Obama on Egypt - Egypt Crisis 3

The White House: The Deputy Press Secretary has released the following statement, " The United States strongly condemns the use of violence against protesters in Egypt. We extend our condolences to the families of those who have been killed, and to the injured. We have repeatedly called on the Egyptian military and security forces to show restraint, and for the government to respect the universal rights of its citizens, just as we have urged protesters to demonstrate peacefully. Violence will only make it more difficult to move Egypt forward on a path to lasting stability and democracy, and runs directly counter to the pledges by the interim government to pursue reconciliation. We also strongly oppose a return to a State of Emergency law, and call on the government to respect basic human rights such as freedom of peaceful assembly, and due process under the law. The world is watching what is happening in Cairo. We urge the government of Egypt - and all parties in Egypt - to refrain from violence and resolve their differences peacefully. ".

Lets Get Real: 

If the Oval was so concerned how about getting off the golf course, might have missed that, or cutting funding to the Army of Egypt, or sending Secretary Kerry over, he has been to Middle East enough this year, the Deputy Press Secretary, WHO? The Oval has to lead some of the time, golf is a great game, but not that important, the African and the Middle East is falling apart while Obama puts his golf ball.
