Nice work, Jimmy Barack.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry blamed the violence today on Obama’s careless statements.
USA Today reported, via FOX Nation:
The Egyptian foreign ministry appears to be rejecting President Obama’s call for an immediate transition from the government of President Hosni Mubarak — and says that such calls are inciting violence.
“What foreign parties are saying about ‘a period of transition beginning immediately’ in Egypt is rejected,” said foreign ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki, adding that such calls “inflame the internal situation in Egypt.”
On Tuesday night, Obama said: “What is clear — and what I indicated tonight to President Mubarak — is my belief that an orderly transition must be meaningful, it must be peaceful, and it must begin now.”
The Egyptian ministry told reporters today that at least 350 people were injured and one person was killed in the violence today in Cairo.
