Too much to hope for but I’ll say it anyway: “Perhaps there is hope for the place after all.”

Obama has grabbed unconstitutional power repeatedly, and the American people did what?

The American people are still too wealthy to rise up to defend their freedom. I.e., they still think they have too much to lose by resisting the government.

Sounds like the same kind of thing where they try and make it look like Iran’s mullahcracy is about to be overthrown by its “people”.

Sadly, very true.

For the sake of the people, Obama is going to demand Marsi step down today.

Or any day now.

What ubango is offering up to the American people is all talk so far, as things begin to change and people feel the effects more and more will rebel and those who do will be the very own people at the bottom rung of society who will feel the effects first. So he will have to maintain his propaganda machine in full force and his handouts to keep his army going or they will eat him

No. Bearded savages do what they always do: destroy, yell, threaten and attack.

I wonder if Hillary told Morsi that the United States would back him if he declared himself DICTATOR in exchange for convincing Hamas to truce in Gaza. Hmmmm..
