President Obama addressed the United States' relationship with Egypt on Wednesday, indicating that the government's response to the attack on the American embassy in Cairo would be critical to that relationship."I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy," Obama said during an interview with Telemundo, a portion of which aired during MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show."
"They are a new government that's trying to find it's way," he added, acknowledging that the new regime was democratically elected.
Obama's remarks came after protesters angered by an anti-Muslim film mounted attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and the U.S. Consulate in Libya. Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in the attack in Libya.

TuringsChild 2012/09/13 11:13:29He defends Islam too easily+11An attack on an embassy IS an attack on this Nation. He's either defending Islamic terrorists or he's a coward who doesn't want to stand up for American lives.






















$1.5 BILLION US DOLLARS! HUH! OOOOPS IM SORRY, ITS MORE LIKE 2.0 BILLION $$$ ALL THE WHILE AMERICAN HOMES ARE REPO'D AND INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE JAILED AND EXECUTED BY HIS POLICE/ CIVILIAN ARMY !
SO THEY COULD KILL AND ATTACK OUR EMBASSY'S AND BUILD NUKE TO DESTROY AMERICA! HUMMMMM WHO SIDE IS OUR PRESIDENT ON ! ?
When these sand monkeys attacked our Embassies, they attacked the United States of American, when they killed Americans on American sovereign soil, they attacked the United States of American and as far as I'm concerned, we need to carpet bomb these inbreeds until they are begging for their lives, to which we should yell back at them NO Quarter you SOBs and finish them all off letting the buzzards have at em! http://images.sodahead.com/pr...

This tells the storyof why Bush looked so bad at the end of his term.
Don’t just skim over this. It’s not very long. Read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22, 2009. It was actually January 3,2007. The Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush's fault,” think about this:
January 3rd, 2007, was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007, was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Congress added to t...

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Congress added to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 –because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA!
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress.
So when someone tries to blame Bush,
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I approved expanding that deficit four-fold since January 20, 2009.
Arab attack...
We can look to Iraq and the many mistakes made there in trying to set up a democratic government without understanding the mind set. Rumsfeld prompty fired everyone in the Baath Party, there went teachers, policemen, doctors, etc. Instant turmoil occurred. We shocked and awed Iraqis... no doubt about it. It was a train wreck in motion , day afer day.
So is Egypt an ally? Hard to tell. Last week Mursi stood in Tehran and said Egypt stood
" in solidarity" with Syria , a refuge for AlQueda. Doesn't sound much like an ally at this time.
