The next 'Elected' President may want to take heed.

Yeah, I hope Egypt's next democratically elected president decides on a more inclusive government. Apparently a lot of Egyptians didn't feel very represented by the Muslim Brotherhood, even tho most Egyptians are Muslim.

From what I could see the MB didn't really change anything from what they had before Mubarak, except the nameplates on the office doors.

This story has a lot of interesting twists, not the least of which is watching the RWWJ's working hard to find a way to blame this all on Obama.

Under Obama, Egyptians’ views of U.S. worse than under George W. Bush presidency.

Under Obama, Egyptians’ views of U.S. worse than under George W. Bush presidency

By Richard Wike

Today marks four years since a newly elected President Barack Obama spoke to a packed, enthusiastic audience of students at Cairo University, calling for “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world.” The June 4, 2009 speech was the new administration’s most high-profile effort to revive the image of the United States in Egypt and other predominantly Muslim nations, following the rise of anti-Americanism during the George W. Bush era. Four years later, much has changed in Egypt, but anti-Americanism persists.

Roughly eight-in-ten Egyptians (81%) expressed an unfavorable opinion of the U.S. in a poll conducted this March by the Pew Research Center. Today, the U.S. gets even more negative ratings in Egypt than it did throughout much of the Bush presidency.

Over the last few years, polls have found a familiar list of Egyptian concerns about the United States. American anti-terrorism efforts are unpopular among Egyptians. Most think the U.S. ignores the interests of other countries. And few believe Obama has been fair in dealing with the Israelis and Palestinians. Even American aid is viewed with suspicion – majorities say U.S. military and economic assistance is having a negative impact on Egypt.

obama-egyptAt the start of his presidency, Obama received significantly more positive ratings than his predecessor. In 2009, Egyptians were almost evenly divided between those who expressed confidence that Obama would “do the right thing” in world affairs (42%) and those who lacked confidence in the new American president (47%).

But Obama’s ratings have steadily declined, and today, only 26% of Egyptians express confidence in him, while 72% have little or no confidence.

In what may seem a paradox to some, the negative ratings for Obama, and for the U.S. overall, have continued and even worsened during a period in which Egyptians have actively embraced a number of freedoms and institutions central to American-style democracy. Egyptians may be dissatisfied with the way their new democracy is working, but most continue to want free speech, a free press, and competitive multi-party elections.

However, the toppling of a dictator and the advent of democracy in Egypt has not boosted America’s image there. And looking ahead, few see improving relations with the U.S. as a priority. About seven-in-ten (69%) say it is not important for Egypt to have a good relationship with the U.S.

“No single speech,” Obama noted in his Cairo address, “can eradicate years of mistrust.” The ensuing four years would show just how deep that mistrust runs, and just how steep a climb the U.S. faces in turning around its image in Egypt and many other parts of the Muslim world.

It's amazing how Obama is so powerful that he could persuade 60% of those who voted in the Egyptian election to vote for the Muslim Brotherhood candidate.

You guys are clowns...look around on the InterWebz and you'll find those exact same pics with various other made up slogans on the signs, too.

From any other Bozo your comment would be meaningless, however coming from you I consider it a high end compliment.

I don't need to read that from you...that's been the story for over a year now.

What I also don't need from you, or anyone else, is somehow making that Obama's fault.

Anyone carrying a sign to that effect is an idiot, and anyone reposting pictures of those signs proves that they, too, are fuckin idiots.

Congratulations.

If Egyptians want someone to blame for the "fascist dictator" they just ousted, they should blame themselves...they're the ones who voted him in, not Obama.

How is it possibly Obama's fault, Hank?

Fish on...

Todd

same reason that the "wars" are Bush's fault according to some...

politics screw everything up for everyone...

Ah, you put up all the anti-Obama signs because it's not Obama's fault.

And you wonder why you and the rest of you right wing clowns look so foolish all the time.

Todd

If by "supporting him" you mean letting Egypt have their own election and elect whoever the fukk they want...aka "Democracy"...then yes, I guess he supported him.

How about you tell me how it's Obama's fault, how he "supports the MB", and how he could have fixed this, in advance.

Fish on...

Todd

I liked the word "fumblefuck".
A continuous presidential fumblefuck.
tiresome......and expensive.

Dood...the US has been giving all that schit to Egypt for decades...nothing changed...and some of the folks we gave it to in the past were worse than what Egypt has had the last two years.

Point me at the times in the past where you were decrying either Bush sending billions in aid to Egypt while Mubarak, the one they ousted first, was there.

(Don't bother, there aren't any...they were "important strategic partners" when Republicans are in office while the aid goes, and it's "Obama supports terrorists!" when the exact same thing happens now...and yes, that makes you a clown.)

What do you think is goin' on?

Todd & Hank?

Some of the oil producers around Egypt have already given Egypt billions since the ouster of Morsi.
