Obama Administration Declares Egypt Military Takeover Not-A-Coup

The Coup d'etat in Egypt led by General Al-Sisi seems satisfactory to the Obama administration. President Obama's press mouthpiece has deemed it not-a-coup in order to continue giving billions of dollars to the incipient junta promising free and fair elections down the road. The semantics, or rather dissimulation of executive rule by decree and selective law enforcement is a growing trend in the U.S. Government. Power is sweet I suppose. President Obama should follow the law instead of breaking it whenever he deems it useful.

Paramount leader Al Sisi might better declare Egypt to be a constitutional Pharaohship and bring in British royals as advisers about setting it up. Like British royals the Pharaoh could just step in whenever the Parliament and P.M. mess up and can't balance the budget on very rare occasions. A benevolent military pharaoh could be just the big brother the people of Egypt want and that President Obama appears to support. Whenever politicians go too far it's good to know the military will step in and restore normalcy at least if it's in someone else's country.

Since the Iranian not-a-coup restored a Shah to Iran's Peacock throne driving out P.M. Mosadegh and downsizing the Majlis the United States has trended toward managing autocracy and democracy relations on a sliding scale,sometimes with word labels as noun variables contingent upon circumstance, need and resource extraction interests. We are not certain what the administration position is in either nation (the U.S. or Egypt). Probably what they should do is cut off financial aid to Egypt immediately due to coup and restore it when they have an election with a fair and balanced result soon. Instead of military aid we could give the people Obama phones for the same price. Democrats cannot rely upon twittering except at their peril.
