Obama Warns Against Arrests of Morsi and Brotherhood Members
July 3, 2013
By Daniel Greenfield
The Obama definition of 'democracy' is inconsistent to say the least.
Before, when the people were protesting Mubarek, Obama quickly decided Mubarek,
a duly elected president, had to go. Nor did Obama balk when Mubarek
was brought to trial for alleged misdeeds.
Yet now that Morsi has been elected to replace Mubarek, Obama is acting
indignant, insisting that no duly elected president should be deposed or
arrested and is threatening to withdraw support for a new government. Yet,
Morsi's misdeeds are in some ways more grievous than Mubarek's. For instance,
the latter had given the Copts a place in the government. Mubarek kicked them
out of government and sat back as thugs started to decimate their population,
either by killing them or banishing them and burning their churches.
Despite Obama's acquiescence to the arrest of Mubarek, he now suggests an
elected president should not be arrested for misdeeds.
Clearly, Obama's definition of democracy is all about Obama and his
ideology, according to which Muslims are the only legitimate leaders in the
Middle East.
Well, it looks like the Egyptians have spoken, and they don't agree. But of
course, when the people speak as they have now spoken, that is undemocratic to
our White House resident's way of thinking. If you can call it thinking.
