"Arab Spring" in Cairo Continues

Morsi assumes dictatorial powers



Hat tip PJ Media

It seems like only days since our secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, was linking arms with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and praising him to the skies for his leadership in brokering that Israeli-Hamas cease fire. Now, perhaps buoyed by her lavish praise, Morsi has assumed dictatorial powers in Egypt as that "democracy" takes takes root.

 “The constitutional declarations, decisions and laws issued by the president are final and not subject to appeal.”

The Muslim Brotherhood's English-language website (Ikhwan) is running several articles defending the move.

How many billions more do we give Egypt to support that?\

Meanwhile, the reaction on the street was predictable (hat tip Vlad Tepes). They are not happy.



(Cub scouts take note: The next Carlos Zambrano may be in that crowd.)

How many more years will it be before we in America hear those words from our president, whether it is Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton?

Egyptian idea of Democracy:

One man, one vote, one time.
