do not have to hide their relationships without fear of being kicked out.
kept tax cuts for Americans.
extended unemployment benifits
attempting to reduce WMD's all over the world.
you lost YOUR job so you think we should be bitter? maybe you should have chosen a better career
but then again, perhaps you are not an American
and to answer your question, being diplomatic with the leaders of the world is a GOOD thing. It leaves options open to them helping us by not accepting terrorist groups and destroying them.
when we have better relations with the countries where the terrorist we are fighting have the religious majority to try to hide and recieve aid, It make the job of our intellegence agencies a hell of a lot easier.
Sow me one example of 0bama's ''talk nice to our enemies'' has resulted in any sort of break thru, or improvement for that matter.
''It leaves options open to them helping us by not accepting terrorist groups and destroying them.'' 0bama just endorsed a terrorist sympathizer!
''when we have better relations with the countries where the terrorist we are .......''
So how did that work out with Pakistan hiding Bin Laden, yards away from a major Pakistani army installation?
Just as the Rupublican party is backed by Christians,being in a majority Christian nation,the Egyptians voted for a Muslim backed party.There should be no surprise to that happening.
On top of that, the US has a pretty strong record of helping suppress and oppress the Egyptian people by propping up Mubarak for so long, so they really dont have a choice...
Politics and principal they make such a fine recipe not so.
Sleep with serpents and you get bitten go figure.
No I don't approve or trust them a bit, but what does that matter it is "Politics".
Who Bush sold a multi Billion advanced weapons package to?
How is this different?
You should start arse kicking the KING of the Saudis. No one even elected him did they?
Notice there is no Queen of the Saudis.
