OBAMA: We are following today's events in Egypt very closely and we'll have more to say as this plays out. But what is absolutely clear is that we are witnessing history unfold. It's a moment of transformation that's taking place because the people of Egypt are calling for change. They've turned out in extraordinary numbers representing all ages and all walks of life, but it's young people who have been at the forefront, a new generation. Your generation --
RUSH: Gonna throw up.
OBAMA: -- who want voices to be heard. So going forward we want those young people and we want all Egyptians to know America will continue to do everything that we can to support an orderly and genuine transition to democracy in Egypt.
RUSH: That is horrible. That is as shameless as anything yet. This is co-opting whatever's going on over there and relating it to his reelection campaign of 2012 in an attempt to get out the youth vote, making the speech to a bunch of skulls full of mush at a university, telling them, "That's essentially you over there. That's the young people, wanting change." What Obama was telling those people, "The Egyptians want their own me. The Egyptians want their own Obama." My gosh, this guy is shameless. That, folks, is just extraordinary. "A new generation, your generation who want their voices to be heard. So going forward we want those young people, all Egyptians to know America --" Good Lord, take it and make it about yourself. That's disgusting. He has no clue what this is. He has no clue what this is about. Nobody does. But now it's been appropriated. It's about Obama's reelection campaign. "We are watching history unfold." Doesn't history unfold every day? We've been watching history unfold for two years here, folks, and we're not happy about it.
The real question is, or should be, will these events help the United States? Are they in our best interests? It doesn't sound odd to say that. Believe it or not, that's what the US president is supposed to be thinking. The US president is supposed to be thinking how does this help us in the Middle East, what does this do, what is this saying about US interests? He couldn't care less. This has now been appropriated for his reelection campaign. To tell a bunch of college students that essentially it's them, your counterparts, your colleagues, your compatriots in Egypt are calling for change, which is of course what his campaign was all about. This is despicable, folks, I'm sorry. This is so beneath the presidency to look at this, to talk this way, and this is the second time he's done it, to try and get out in front of the mob and now own it a second time.
Rush then had a caller on, who had immigrated from Egypt- who pointed out that Mubarak has been asking for this coup for 30 years. He - and Rush - discussed the first Egyptian revolt 1952.
Now, this is eerie because this is almost exactly what happened in 1952 in Egypt. July 23rd, 1952, a group of army officers calling itself the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdel Nasser overthrew the monarchy and a revolutionary command council composed of about a dozen top members of the movement became Egypt's government, and then Nasser overthrew them and became a ruling monarch. This is why I said it's the second revolution you have to pay attention to.
That all made very intersting reading. I won't share it all here, but I provide the link:
