There comes a time when you have to cut your ties with those dictators when they overstep certain bounds. The Egyptian people had enough of Mubarak and so they (with the help of the military) threw him out, Obama's best choice would have been to shut the hell up and allow them to do what they wanted to do and not throw support behind a different dictator.

The main Egyptian Allies the United States have are in the Military and they haven't gone anywhere. And why would they we give them planes and tanks and lord knows how much money. The Military run Egypt, they'll say who stays and who goes...the people of Egypt apparently don't understand that but whatever

Point is Obama lacks finesse with these situations and he clumsily said "yeah, Morsi is a great dude, let's give him legitimacy"....SHHHHHH Obama SHHHHHH just shut the fuck up. Say nothing about Morsi, let the Egyptians run Egypt...or allow them to think they do.
