Obama is trying to create the delusional lie that America is a muslim country.. Last mouth he said USA is not a Christian country.. and before that He said Christians, right to life, and vets are the terrorists while ignoring the real muslim terrorists.. He is setting USA up to kill and persecute Christians and to force the Islamic beast on USA..

Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated 82 million[1] live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.

i dont care if the man is black,white,red or yellow. my only thing is this,he calls himself a christian yet he supports abortion,he calls himself a christian and he supports a 2 party state in israel,he calls himself a christian and he says america is no longer a christian nation.my bible says "i will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you" that statement is talking about the nation of israel and the jewish people.another question i have is this,where is his birth certificate.i cant cry over spilled milk he is our president i just pray that the LORD will intervine and change his heart.it is now time for the real born again believers to ban together and pray for our nation.not GOD bless america but america bless GOD.

He said he was christian before he was elected, and now he's taking sides with the Muslims! If you don't believe what they believe, then you'll be beheaded, if you are even part of their religion in any manner! He is moreover proving himself as the anti-christ! I say impeach the jerk!

What has President Obama done in his short time in office that cause the hateful expressios of the previous opiners of this aricle? Do you have less food? Is your home still warm? Will you receive some stimulus money or I should ask- would you accept any that could come your way?

J P Smith of NY 11:33AM May 10, 2009

ASINUS YOU THANK GOD FOR ALL THESE THINGS YOU FEEL PRESIDENT OBAMA IS DOING. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS YOU DO NOT SAY WHAT HE HAS DONE ABOUT ANY OF YOUR PERCIEVED SITUATIONS THAT NEED HIS ATTENTION. THE GROSSLY OVER PROTECTED TOP ONE PERCENT OF INCOME RECIEPITENTS[LOL] ARE PAYING 90 PCT OF ALL TAXES PAID. YOU MAY BE WAITING FOR YOUR COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REFUNDS FROM YOUR TAX RETURNS AND YOU PROBABLY GET MORE BACK THAN YOU PAID INTO THEM. THE WEALTHY FILE ON THE 15TH OF APRIL BECAUSE THEY OWE EVERY YEAR. I COULD SATARIZE EVERYONE ONE OF YOUR THANK GOD STATEMENTS EXCEPT DUE TO LACK OF CHARACTERS AVAILABLE I CHOSE THIS ONE.

CHOOSING THANK GOD TO START ALL YOUR IGNORANT AN INANE STATEMENTS IS ALSO OXYMORONIC IN SPEAKING IN REGARDS TO THIS PRESIDENT AND ALL THE DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE AND CONGRESS. I AM ASHAMED TO SAY I VOTED FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA. I WILL NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN. ALL THE DEMOCRATS RUNNING IN 2010 WILL NOT HAVE MY VOTE AS THEY USUALLY DO UNLESS THEY START VOTING AND ACTING AS THEIR CONSTITUENTS WANT THEM TO, NOT VOTING OUT OF FEAR OF THE DNC AND THE OTHER LEADERS OF THE PARTY.

Anyone who voted for obama should hang there head in shame. This moslum in sheep clothing goes overseas criticized america in europe now he is going to egypt where some of the 9/11 terrorist savages came from. Will he ask moslums to apologize for over 40 years of terrorism? NO, And now he is releasing chinese moslum terorist from gitmo to live in virginia on taxpayer money. When next terror attack comes the people who voted for this thug are to blame

This is very much a political move and one which could go in either direction. Egypt was chosen because they have a lasting peace accord with Israel and because Egypt used to be the leader of Pan-Arab nationalism. With Iran expanding its influence throughout the Arab world, it is a major concern for the US, Israel, and the moderate Arab nations - specifically Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Therefore this is meant as a sign from Obama that he is not going to stop supporting Israel and that he is going to do what is in his power to effectively counter Iran. This idea of countering Iran is also why we will see peace made between Israel and the Palestinians within the next eight years.
