We’re witnessing Green Revolution 2. Mubarak had to go because he was a dictator and there were protests. And now?
This is an excellent analysis!

O exhalted sultan, you are a lot more hopeful than I am. I.e. that the left’s reign will be a short one.
This was a very interesting observation and I think it is perhaps one of the most accurate descriptions of these two and their ilk. One of the reasons that Obama doesn't act as if he cares about America is that he doesn't - he's not an American, not only because he probably wasn't born here and certainly wasn't brought up here (as he himself acknowledges), but because he really doesn't see his allegiance as to his country but instead as to his program.
That said, in both cases there is also the sheer, raw personal desire for power. So while people like Hitler, Stalin, Morsi, and Obama may on the one hand be ideology driven, on the other, they really think they are something special individually and that they somehow deserve to be in power and crush anyone, even in their ideological group, who does not worship them.
And now, Morsi (0bama's man), does this to protestors ... Army Ultimatum: Get off the streets ...
Actually,there’s one big difference.Morsi has a less compliant media!
Obama is also working steadily toward the day when he can rewrite the US constitution and eliminate the Congress as a real third branch of government here, as well. The GOP are a bunch of kindergarten school cops and either don't understand what they are up against or are collaborators.
But to me the big question is how did this happen?
Most replies to that are off the mark.
I see the answer hidden somewhere in the following:
We have obumbler, a pot smoking coke sniffing slacker in college who then becomes a “community organizer”, polite term for rabblerouser, ending up as president.
Now forget the speeches, the flawless use of the teleprompter, the voting dead, etc., and ask yourself:
Who is the master strategist behind all of this? Who is the master chess player who has figured out all of the proper moves, years in advance, that causes all of the right openings for this very ordinary street punk at the right time?
Look at how Libya and Egypt have turned out and now Syria.
Jordan will probably be next.
The way obumblercare came to be was very carefully worked out ahead of time and done so by a very clever person or persons.
This is not the work of a street punk. It is the work of a master chess player.
Who?
The big difference is that the Egyptians are out demonstrating to remove Morsi to save their freedom; in the US, the only demonstrations you would see is if Hussein were removed. We've grown far too soft!
No one person. A team.
Obama and Morsi: the destructive dual dictators.
Morsi writes his own Constitution, Obama ignores our Constitution.
Which of the two dictators will achieve ABSOLUTE POWER first?
Since Obama has boot-licker Boehner groveling to ‘just make a deal, ANY deal,’ on the Obama Spending Cliff, I guessing that ol’ Benghazi-Coward Obama has the advantage.
I used to laugh at conspiracy theorists. Now I think the laugh is on me.
I remember - can’t forget actually, when zero was a junior senator in his first year, and for some reason was FNC’s guy to go to for the ‘rat talking points - and he’d get an intro as an ‘up and comer’. Frequently.
I was like, “Huh? WTF is going on? Why is even Fox promoting this loser?” And then the “why” became, like you, the “who”. And still is.
The Brotherhood is in the process of achieving totalitarian control of Egypt.
Keep in mind that the Muslim Brotherhood has been guided from its very beginning -- SINCE 1928 -- by the goal of a Caliphate that seeks unity in obedience to its Supreme Guide.
The Muslim Brothers will do in Egypt exactly what the "Muslim Devotees" did in Iran: establish an islamic Republic.
That goal of totalitarian control by way of the Caliphate was expressed by the Brotherhood's founder, Hassan al Banna, in a famous formula:
The genius of al-Banna has been his method, how carefully he organized the secret Society of the Muslim Brothers into various sub-groups, and the discipline exercised by the Supreme Guide and its Bureau of Guidance.
Gamal al-Banna, the younger brother of the Muslim Brotherhood's founder
Its disciplined, hierarchical organization enabled the Brotherhood to pursue the Caliphate productively through many years, including extended periods when it was subject to oppression.
Now the Brotherhood has infiltrated every relevant institutions of Egypt: not only the army, the police and the media, but also colleges, coffehouses, powerful families, etc.
See Leadership and Allegiance in the Society of the Muslim, Brothers by Lella Landau-Tasseron, for more details on the secret organization of the Brotherhood
The mission of the Caliphate and the extraordinary organization of the Brotherhood were derived from the "prophet" muhammad, his companions and a few subsequent caliphs. Following this model, al-Banna had his organization adhered to the guidance of Umar, the second caliph, who had said "there is no islam without a Society of Brothers, no Society without an Imam, and no Imam without complete obedience."
Umar went on to become the organizer of the greatest of the early islamic conquests, and of a Caliphate that had endured for a 1000 years...
Al-Banna followed that model when he crafted the Muslim Brotherhood. So Egypt will turn out exactly like Iran.
I don't say the Brotherhood will stay 1000 years in power, but it will stay much longer than most people seem to think.
Missed the most important difference. Americans are born and raised FREE AND ARMED!
“.....he’s not an American, not only because he probably wasn’t born here and certainly wasn’t brought up here (as he himself acknowledges), but because he really doesn’t see his allegiance as to his country but instead as to his program.”
Which brings to mind even if he was in fact born in Hawaii it is a far cry from mainland America. Hawaii is a land as foreign to America as most other foreign lands, and the fact that he admittedly spent so much of his youth outside of America as well it’s very understandable that he doesn’t know what being an American really is.
This guy is so wrong for this country. IF he is an American, he isn’t.
