New Poll Numbers

The LA Times has an article that includes these Poll Numbers.

In the latest Pew polls, 76% of Egyptians had an unfavorable view of the Obama administration; poll numbers from Shibley Telhami found only 25% favored Obama's reelection and 85% had an unfavorable view of the U.S. in general.

The good news for President Obama is that Egyptians don't vote in US Elections; at least I hope not.

The bulk of the article talks to the three things standing between us and the Egyptians:

1. The Democracy Problem—does either the Muslim Brotherhood or the Egyptian Military really want democracy?
2. The Israel Problem—Do the Egyptian People really want peace with Israel?
3. The "Egyptians-hate-our-policy problem"—enough said.

As Margo Channing says:  "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!"
