LIVE UPDATE: President Sisi attends ceremony in New Administrative Capital to inaugurate Egypt's largest church and mosque
So, Obama didn’t show up to join the milestone event?
I’m shocked./s
Should suprise no one that Zero did not attend.
He would have asked for them to remove the cross first.
In case anyone wonders where Egypt’s New Administrative Capital is located - it is east of Cairo and the entire site will cover over 78,000 hectares when completed.
Where is ours?
You know, that might be an excellent plan.
Build an entire new “Administrative” site and Close the entire Swamp.
Of course largely downsize it in the process.
What an idea!
I hope the moment captured in that photo haunts him daily for the rest of his life.
I will be remembering what he did to this great nation for 8 years and was not punished for any of his real crimes.
Note:
A good friend of mine in Cairo sent me that link this morning. We were friends back in days before and after Morsi’s removal. Remember, Obama was instrumental in helping Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood come to power in Egypt. It was a stolen election, like ComDems engineer here in the US.
A year after Morsi came to power the public was out in the streets demanding his removal. Many hundreds of thousands in several Egyptian cities. Sisi was ordered to fire on the demonstrators, but General Sisi refused and Morsi was jailed along with a thousand Muslim Brotherhood leaders. Most are still in jail.
Good ending to a very bad situation that Obozo helped put in place.
Its interesting to note that Obama, Clinton, Brennan and much of the Washington deep state, supported Sisi’s enemies, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Of course they would. The dems are controlled by islamists and facilitators. And they have a lot of RINO company.
Yes. They were part of the dark side too.
Do you remember the posters in Cairo during this time with Hillary and US Ambassador (Ms) Patterson being condemned for placing Morsi in power and Egypt in slavery?
And articles like this one?
“Hillary Clinton Blesses the Brotherhood”

Absolutely Correct.
The new American Administrative Center - the New Capital, should be built as near to the center of the country as possible and be surrounded by National Forests/Parks/ - Yellowstone would be the best choice because, when it blows, the politicians would be the first to go.

Thank you.
The Mulatto Menace sees everything he worked for being reduced to dust.
If Obama wants to see what real leadership looks like he can Google Bolsonaro, Orban and El Sisi among others since he hates our President Trump so much.
Making Egypt Great Again.
Making Egypt Great Again.
I believe that President Trump and Egyptian President Sisi are doing exactly that. Egypt has made some bold steps under Sisi, He was one of the first foreign leaders who reached out to President Trump. They have a good relationship.
My Egyptian friends remember that I was on board before Obama helped put Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in power. And that I was criticizing Obama and his minions for that long before Morsi was overthrown.
I have always supported freedom lovers. President Sisi is an unapologetic Egyptian. He is proud of his heritage. Many of his early supporters were supporters of Sadat. A brave man who the Muslim Brotherhood assissinated.
I hope that isn't a standard practice. Light doesn't fellowship with darkness.
