And Obama still won't call what happened in Egypt a coup. What a cluster.

Yep. President Obama made a statement Thursday morning on the violence in Egypt. As Twitchy reported, journalists and protesters are being shot, churches are being burned and the death toll is rising.
He was late to speak, natch. This Twitter user guesses why:
Obama is late to his press conference again. The Admin has to come up with ways to explain the coup in Egypt without calling it a coup.

That’s right: The “coup” word is still not being uttered.
Not a coup..Remember RT @davidgregory: Obama says after coup a "more dangerous path was taken " in Egypt.

Also assclowns? Lapdogs in the media.

Isn’t he so strong and dreamy?! Squee!
CBS’ Margaret Brennan thinks so!
President Obama condemning & deploring violence in Egypt (strong words in diplomatic circles) & refers to coup as a military 'intervention'

Whatever, rubes! Y’all just don’t get the “diplomatic circles” nuance-y nuance.
Non-lapdogs rightly take the media to task.
@politico Wow, scary. I think I hear a collective sigh of relief from those being slaughtered.

@politico Yeah that'll show them..

AP enters the mix:
Dear @AP, you pro-Obama hacks, the "BREAKING" news is that Obama didn't do anything about aid to Egypt. FYI, you lapdog pieces of shit.

Tell us how you really feel!
What “news” did we get from Obama?
So far, we condemn and implore and extend condolences.
— Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) August 15, 2013
Pathetic. Paper Tiger POTUS strikes again.
What can we expect from him next?
Watch out. Soon Obama will be threatening to send a very strongly worded letter.
