| Egypt now fears Obama a 'Manchurian President' |
| 2011-02-04 |
| Top members of the Egyptian government say they feel betrayed by President Obama, charging that he is acting against American interests. "Mubarak's regime feels Obama is pushing the advancement of the Muslim Brotherhood against U.S. interests," said WND's Jerusalem bureau chief and senior reporter Aaron Klein. "They are genuinely trying to understand why Obama is seemingly championing the anti-regime protests." Klein said that a top Egyptian diplomat with whom he has developed a rapport over the last few years asked him earlier this week to explain Obama's motivation to support the opposition to Mubarak. According to a senior Egyptian diplomat speaking to WND, a former U.S. ambassador to Egypt, Frank Wisner, specifically told Mubarak on Tuesday the U.S. would not continue to support his rule and he must step down. Hours later, Mubarak announced he would not seek another term in office. The Obama administration dispatched Wisner to Egypt last weekend to report to the State Department and White House a general sense of the situation in the country. WND broke the story yesterday that the Egyptian government has information Wisner secretly met earlier this week with a senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Issam El-Erian. |

| #5 Not to mention the fact that he believes that there is no higher power than himself in the universe. (Except perhaps Michelle on one of those days....) |

| #4 President Obama is no Muslim, I think. Muslims, after all, must firmly believe that a higher power rules the world, and can at any moment, for reasons inconceivable to us mere men, interfere to help or harm any one of us. Christians do, too, although they add that God lives by laws which we can figure out. I see no sign that President Obama is anything but a materialist, as were his card-carrying Communist grandparents. |

| #3 Mubarak is a lessor evil than the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama IS a Muslim, bro. |
