Why would Obama send these 2 clowns on a mission to Egypt???????

[dixiegrrrrl]

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John McCain (R-Ari.) will travel to Egypt to urge the country to hold new elections and reinstall a democracy after the military succeeded in overthrowing the elected Muslim Brotherhood government.
The South Carolina Republican said President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry called him and McCain and asked them to make the trip to urge the Egyptian military to hold new Democratic elections.

1. For Shits And Giggles, Ma'am

Show up just how clueless and toothless they are....

[shraby]

2. It's to keep them busy and out of their hair. Didn't you ever have the kids race around the house

outside to give them something to do so you could work in peace and quiet for a little while?
My mother used to give us jobs to do around the place when we got in the way or were arguing.

3. Are they to meet outside of the US Embassy?

[Bluenorthwest]

9. Read the fine print. Maybe their tix were one-way.

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Very optimistic point of view....

[global1]

11. Now With This Major Al Quida Threat And The Closings Of The Embassies In The MidEast.....

Obama wouldn't send these guys into a virtual powder keg now - would he?

12. Comedy Relief?

While he was on the phone with the Egyptians they asked President Obama if he knew any old jokes.

[PufPuf23]

13. Can you imagine the scandal if something happens to these fools?

I can't think of a good reason frankly.

[Mojorabbit]

14. I know, right! Give the Republicans some more foreign policy chops

because you know, there aren't any Democrats who could have been sent. :eyeroll:

[KoKo]

15. He Thinks they will Do a Good Job?

I'm beyond figuring out the stuff he does and who he "hangs out with"...that seems so far different from what he campaigned on that sucked folks into "Hope and Change...You Can be aBeliever In!" that I have no idea WHY ...anymore.

[The Straight Story]

16. Egypt is denying this now:

CAIRO, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The Egyptian Interior Ministry denied a report on Sunday that Western and Arab envoys were going to visit a jailed Muslim Brotherhood leader, the state news agency said.

Abdel Fattah Othman, a top Interior Ministry official, told the MENA news agency that the report of the visit to Khairat El-Shater was completely untrue.

Earlier, the Doha-based news channel Al Jazeera said that envoys from the United States, the European Union, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates would visit Shater, the Brotherhood's top political strategist (Writing by Tom Perry; Editing by Doina Chiacu)

19. McCain and Obama now

The Arizona senator is a regular visitor to the West Wing and in near-daily contact with senior White House officials.

McCain, in an Associated Press interview, said that he and Obama “trust each other.” White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, among the Obama advisers who speak regularly with McCain, praised the lawmaker as a “refreshing” partner who “welcomes a debate and welcomes action.”

Like any good business arrangement in the nation’s capital, the secret to the new Obama-McCain alliance ultimately comes down to this: Both sides believe that working together is mutually beneficial and carries little political risk.
