Many in Israel and Egypt fear obama trying to scuttle election of strong Egyptian President

BALTIMORE, Maryland January 29, 2014 - A growing number of Israelis and Egyptians claim that obama is actively trying to keep a strong Egyptian General with widespread support from running for President in upcoming Egyptian elections.  A blogger in Israel, known as "Israpundit" posted yesterday a detailed account of steps taken by obama and his far left regime to prevent General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the current Defense Minister, from even being on the ballot.  According to Israpundit, it was El-Sisi who led the movement which overthrew Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood poster "guy" who "won" a previous election amidst widespread claims of corruption and election tampering.  Morsi is currently on trial in Egypt for opening the jailhouse doors and allowing a mass prisoner escape once he was in power.  During his short stay in power obama funneled over $8 million to Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, a widespread and amorphous movement with ties to Al Qaeda.  Israpundit alleges that obama's plan is to have Muslim Brotherhood members rise to power throughout the Middle East.

United States Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel - a far left politician nominally registered as a Republican - contacted several members of the Egyptian armed forces in recent days in a somewhat desperate attempt to keep El-Sisi off the ballot.  Hagel told these Egyptian Military contacts that obama "is not comfortable" with El-Sisi, and instead wants the military to completely disengage in Egyptian politics.  obama has also prevailed upon several Middle East Arab countries to publicly make the same request.  These countries include Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

It appears, however, that obama's efforts have failed and actually angered the Egyptian military.  At a meeting recently of high level Egyptian Military leaders, plans for an election within 90 days and plans to supervise and regulate the process were hammered out.  The group emphasized that any candidate meeting the qualifications for candidacy set out in the Egyptian Constitution would be permitted to run.  No one has suggested that El-Sisi lacks any of these qualifying characteristics.
