'"While we want to sustain our relationship with Egypt, our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back," he said."

No word on whether Obama has told Bahrain, "our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back."
A delivery of F-16s to Egypt was delayed, but there is no word that our government's payment to the defense contractor that built those jets for Egypt was delayed.
Obushma...the clown just keeps on keeping on.

Sounds like Obama is having a little buyer's remorse.

"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." - BH Obama, Sept. 25, 2012

"The Egyptian army seems to have regained control over areas of Cairo where Muslim Brotherhood members had been protesting.
In retaliation for the army’s actions, Morsi supporters have launched attacks against Christians and Christian buildings across Egypt. Pro-Morsi elements had been steadily escalating violence against Copts for weeks. Today’s attacks, however, crisscrossed Egypt:
Muslim Brotherhood supporters have torched churches in Egypt in response to a violent army crackdown on pro-Morsi camps that left dozens dead, AFP cited Egyptian media reports on Wednesday. According to the reports, protesters threw firebombs as the Mar Gergiss church in Sohag, a city with a strong Coptic Christians community.
Attackers today set fire to a Christian youth center in Fayoum. They also reportedly destroyed a 4th century church, one of the oldest in Egypt. Scores of other churches and Copt homes were attacked."
Of course Obama would come out against the sectarian government for attacking Muslim's who are violent...

$1.5 BILLION in "aid" to Egypt.
"But where are the American dollars going? NPR's Julia Simon looked at that issue earlier this month. The military aid Congress annually appropriates for Egypt, she says, "goes to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, then to a trust fund at the Treasury and, finally, out to U.S. military contractors that make the tanks and fighter jets that ultimately get sent to Egypt."
Even if Egypt can't use all the tanks and planes we supply it, the U.S. wants Cairo to have them, for the sake of companies like Baron Industries, which works on M1A1 Abrams tank parts destined for Egypt. "The aid that we give to Egypt is coming back to the U.S. and keeping 30 of my people working," company president Bruce Baron told Simon.
The Egyptian aid has also become a political football on Capitol Hill as calls to cut it off entirely increase. "While President Obama 'condemns the violence in Egypt,' his administration continues to send billions of taxpayer dollars to help pay for it.," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Thursday."

Uh...hello Rand Paul. The money never goes to Egypt. It goes directly to our military contractors...and it doesn't even matter whether Egypt needs an F-16 or not. We're not building F-16s for Egypt, we're building them for defense companies.
OBUSHMA.

Did he "strenuously condemn" Egyptian violence? All I can think of is this scene:

I'm not sure I could muster up a decent argument...
Many of the appointees have been (beyond) ridiculously bad
His military policy (for lack of a better way to say it) has been Bush part II
Really Sad...

So, does this delay our hard earned tax money going to them? Naw... Business as usual. We condemn you actions, so here's a few billion dollars.
