As President Obama urges “calm,” American journalists are facing increased threats as rioters in Cairo become more and more aggressive. Oh, by the way, the State Department just “condemned” the violence. I guess that’s something, right?

Luckily for all Americans, the White House has stepped in and issued a statement. As noted in USA Today, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the targeting of reporters is “totally unacceptable.”
Gibbs went on to say, “The government of Egypt has to ensure that peaceful protests can take place.” Uh… guess what? They’re not. Now what happens? Oh, I forgot… Gibbs added, “We continue to call for restraint and not violence.”
Good thing he added that tidbit of leadership.
What do YOU suggest we do? Threaten to drop a bomb on them? Stop buying their oil?
As long as obama and gibbs continue to call for restraint, we got nothing to worry about. Just kiddin. With an international “joke” serving as pesident, not much we can or should do. These American reporters serve over there at their own risk in the mess they’ve helped create. They may reap the “whirlwind”
American journalists are no longer safe because America is perceived as weak, thanks to our apologetic president. Where we use to garner respect, we are now subjects of ridicule. A journalist, no matter how prominent s/he percieves to be, is now a fair target, especially if they are American.
The government should ensure that “peaceful” protests can happen? The looting and all that? And this should be enforced by the man that is supposed to step down NOW? Theoretically there’s some logic in there somewhere.
What asinine statements! Obama is doing something, he is lending support to the rioting, fomenting strife in Egypt in hopes that the Islamist or Marxist will come to power. To speak of “democracy” in such crap holes like Egypt is insane. The Mubarak government is about as good as they can have, and better than they deserve. With their religious and cultural foundations, the people do not have the capacity for any true form of self government. The call for “democracy” in such places is a call for Islamist or Marxist tyranny. Obama may not be the brightest, but he is not so stupid that he does not know what he is working for.
As we watch the movements of the Obama led government, is it possible that he regards the citizens of America as individuals who do not have the capacity for any true form of self government?
scotpond here is what we will do, we’ll send you over there and in all of your infinate wisdom you can talk them into being nice to each other.
You need to look at Michael Savage’s website and download his paper that tells how Obama as a patsy for George Soros, Zbigniew Brzezinski (who orchestrated the deposition of the Shah), Sandy Berger (who smuggled incriminating documents out of the White House for Clinton), and others who make up the “International Crisis Group” has actually orchestrated this entire disaster, which will in the end completely destabilize any pro-Western governments in the Middle East and replace them with radical Islamic governments run by the Muslim Brotherhood. The next stop is Europe and Britain, and then us. The paper is here: http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/files/filesSavage/Savage-ObamaGivingMiddleEastToIslamistRadicals-Rev03.pdf
A weak America yields a chaotic world – and Americans are no longer safe in it. As the president courts the muslim brotherhood, takes over the internet, passes bills the American people are against, and shuts down industries he doesn’t approve of, American are, more than ever, at the mercy of the world. In all elections, we most vote for a strong, free America. And we must vote against those who diminish us and our traditional values.
