Egyptian singer/belly dancer/satirist Sama Al-Masri (Elmasry) has another viral video on her hand. Not afraid to show her disdain for Mohammed Morsi, she's now tackling Barack Obama and U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson for their support of the Muslim Brotherhood. She's also not too fond of Turkey and Israel.
It should be noted that Sama was secretly wed to a Salafist MP, Anwar al-Balkimi (or Balkimy) aka the "nose job MP", until she discovered he was married with kids. Al-Balkimi denied the marriage, then again he also denied having a nose job, which is a major no-no in Islam. All rather odd since she so hates Islamists.

A Look At The Anti-Morsi Protests In Video and Photos
An aerial view shows the actual scope of the anti-Mohammed Morsi protests in Egypt. It's truly quite incredible how many have taken to the streets. Millions and millions.
And there is also a plethora of anti-Obama (and therefore anti-US) sentiment out there in response to Obama's stance on the Egyptian people's attempts to wrestle back the fledgling democracy they had initially fought for, until so many foolishly voted the Islamists in. And much anger towards the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, for criticizing their protests, and telling them to stand down.
In fact, Obama is going to piss them off even more when the Administration's threat of possibly cutting aid to Egypt if there is a coup becomes common knowledge. They will see this as siding with Morsi once again. Not that they care about our money, they just want Morsi out.
Obama needs to stay out of it.
I wish the Egyptian people much luck, though they have a hell of a lot of work to do on themselves, especially the male population: starting with the abysmal attitude towards women, including rampant sexual harassment of females. Sadly, in Tahrir Square this go round, many women, including a Dutch reporter, a grandmother and 7-year-old child have been sexually assaulted. No word of whether it was anti-Morsi or pro-Morsi Islamists who were the culprits.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few days. I had given up on Egypt, but it's looking promising since they have the backing of the military, and the police are trying to not take sides.

Video- Anti-Morsi/Anti-U.S. Protest In Egypt Led By Women
Some very angry Egyptians protesting against the man they voted into power. Looks like they are having buyers re-Morsi. A group of women (and men), led by a veiled older lady in the town of Manufiyya, chanting for the "dog" to get out.
Note the anti-U.S. sentiment, though. Apparently they don't want our money, too bad that can't be arranged. But I can see why they might feel resentment towards the U.S. After all, the Obama administration has embraced the Muslim Brotherhood. And then we have the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson criticizing their protests.
