We Should Raise Our Children to be Like Egyptian Youth: Obama

Sometimes I wonder if Obama actually likes this country. And I don't like that feeling.

I listened to him years ago and knew he didnt like America.

Why else does one want to fundamentally change America?

So does that mean that:

Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Paine
Benjamin Franklin
George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
Frederick Douglas
Susan B. Anthony
Theodore Roosevelt
Upton Sinclair
Eugene V. Debs
Franklin Roosevelt
Martin Luther King, Jr.

all disliked America? All of these people (and many others) have wanted to fundamentally change America in some way or other.

Is the only way to "like America" to freeze it into an unchanging rigor mortis?

What were the fundamental roots for America for Thomas Jefferson Thomas Paine Benjamin Franklin George Washington?

Franklin Roosevelt did change the fundamentals of America he made it more socialist

White House backs Egypt protesters...

White House wants transition in Egypt 'as soon as possible'
Nov 25, 2011 - Showing support for Egypt's protesters, the White House on Friday called on Egypt's interim military rulers to quickly hand over power as thousands took to the streets in Cairo.
"The United States strongly believes that the new Egyptian government must be empowered with real authority immediately," the White House said in a statement. "We believe that Egypt's transition to democracy must continue, with elections proceeding expeditiously, and all necessary measures taken to ensure security and prevent intimidation. Most importantly, we believe that the full transfer of power to a civilian government must take place in a just and inclusive manner that responds to the legitimate aspirations of the Egyptian people, as soon as possible."

The statement is significant because the Obama administration had publicly endorsed a plan for military rule to ease the transition to democracy and civilian rule into 2013. The United States has long been one of the Egyptian military's biggest allies — directing more than $1 billion in aid to the nation last year. Thousands took part in Friday's Last Change-Million Man March in Cairo as Egytians prepare to go to the polls Monday for parliamentary elections. This week, Egypt's Cabinet resigned in reaction to protesters' outrage. Thursday, Egypt's generals announced they planned to appoint a former Hosni Mubarak deputy, Kamel el-Ganzoury, as the new temporary prime minister, but the move was scoffed at by the opposition.

Dozens have been killed and thousands injured this month since Egypt's military made what protesters perceived as a power grab — calling for constitutional changes that would have made the future civilian government subordinate to the military. "We deeply regret the loss of life and urge the Egyptian authorities to implement an independent investigation into the circumstances of those deaths," the White House statement said. "But the situation Egypt faces requires a more fundamental solution, devised by Egyptians, which is consistent with universal principles."
