RUSH: You know, yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, I spent a lot of time on the program talking about how we here and you there knew full well what was happening in Egypt<\/a>. That this Arab Spring was an absolute joke. That it was not an outbreak of democracy. That what happened was militant Islamism was sweeping the Middle East. But we even had right-wing intelligentsia, right-wing conservative foreign policy people in Washington, “It was a wonderful thing to watch democracy in action. Democracy was flowering in the Middle East. Yes, we were succeeding in spreading democracy.” No, the Muslim Brotherhood was taking over the country of Egypt and sweeping throughout the region. And now the media is lamenting Obama\u2019s bad knock over this. It had such promise, the Arab Spring. And remember back in the day, Obama tried to take credit for the Arab Spring. <\/p>\n

Obama was trying to say that what was happening in Egypt, in Tahrir Square, the protests, were identical to what happened in this country in 2008. People taking their country back. People investing in hope and change. People investing in freedom and liberty and rebuilding America and love and all that. They were trying to take credit for what was happening. Obama goes over, makes this big Cairo speech. How\u2019d that work out for \u2019em? We\u2019re losing the region. Last night PBS\u2019 Charlie Rose spoke with the Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Fouad Ajami about the election in Egypt. Charlie Rose says, “So where are we in terms of Tahrir Square? Where is the revolution today?” And, remember, these guys, Charlie Rose, they\u2019re talking about the democracy revolution, the freedom revolution. ‘Cause these knuckleheads thought that\u2019s what was happening at the time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AJAMI: That revolution has taken on, of course, an Islamic coloring.<\/p>\n

ROSE: So —<\/p>\n

AJAMI: This is pretty much what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

ROSE: So the Muslim Brotherhood has kidnapped the revolution? <\/p>\n

AJAMI: I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

ROSE: Has morphed into the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood? <\/p>\n

AJAMI: Well, the people in Tahrir Square are lamenting that the two top candidates did not come from Tahrir Square. Well, too bad for Tahrir Square. As one young Egyptian writer said, “Tahrir Square is not Cairo, and Cairo is not Egypt.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then Washington\u2019s not Washington. What the hell does any of this mean? You know, I like Fouad Ajami. What the hell kind of doublespeak is this? I know you heard it. I\u2019m just incredulous here. So Charlie, the Muslim Brotherhood has kidnapped the revolution? Charlie, the Muslim Brotherhood was the revolution. Do you know how frustrating it is to look and see the sky is blue and to have a bunch of idiots think that it\u2019s yellow. ‘Cause that\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about here. So the Muslim Brotherhood kidnapped the revolution. Charlie, did you actually think that these longhaired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking types in Tahrir Square were actually gonna take over Egypt when the military ran the place? <\/p>\n

Did they actually think the guy standing in front of the tank at Tiananmen Square was gonna take over China? (imitating Rose) “Well, so the Muslim Brotherhood has kidnapped the revolution?” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ajami, “I don\u2019t think so, Charlie.” (laughing)<\/p>\n

“Well, it\u2019s morphed into the Egyptian revolution?” <\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think so.” <\/p>\n

“Well, it\u2019s morphed into the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood?” <\/p>\n

“The people in Tahrir Square are lamenting the two top candidates did not come from…” who expected that they would? Last night, same show, Charlie Rose this time speaking with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius about the elections in Egypt. Charlie Rose said, “Often we hear, ‘we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to come to power in Libya. We don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to come to power in Syria after Assad…” and I, frankly, still don\u2019t know who Obama is, and I talked to Tom Brokaw the other day, and he still doesn\u2019t know who Obama is. “…whenever that day happens. Are we going through something now with Tunisia and now in Egypt, an evolutionary process of sort of people like the Muslim Brotherhood in power and that may change them as much as they change the country?” What? does anybody watching the show know what they\u2019re talking about? I don\u2019t understand the question, but let\u2019s listen to the answer anyway.<\/p>\n

IGNATIUS: The Obama administration\u2019s made a big bet on this process of democracy and empowerment working in the long run for US interests. You\u2019d have to say this is a really bumpy process.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No kidding.<\/p>\n

IGNATIUS: Egypt is the best example, but most countries show the same thing. It shouldn\u2019t really be surprising in terms of really horrific outcomes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Then why are you?<\/p>\n

IGNATIUS: The way I hear people in the administration describe it, we\u2019re kind of holding on for the ride here. Obama\u2019s been very clear that he doesn\u2019t want to write the script for this Arab revolution. Even if he could, which is doubtful, he couldn\u2019t do it anyway. But the US is being reticent, is being sometimes cautious.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, I don\u2019t know. These are the best and brightest. These are the brightest and smartest, and they\u2019re blockheads. First, classic intellectual speak. (imitating Ignatius) “Well, Obama administration, big bet on this process of the democracy and empowerment, US interests, long run. Who knows, Charlie, what\u2019s gonna happen, but clearly Obama would like to be in charge of the outcome, but he can\u2019t, he really doesn\u2019t have anything to say with it. Everybody had our hopes up this was gonna be a big democratic movement and so forth. We didn\u2019t know what we were talking about, Charlie, nobody knew. We\u2019re the biggest bunch of fools ever. I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m on your show, Charlie.” (big sigh)<\/p>\n

Folks, look it. I know it\u2019s worth laughing at and I\u2019m laughing, but I\u2019m also incredulous. These are the smart people. Okay. Still holding out hope. Still holding out ho-ho hope that the Muslim Brotherhood is gonna be a democratic organization in the mold of Obama Kardashian. But now one of my all-time favorite series of sound bites, our buddy CNN reporter Nic Robertson. We\u2019re gonna go back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Hits, the sound bites in our archive. February 11th of 2011, a year-and-a-half ago, live in Cairo, Egypt, during the democratic uprising, the supposed democratic uprising, the Arab Spring in its formative days. CNN International correspondent Nic Robertson\u2019s talking to a man identified as Achmed, and they had this little discussion about the Egyptian anti-government protests.<\/p>\n

<\/a>ROBERTSON: Achmed, you\u2019ve been here, down here on the Square for many days. The United States and the international community. You\u2019ve just listened to President Obama saying that America will support Egypt if it wants help and assistance, and hopes that there will be a good transition for jobs for the young people. What would be your message for President Obama?<\/p>\n

ACHMED: We don\u2019t know, actually, who he supports. He serves for his own purposes, and the Egyptian people serve for our freedom and democracy. Any democratic country should see for the people, not for its own purposes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So Nic Robertson, here we are in the middle of Tahrir Square, these people are putting their lives on the line for what they think is democracy, then he asks, “What do you think of Obama?” That\u2019s essentially what Nic Robertson said, “What do you think of Obama? Obama hopes there will be a good transition, jobs for the young people.” He hasn\u2019t been able to have jobs for people in America, maybe you\u2019ll have jobs here in Egypt. “What do you think of President Obama?” “Well, we don\u2019t know actually who he supports. He serves for his own purposes.” <\/p>\n

So basically the guy said, “(Raspberry) Obama. I don\u2019t see him here! Why are you asking me about him?” So Nic moves on to Mustafa, and here\u2019s how that went…<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: Mustafa is joining me now. We just heard President Obama say that he wants to extend, eh, support and assistance to Egypt and Egyptians if they want any, and he hopes that there are more jobs for the young people in the future. What\u2019s your message for President Obama?<\/p>\n

MUSTAFA: Well, my message to President Obama is just, “We started this revolution without any outside help, and we are going to finish it also without any outside help.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just… (laughing) And they wonder why they only have 56 people watching at CNN? They\u2019re in the middle of Tahrir Square, there\u2019s a freedom uprising (they think), and they ask them, “What do you think about Obama? What is your message for Obama?” Obama? Who\u2019s in the White House telling Bibi Netanyahu to wait while he goes up and has Popsicles with his daughters? “What is your message for Obama?” This is on the mind of the CNN reporter! And, of course, Mustafa said (paraphrased), “Well, my message for Obama is we started this revolution without him, and we\u2019re gonna finish it without him. Who is he?”<\/p>\n

So Nic realizes here he\u2019s on the verge of losing this. The whole thing is to make this about Obama. So he makes one final stab at it.<\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: Are you pleased that President Obama has come out, however, now and said he supports this change and supports the people and supports the young people and — and what they\u2019ve done?<\/p>\n

<\/a>MUSTAFA: Well, actually President Obama\u2019s views were kind of conflicting during the last week, but now he\u2019s saying that he\u2019s supporting the change.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Am I the only one here? (laughing) I think this is rich! Nic Robertson, CNN, is in the middle of a freedom uprising in Egypt — and all that matters to him is what these people think of Obama. And he can\u2019t get \u2019em to say that they love Obama, and he can\u2019t get \u2019em to credit Obama for it. So he says (impression), “Well, are you pleased that President Obama has come out however and supports this change?” <\/line>“Well, Obama\u2019s view were kind of conflicting.” <\/line>So, it\u2019s time for the wrap-up now. It\u2019s time for Nic Robertson at CNN tell their views what they just saw. Here\u2019s how he did it…<\/line><\/p>\n

ROBERTSON: The view from here is one of very happy to now hear that President Obama has swung behind the people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) “The view from here is one of very happy to now hear that Obama has…” (laughing) Not one person said they gave a rat\u2019s rear end about Obama! “The view from here…” (laughing) Ah, this is too good.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, Jimmy Carter. It gets even better here, folks. It gets even better. Jimmy Carter just tweeted, via his Carter Center, quote (impression): “I\u2019m deeply troubled by the undemocratic turn that Egypt\u2019s transition has taken.” (laughing) Deeply troubled! Jimmy, time to head back and pound some nails. It\u2019s not working, buddy. He\u2019s “deeply troubled by the undemocratic turn Egypt\u2019s transition has taken.” In other words, Carter is furious that the Egyptian military might be keeping the Muslim Brotherhood from seizing power after their very successful coup.<\/p>\n

Let me ask you a question, folks. What country that has undergone a Arab Spring is now more pro-American than they were before the Arab Spring? What country that\u2019s had an Arab Spring is more pro-American now than it was before? The answer is zip, zero, none! Not one. By the way, what is it? The latest twist in this is Mubarak\u2019s ex-prime minister is now claiming that he won. His name is Ahmed Shafiq. Ahmed Shafiq is claiming that he\u2019s the real winner in Egypt\u2019s presidential race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
