Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's decree exempting all his decisions from legal challenge until a new parliament was elected caused fury amongst his opponents on Friday who accused him of being the new Hosni Mubarak and hijacking the revolution.

I don't give a crap about Egypt.
The thing I care about is that the same thing could happen here. The theoretical "check" and "balance" has been retired in this country.
Beans, bullets and bandaids. Lock and load.
Another 0bama diplomacy accomplishment. /s
Well, you are right.
The problem in America is that we are pretty comfortable. Some of us have jobs and those of us who don’t are living just fine off the entitlements.
Sure Obama is stealing power, but so far it hasn’t effected us much. The real evil of Obamacare and Obama hasn’t come to light yet.
Also some Americans trust the Congress to act. LMAO at that one. What a useless bunch of political scum are in Congress.
Wait until our hyp[er-inflation kicks in then the SWHTF
If course it will happen here.
And it will be FAR worse.
For the sake of the people, Obama is going to demand Marsi step down today.
Obama is playing golf , he had some unknown say a few words
Probably so. They had some conversations over the last few days over Israel. My guess is that they talked about this matter and Obama gave him the green light. I have always believed Obama to be an instigator/ organizer of the Arab Spring.
Eh.. just another power struggle
Here’s a report from SkyNews with video...

I’m waiting with baited breath to see which side “dear leader” will come down on. Will the sucking media even bother to ask him?
It probably wouldn’t have made any difference either whether
this happened a month before the election=== the Obama Administration muddied up the facts about Benghazi, and are still doing so, suffering no apparent hits to its culpability or credibility-—this new power grab by Morsi would’ve probably had LESS effect than Benghazi on Zero’s re-election chances. So Egypt and Benghazi are just two small chapters in the ongoing
Black Book that we’ll be reading for the next four years.
“It’s still too early to tell” whether this is a “tragedy”,
as they’re fond of saying.
Will the sucking media even bother to ask him?
When Hell freezes...
Exactly what I was going to say: the people now rebelling against Morsi may largely be the same non-radical Islamist “constituency” that rebelled against Mubarak, the hopeful faces
that made even the cynical among us want to believe an “Arab Spring” was happening.Job One for the Obama Administration is going to be learning how to do a new tightrope walk between Morsi and his designs and this new transmogrified Arab Spring
group. He may have lots of “’splainin’” to do.
When did I call anyone a coward?
your post number 5 pretty much call us comfortable cowards - but I may have been misled by you directness.
Agreed.
But this seems to prove that Middle East democracy tends toward the “one man, one vote, one time” model even under Muslim extremists.
Wonder if he’ll follow up on the threat to bomb the Pyramids and Sphinx.
