EGYPT'S MORSI GRANTS HIMSELF FAR-REACHING POWERS

Egypt's Islamist president unilaterally decreed greater authorities for himself Thursday and effectively neutralized a judicial system that had emerged as a key opponent by declaring that the courts are barred from challenging his decisions.

Riding high on U.S. and international praise for mediating a Gaza cease-fire, Mohammed Morsi put himself above oversight and gave protection to the Islamist-led assembly writing a new constitution from a looming threat of dissolution by court order.

But the move is likely to fuel growing public anger that he and his Muslim Brotherhood are seizing too much power.

That Arab Spring's working out wonderfully isn't it? The militant islamists don't know whether to laugh or be amazing at the stupidity of the obama voters.

Of course they didn't see this coming, 8:10. Everyone within the Obama administration is worthless. He has to pick from the lowest of the low because the top notchers will not work with the inept nor the corrupt.

Arab Spring, huh? Makes it sound like a joyous festival. A beautiful awakening in a paradise of peace and fun. Unless you are a woman, a regular citizen, or not Muslim. Then its the everyday murder, mayhem, beatings, and chaos. Morsi is just another arab dictator running another run down and corrupt Muslim dictatorship. They (the muslims) deny FIFTY PERCENT or more of their citizens the right to even drive a car, talk to strangers, or go outside without permission. And obama want us to be nice to them and "understand" them? Like they "understand" us (as in "benghazi, somalia, new dehli, afgahnistan, etc.)?....
