Obama warns Egypt: Ally or enemy?

President Barack Obama says he will decide whether Egypt is an ally or an enemy of the United States in part according to the way the fledgling government in Cairo responds to the violent assault on the American Embassy there on Monday.

"Certainly in this situation what we're going to expect is that they are responsive to our insistence that our embassy is protected, our personnel is protected," Obama said. "And if they take actions that indicate they're not taking responsibilities, as all other countries do where we have embassies, I think that's going to be a real big problem."

The president—his handling of the so-called "Arab Spring" under fresh scrutiny after attacks on American diplomatic posts in Egypt, Libya and Yemen—had been asked by Telemundo whether he sees Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's government as an ally.

Was Obama's warning before or after he apologized?

"OOOOOOOOH!!! These people make me soooooo very mad, I could just spit" This statement was just issued from Barack Obama just minutes ago as he was getting a pedicure after the difficult campaigning in Las Vegas.

  His ignorance and his antichrist attitude is so extreme, that we may as well leave it alone with GOD. HE is the only one who can handle it. Those who are responsible, could be in debt to him and that maybe why they don't act.

Is Obama in campaign mode? Making it sound as if he is going to be tough on the Egyptians?

Egypt, Russia, Libya, Iran and Greece play a big part with GOD in these end days. It is all lining up perfectly, with GOD'S WORD..

  OH, Evermyrtle, take a breath. I to am a Christian, but you know what, IMMEDIATely after the crucifiction, People were lamenting, "the end times". Give it a rest. "No man knows the hour or the day", I assume that literally means, "we haven't got a clue"! It could happen before I have an opportunity to hit "Post" for this comment, or it might not happen for a million years! You know how you can look in the paper everyday, and check your horoscope? Well, those are written so "loosley", that virtually everyone fits all 12 signs in the paper. Well, this is the same thing as predicting the "end times". Written so loosely that you can make every scenario fit! No one knows. Just be ready, but quit moaning and groaning "the end times".

    Youre right, but Christ admonished us to "dicern the times &seasons" to be watchmen on the wall" Well, when you hear the Christmas music, and see the Christmas merchandise on the shelves at walmart..you KNOW that Halloween is on its way! The Gog /Magoog war in Ezekiel38&39 is coming soon to the middle east! Its just like the planetary alinments that come around every 100 years or so…the countries as described by the prophet Exekiel are coming together in order for this final battle! Watch and be ready! Could be tommorow or 100 years from now..but i believe its sooner than later!
    Shalom!

Obama doesn't oftern say what he believes. Specially in front of the ellections. On his last speech he was imitating Reagan. He retched up the patriotic phraseology and mention of God which required voting to be able to say the word at the DNC. He also quoted founding documents which fits him like pappal robes.

I bet he just said that just to sound tough. You can tell his insincerity when he stutters or hesitates. It'd be great to have a psychologist analyze that.
