For Immediate Release September 13, 2012 Readout of the President’s Call with Egyptian President Morsi

The President called Egyptian President Morsi today to review the strategic partnership between the United States and Egypt, and our ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral economic and security cooperation. Given recent events, and consistent with our interest in a relationship based on mutual interests and mutual respect, President Obama underscored the importance of Egypt following through on its commitment to cooperate with the United States in securing U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel. The President said that he rejects efforts to denigrate Islam, but underscored that there is never any justification for violence against innocents and acts that endanger American personnel and facilities. President Morsi expressed his condolences for the tragic loss of American life in Libya and emphasized that Egypt would honor its obligation to ensure the safety of American personnel.

Barky to Morsi:
Mo tea ?

Someone needs to explain to these jerks that a US President has no power over what a citizen says. If a citizen insults 200 million Muslims it’s beyond his pay grade to do anything about it.

I know it’s inconcievable to these people but in the US the people are the boss and a President is their servant.

Come to think of it, someone needs to explain that to Barry too.

Hey you impertinent sheep-biting serpents-egg, it hardly takes effort of any kind to denigrate islam. All I have to do is look up the insults.

muhammed is a rancorous ill-bred foul deformity and currish hedge-born lewdster.

I look for an Executive Order to come out soon.

It will make it illegal to bad-mouth Islam.

Calling Catholics Mackeral Snappers will be ok.

Here's what I want my President to say:

United States Citizens are no one’s dhimmis. If a US citizen says something that offends even all 300 million Muslims that is unfortunate but it is their RIGHT as a US citizen to do so.

You are free to complain and demonstrate all you like. But if you harm a US citizen, or act in a way that is detrimental to US interests, expect the full weight of US power to desend upon your heads.

Have a nice day.
