> So you provide nothing but a dead link to refute a story which clearly shows what the poster said. When are YOU going to learn? snopes.com Oops. Link fixed. And no, it does not say what simplicity said. Which was that Obama used a helicopter simply for basketballs and his dog. Which just wasn't true. The story says that the small airport cannot accommodate the normal presidential jet, so they have to split the party and cargo into two smaller planes. That's far different from the implication of providing a jet/helicopter just for a dog and basketballs. At the end of the day, the story is supposed to be that Democratic Presidents, particularly black ones, should not be allowed to go on vacation. What Republican ones do doesn't really matter.

Kerry, during a surprise appearance at the State Department, condemned the violence In talking with Egyptians, all sides are condemning Obama and his designees for their negligence and contributions to this instability. WASHINGTON — In a stern warning to Egypt's leaders, Secretary of State John Kerry said the escalating violence throughout the country Wednesday had dealt a "serious blow" to political reconciliation efforts between the military-backed interim government and supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. Still, Obama administration officials signaled no change in U.S. policy toward Egypt or clear consequences for the mounting violence. What policy, what no change? He insisted we would support the Morsi government as a democratically elected body, but did not support them when protesters called his bluff. Then switched to non-coup status because the fall of the Morsi Government is the result of citizen action not a military coup. Now the citizen leaders are abandoning the interim government, and the Pres is expecting the Military to bring about democratic reform. huffingtonpost.com Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and pro-reform leader in the interim government, resigned in protest over the assaults as the military-backed leadership imposed a month long state of emergency ... So the Commander and Wimp in charge of the American Armed Forces assigns John Kerry to the task. Does any one remember how John Kerry became famous in the first place. If not, it was as the key spokesperson in the sixties protesting against the operations of the American Armed Forces. "Figuring out how to encourage the interim government to make good on their promise to transition to a democratically elected government there is something that we're working on," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. "Hopefully it's something they're working on." Hopefully they are working on it??? Is that our policy?
