Hillary Clinton Snubbed By Young Leaders Of Egypt’s Revolt

» 38 comments

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Cairo this morning, but she won’t be meeting with a coalition of six youth groups that emerged from Egypt’s revolution last month. In a blunt snub, members of the January 25 Revolution Youth Coalition said “based on (Clinton’s) negative position from the beginning of the revolution and the position of the US administration in the Middle East, we reject this invitation.”

ABC News reports a Clinton spokesperson had no immediate reaction to the snub, but a State Department official told the network a meeting had been planned for Tuesday, and Clinton still plans to meet with “members of civil society and transitional government officials” as she urges “Egyptians to continue on the path toward democracy.”

The snub comes after comments Clinton made as recently as 2009, when she said in an interview with Al Arabiya “I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States.” Those words–and a perception in Cairo that Clinton was slow to embrace the protest movement–have not endeared her to members of the youth group coalition.

    lol,,, well,, that could be it
    that could be the real reason,, lol

  • Harry Flashman

    Oops.

    The Obama Administration is the single most incompetent and untrustworthy in history. They wait to see which way the wind is blowing before doing anything at all. And this time people noticed.

    It’s gonna get worse before it gets better with this bunch in charge.

  • OxyCon

    and the position of the US administration in the Middle East, we reject this invitation.

    That right there is the true motivation. Anti-American sentiments, probably derived from being devout Muslims. And just think of all the useful idiots on the left who were rooting for these people.

  • illusive man

    Oh, No love for Hillary……………………………………………………………………AGAIN!!!!!

    They’re keeping it consistent in case she primaries Baracky. They don’t want her looking attractive or appealing until they are sure she won’t run.

  • OxyCon

    I’m still waiting for Mediaite to post the all important “Obama picks his March Madness brackets” post, and the upcoming Obama family vacation in Rio. There’s much more important things going on in the world then upheaval in Muslim countries, natural disasters, nuclear disasters and budgetary disasters. Obama needs adulation and Mediaite is failing their duty to help him get it.

    She looks very elderly. It is very likely that she is a Republican, maybe even a Tea Partier. We already know from the 2008 Democratic primary that she’s a racist.

    You got that right. Obama can’t make a decision. He votes present. Last week our friends on the left kept citing polls. Obama was going to run away with the election. Oh NO, the polls have changed. Let us see if they cite these polls today?

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 20% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22. That is the president’s lowest rating since September

    Republicans currently enjoy a nine-point advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

    Overall, 43% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-seven percent (57%) disapprove.

    Economy, Gas, Partisanship and War Gang Up on Confidence in Government
    Confidence in the U.S. System of Government Drops to a 35-Year Low

    Confidence in the U.S. system of government has dropped to a new low in more than 35 years, with public attitudes burdened by continued economic discontent, soaring gasoline prices, record opposition to the war in Afghanistan — and a letdown in hopes for political progress after a bout of bipartisanship last fall.

    She has been looking like this since she said she is not going to run for president. I think she means it. She has let her hair go and she is not covering up the wrinkles. Don’t forget, she was a hippie with stringy hair and ugly glasses when she married Bill. Remember she didn’t want to use his last name. Hippies don’t care about their looks. She really never liked playing dress up. Most of her lesbian friends are the non-make-up type.

  • Joe Astroturf

    She’s lucky they didn’t laugh at her. Hillary in order to get to be Senator let all the crooks out in New Square Monsey New York by getting Bill to pardon them. Hillary is good friends with terrorists like her friend Mark Rich but she looks like she wants to sell out Israel now. This should not surprise anyone. Korea must be laughing in Annie Oaklie’e face when she threatens them. She knows a lot about extremists like Saul Alinsky who she worshipped and made her Thesis on. On her watch Wikileaks let out are secrets and she joked about it . Hey all of you afghans that got killed Annie say don’t worry about it. Obama hired Hillary (he called her Annie Oaklie once) and probably didn’t remember what a fool she looked like saying that little girls passing out flowers in Bosnia attacked her with machine gun fire. Let’s look at the good it gave her some good comedy material. Can you imagine if republicans had a clown like this as their Secretary Of State. Hillary and Obama get a long real good because of their common teacher Sauk Alinsky and Obamacare.

    Here’s a verse

    Doctors are retiring earlier but we’re getting 17000 new IRS
    This is how Obama creates health care jobs I guess
    For 234 years this country’s been God’s blessing.
    Now he’s following Cloward and Piven’s to bankrupt the country I’m guessing
    If Obamacare gives Grandma and Grandpa a scare
    Think how when their rationed and die earlier we’ll save on healthcare

    Hey guys if you fought at Iwo or the Chosin
    when they stop giving your wife her meds and her last breath comes over her face
    you’ll find comfort knowing Nancy’d gladly take her place.

    The Egyptians are still mad at her for running against Obama.

  • chatmandu002

    Obama fiddles while the middle east burns. Our Campaigner-in-Chief shows no leadership or balls.

  • njoy-d-ride

    Well, sadly they did not snub her because they were Republicans.
