WASHINGTON - The United States would be "satisfied" if fair parliamentary elections in Egypt produced a Muslim Brotherhood victory, President Barack Obama's pointman for democratic transitions in the Middle East said Friday.
"I think the answer is yes, I think we will be satisfied, if it is a free and fair election," the newly appointed special co-ordinator for Middle East transitions, William Taylor, said when asked about what the U.S. reaction would be if the Islamist party comes out ahead in elections starting this month.
"What we need to do is judge people and parties and movements on what they do, not what they're called," Taylor told a forum at the Atlantic Council, a Washington think-tank.
In June Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Washington had been in "limited contacts" with the Muslim Brotherhood as part of an effort to adjust to Egypt's political upheaval.

Chaos
What could possibly go wrong...
as clear and free elections as was held in the Senate election that sent Franken to the Senate?
well, then. carry on..
” - - - Taylor told a forum at the Atlantic Council, a Washington think-tank.”
Hey William Taylor, and the rest of you in your Beltway “think” - tank. Go back to when JFK tried to determine the winners of the elections in Vietnam. That reminds me a lot of your “satisfaction” ideas about Egypt elections.
BTW, in the next one of your hokey wars, the senior advisors and all politicians will be the initial, front-line, shock troops.
Your Obamasquatters in Obamavilles will send care packages and appropriate supplies to win over the enemies that you have chosen to convert to your way of thinking.
In other words, if you go to war in Egypt, YOU will be living in De-Nile.
If a Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Egyptian govt decided to restrict US access to the Suez Canal, I wonder how we’d feel about it then?
He loves that religion.The only dog he likes better is the Rev Wrong preaching hate America. Obozzo is preaching that hate America now,too. Hell, he loves the guy who dropped his trousers and took a dumps on us.
Would someone like to explain to me again, how Obama doesn’t hate this country, he’s just inept....?
“Inept” could not form a more perfect destruction.
So he is saying the PROCESS is more important than the RESULT? Or, in other words, “they meant well.” It would be nice if we had leaders who cared about the national interest of the US. Instead, we lost an ally in a very important country. Good work Obama.
Obama has supported the Islamic Jihadists at every turn during the so-called "Arab Spring."
That movement is directed at increasing fundamental Islamic governments in North Africa and the Mid East. It is aimed, IMHO, at encircling and ultimately bringing down Israel and making way for some kind of Islamic Caliphate.
How special indeed. It wouldn’t surprise me if “Sheik Hussein O” is elected as the next Caliph.
I suspect Hussein has more than a few already installed in key positions in the US.
Where did O’Bumbles give his FIRST public address as President and to whom? IN America?
IN Cairo - to the Muslim Brotherhood - praising Islam = and he sure has the accent down perfect. He is the product, as are we all, of his upbringing. He has no loyalty or love of - our country.
‘”What we need to do is judge people and parties and movements on what they do, not what they’re called’
Wait? Does he think people have a problem with the name and not what they do?
Why not? They are OK with Hamas in Gaza.
What a load of Cr@p. Who would of ever thought we would have a President who would welcome the Brotherhood like this.
Maybe he will send them an invitation to the WH.
No insanity, in the name of peace. “War has been unable to bring a lasting peace in our time” Barack Hussein Obama. “In that day they will cry peace, peace, peace, but there will be none”..Yeshua Messiah ...better know as Jesus Christ.
