Obama Supports Terrorism.
Wake up America! It’s amazing that the people of Egypt are smarter than we are in America today.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters went on to the streets of Cairo as part of mass demonstrations across Egypt exactly a year since President Mohamed Morsi came to power.
Some 200,000 people descended on Tahrir Square, the heart of the 2011 uprising against Mr Morsi’s predecessor Hosni Mubarak, while others were outside the presidential palace several miles away, which was under heavy guard.
Police and troops have deployed to protect key buildings around the country, security officials said. The health ministry said hospitals have been placed on high alert.
Andrew Pochter. Andrew Pochter was killed in AlexandriaA senior security official said the Suez Canal, the vital waterway that connects the Mediterranean with the Red Sea, has been placed under “maximum security”.
Liberal leaders say nearly half the voting population – 22 million people – have signed a petition calling for change. Mr Morsi’s opponents have promised a “second revolution”.
But the president’s Muslim Brotherhood and militant allies pledge to defend what they say is the legitimate order.
Several people have been killed and hundreds wounded in days of street fighting across the country.
An American student who was killed during violent clashes in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria on Friday was identified as Andrew Pochter, 21, from Maryland.
Mr Morsi has called his opponents bad losers backed by “thugs” from the rule of deposed Hosni Mubarak.
He is banking on the “Tamarud – Rebel!” coalition fizzling out, as other challenges in the streets have done since he took power.
US President Barack Obama called on Egyptians to focus on dialogue. His ambassador to Egypt has angered the opposition by suggesting protests are not helping the economy.
Liberal leaders, fractious and defeated in a series of ballots last year, hope that by putting millions on the streets they can force Mr Morsi to relent.
EGYPT-POLITICS-UNREST Recent days have seen intense street fightingReligious authorities have warned of “civil war”.
The army has said it will step in if violence gets out of control but insists it will respect the “will of the people”.
Mr Morsi, who on Saturday met the head of the military he appointed last year, interprets that to mean army support for election results.

Who else has had enough of this bullshit? Obama’s priorities are not the same as ours. He hates this country and the military.
Barack Obama blew $100 million to take his wife, his two daughters, his mother-in-law and his niece to Africa with him this past week.
But, he canceled Independence Day celebrations at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg.
FOX Nation reported, via Free Republic:The Fourth of July won’t have a patriotic boom in the sky over some military bases because budget cuts and furloughed workers also mean furloughed fireworks.
Independence Day celebrations have been canceled at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg, both in North Carolina. The annual July Fourth celebration also has been scrapped at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Ga.
The reason is money — namely the lack of it.
The failure in Washington to follow up a 2011 budget pact with additional spending cuts meant $85 billion across-the-board cuts that began in March. Budgets tightened, the military took a major hit and many federal workers absorbed pay cuts through forced furloughs.
When the decision was made to forgo fireworks at Camp Lejeune, the commanding general, Brig. Gen. Thomas Gorry, said the cancellation would “ensure that we can mitigate the fiscal challenges we are currently facing.”

In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large German-speaking population.
One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher’s stock pond.
The rancher rolled down the window and shouted: “Sehr angenehm! Trink das Wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein geschissen.” This means: Glad to meet you! Don’t drink the water. The cows have crapped in it.”
The man shouted back: “I’m from New York and just down here campaigning for Obama’s health care plan. I can’t understand you. Please speak in English.”
The rancher replied: “Use both hands.”
