He never had 'em to begin with.

Did ya see that hilarious video of CNN's Nic Robertson talking to Egyptians about how happy they must be with Obama and the Egyptians just going..."huh?"...Obama didn't do anything. Obama is worthless, etc,. And then Nic says to the camera that it's so clear Egyptians love Obama! Classic. They were mocking Obama in the streets there. They think he's a joke.

How Obama lost the Egyptian people

By Marc A. Thiessen

The extraordinary scenes in Cairo this past weekend brought back memories of similar scenes on the streets of Warsaw, Prague and Berlin two decades ago. Yet there is one crucial difference between then and now. Unlike the crowds that brought down Marxist regimes in Central Europe, the crowds that brought down the Mubarak regime in Egypt do not believe America stood with them in their struggle for freedom - and many believe we stood against them.

When the protests first erupted, ordinary Egyptians appeared to hope - almost to expect - that once they rose up to demand their freedom, America could not help but stand with them. Instead, they heard President Obama's handpicked envoy, Frank Wisner, declare that Hosni Mubarak "must stay in office" to oversee the changes he had ordered. They heard Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declare the United States backed "the transition process announced by the Egyptian government" (which then consisted of Mubarak staying in power until September). And they waited in vain for Obama himself to speak out clearly and align America with the democratic revolution they had set in motion. Soon their hopes gave way to disappointment and eventually anger. Demonstrators began carrying signs that declared "Shame on you Obama!" and showed Mubarak depicted as Obama in his iconic "hope" image - with a caption that read "No You Can't."

Not only did Obama not speak up for the protesters, in 2009 - at the very same time he was delivering his Cairo address calling for greater democracy in the Middle East - his administration cut pro-democracy funding for Egypt in half. Worse, in an effort to appease Mubarak, Obama agreed that the remaining money would be channeled only to groups approved by the government - effectively giving Mubarak a veto over which organizations received American support. This means that Obama cut off U.S. support for the very independent pro-democracy groups that sparked the Egyptian protests, toppled the Mubarak regime and may end up leading a new Egyptian government.

On Friday, following Mubarak's resignation, Obama finally gave an eloquent speech celebrating the "moral force" of the demonstrators who had "bent the arc of history toward justice." Those beautiful words fell on deaf ears in Cairo. Indeed, the protesters had anticipated Obama's belated praise. As one opposition leader put it before Mubarak's fall, the Americans "are just waiting to see which side wins and then they will claim to have backed them all along."

All I need as proof otherwise is to recall the fact they televised Obama's speech in the square the protestors made their base on the large-screen TVs they had set up there.
