War in the middle east 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.

    An 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.

    They are Enemies. You can't and we never have been able to buy friends of allies. Its not a growing democracy. Like most of the other Islamic countries they don't know what democracy is, or how to achieve it. All they know is Religious hate, taught to them from childhood, unto death. No sane human being straps a bomb to their children, let along use their religion to justify out right killing.

    I'll play political poker here. If they are our friends then they won't mind us planting a platoon of soldiers to defend our embassy. With the understanding we will defend it.

    Well it's like this, as the Mulatto Princess of these here United States of America has said time and again, they are his Muslim Brotherhood, one can safely assume that a donkey raping Muslim President would naturally support other donkey raping Muslims around the world, especially of Arab ethnicity. caring little about the consequences of his decisions suffering American citizens both here and abroad. We have since his being sworn in payed out over 200 billion dollars with multi billions being promised to come to terrorist and helped them over throw democracies only to be handed over to the Muslim Brotherhood...
    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...

    DO YOU REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007? This can be a real eye opener.



    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 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.

    I have been saying that for as long as I can remember. The Dems controlled congress the last two years of President Bush's final term. Dodd screwed up so bad that he didn't run for re-election here in CT, he knew he wouldn't win. The real unemployment figures right now are in double digits. Tose who are unemployed and no longer eligible for unemployment benefits, those who have given up looking for work are not counted in the unemployment figures. Of course if you die, you are counted as being employed.

    Obama is a fool who knows nothing about foreign policy. He has been trying to “Fundamental Transform America” into a Socialist Nation ever since he started campaigning in 2007. What I find terrifying is that so many people do not understand what he really is doing. Now with the 2012 election coming up I am afraid that too many people still have not opened their eyes to what he is doing. This election will decided whether America lives or dies.

    For thousands of years, these countries have only known how to live and behave under a dictator. Just because they had a democratic election does not ensure a democratic frame of mind. They are fledgling democracies with many malcontents... some far more extreme than others. We cannot and should not attempt to police that area of the world. We have our hands full with Afghanistan and Iraq still is problematic. What we can do is double down on protecting our embassies and those who work there.

    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.
