WASHINGTON -- President Obama skipped dessert at a long summit meeting dinner in Cambodia on Monday to rush back to his hotel suite. It was after 11:30 p.m., and his mind was on rockets in Gaza rather than Asian diplomacy. He picked up the telephone to call the Egyptian leader who is the new wild card in his Middle East calculations. Over the course of the next 25 minutes, he and President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt hashed through ways to end the latest eruption of violence, a conversation that would lead Mr. Obama to send Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the region. As he and Mr. Morsi talked, Mr. Obama felt they were making a connection. Three hours later, at 2:30 in the morning, they talked again.
The cease-fire brokered between Israel and Hamas on Wednesday was the official unveiling of this unlikely new geopolitical partnership, one with bracing potential if not a fair measure of risk for both men. After a rocky start to their relationship, Mr. Obama has decided to invest heavily in the leader whose election caused concern because of his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, seeing in him an intermediary who might help make progress in the Middle East beyond the current crisis in Gaza.

It looks like Obama has the “flexibility” to come out of the closet in support of the Islamisits
He opened up the American taxpayer’s checkbook and both the Egyptians and the Palestinians will reap hundreds of millions that will be created from paper and ink.

There is no “risk” for these two men the risk is
for Israel and the US.
Damn these two men and that bitch too.
Gee, what a surprise.
When owebama and morshi are along behind closed doors which one plays Mussolini and which one Hitler?
Israel better polish their nukes.
If the kenyan and the Egyptian have a deal it is to make an end of Israel. Perhaps our own Moslem president thinks he can do what no president has been able to do in half a century, end the Mideast Conflict.
It just keeps getting better and better. Not.
Yeah but Mitt would have snuggled up with the moslem scum too ya know.
That’s why it was best to stay home and be principled.
“Thats why it was best to stay home and be principled.”
Like the fool who stepped off the curb without looking when the light changed. He was “dead right”.
