Egypt Now Fears Obama A 'Manchurian President'

Top members of the Egyptian government say they feel betrayed by President Obama, charging that he is acting against American interests.

"Mubarak's regime feels Obama is pushing the advancement of the Muslim Brotherhood against U.S. interests," said WND's Jerusalem bureau chief and senior reporter Aaron Klein. "They are genuinely trying to understand why Obama is seemingly championing the anti-regime protests."

Klein said that a top Egyptian diplomat with whom he has developed a rapport over the last few years asked him earlier this week to explain Obama's motivation to support the opposition to Mubarak.

"I told him none of this should be a surprise," said Klein. "That the Obama administration has developed an extensive relationship over the last few years with allies of the Muslim Brotherhood.

"That my investigating has proven that Obama has been closely associated throughout his political career with radical-left elements who have long petitioned for policies many believe are aimed at weakening the American enterprise both domestically and internationally."

"The Egyptian diplomat seemed surprised," said Klein. "I told him this material was thoroughly documented in my latest book."

The diplomat requested 20 copies of Klein's New York Times bestselling book investigating Obama, "The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists, and Other Anti-American Extremists."

The diplomat said he would deliver the book, which was co-authored by Brenda J. Elliott, to senior officials in Mubarak's embattled government.

Obama in recent days urged Mubarak to give up power in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood forms the main opposition.

Mubarak has been a staunch U.S. ally and a recipient of billions of dollars in military aid. His regime has long been considered a stabilizing force in the Arab world.

The Obama administration's support for the unrest is strikingly reminiscent of Jimmy Carter's support of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, which marked the birth of modern Islamist expansion.

Can anyone say "Closet Muslim"? It's really odd how just the other day that Mr. Obama was giving a speech where he was touting his Christianity to the audience all while this mess was playing out in Egypt.

He gives a great speech but so do many people. It is very unfortunate that his actions don't match his words. I am truly afraid of the Muslim faith in general because it does not really practice tolerance in my opinion -- but neither do most religions in the truest sense with the exception of Buddhist; have you ever seen or heard of a fanatical Buddhist killing anyone other than themselves as a form of protest?

Just my 2cents -- I find most super...eh, religion to be a bit much once you get beyond the "love thy neighbor" aspect. I could be wrong and I find that religion helps many people but it is also the root of much pain, bloodshed and death.
