Obama Lectures Egypt On “Free And Fair Elections”?? (& Open Thread) »

Is he for real? It isn’t enough that he is insisting upon the overthrow of Egypt’s leader, but oh-my-gosh, where does HE come off lecturing ANYONE about how they should “listen to their people” (Um, hello? Obamacare?), and what kinds of elections they should have. Don’t take my word for it – here’s the man [...]

This Is What Sharia Law Looks Like »

I admit – I am procrastinating writing this story because it makes me want to throw up. It is disturbing to say the least, and I must thank SeriouslySickofObama, a faithful No Quarter reader, for making sure I saw it. It is not for the faint of heart. And no, I am not referring to [...]

Questions About Obama and The Muslim Brotherhood Lead To More Questions **UPDATED** »

UPDATE: Protesters called for huge numbers today for Friday prayers in an effort to oust Mubarrak. Once again, the numbers are below 250,000 (“tens of thousands”), just as they were for the “Million Man March” the other day. The Cairo Metropolitan area has over 22 MILLION people, and Egypt 85 MILLION people. Again, I have [...]

“Why Does He Pop Up On Television After The President Of Egypt Speaks?” »

So queried Charles Krauthammer after Obama’s short appearance last night following his half hour phone call with President Mubarak. I had the same question. Why? I’ll get to more of Obama’s speech, and the response of Krauthammer to it, but I have another question first. Perhaps someone can answer this for me. Here’s the thing. [...]

Tina Brown, Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Beast, in her article Obama’s Other Wife, postulates that Hillary is a “brilliant policy wonk,” caring more about the “substance of work than the trappings,” yet the very title of her piece is insulting, indicating Secretary Clinton has completely sublimated herself to the President. At the same time, she [...]

Secretary Clinton Assists NC Woman In Reuniting With Her Abducted Daughter (In Egypt) »

Well, those of us who have been following Secretary Clinton’s career know that she is a hard worker, who goes about doing the work that needs doing without the glare of the lights and cameras. I heard about this story from a friend of mine who lives in the same neck of the woods as [...]

A Soft Spot »

Not too long ago, you may recall, I was on a cruise in the Mediterranean. One of our stops was in Egypt, and we spent the night in Cairo (the ship docked in Alexandria). We had a wonderful tour guide, a young woman named Rasha, seen above. Despite never having left Egypt, her English was [...]

“What is your order, my President?” »

POTUS to Cairo TV, A Fable.   The White House announcement that POTUS will stop in smoggy, beggarly, tyrannized Cairo in June to address the Muslim world on TV reminds me of the tale told on the Egyptian president for life Hosni Mubarak and his secret police chief and raconteur Omar Suleiman.  One night, President Mubarak [...]
