'Obama did not want this revolution'
By Lucky Gold
As Egypt waits for the delayed results of its presidential election, one of the revolutionary voices of the Arab Spring had a message for another president – Barack Obama.
“The U.S. administration should back off,” said Mahmoud Salem, aka “Sandmonkey,” the pseudonym under which he has authored a blog since the early days of the uprising.
“It was the message of Barack Obama’s administration to keep Mubarak,” he said Thursday on Amanpour. “Obama did not want this revolution and right now they (the American government) have made a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood to have (Mohamed) Morsi as the president. They have been meeting them (the Muslim Brotherhood) for the past year. They need to stop pressuring us.” FULL POST

China’s slowdown, everybody’s problem

Is China, the world’s second largest economy after the U.S., slowing down and heading for a crash landing? Ian Bremmer, President of the Eurasia Group, has looked at China’s latest economic indicators and concludes, “The United States and Europe would kill for numbers like that, but of course the reality is they won’t. And the Chinese will and can.”
Appearing Wednesday on Amanpour, Bremmer, the author of “Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World,” admitted, “I’m being a bit flippant but I also mean that somewhat literally. Because the Chinese…don’t have a banking system, so you can’t have a run on Chinese banks. They can move people around, they can extract labor, they can do things that are utterly implausible for a democratically-elected state that will allow them to maintain the kind of growth that they know they have to have if they want to ensure their own political sustainability as leaders.” FULL POST

Europe off the cliff
By Lucky Gold
We don’t need more time to hang ourselves
(CNN) - In the aftermath of its most recent election, will Greece remain in the eurozone, and will a pro-bailout government begin a recovery?
Yannis Varoufakis, Professor of Economics at the University of Athens doesn’t think so:
“Even if God, his angels and every good man and woman on this planet were to descend on Greece and form a government with a purpose and commitment to implement this bailout agreement, it would simply not be possible.”
Appearing Tuesday on Amanpour, Varoufakis went even further: “We don’t need more time to hang ourselves. We don’t need different dosages of the same poison. We need another approach.”
Varoufakis warned that “what Greece has done is to prolong a very agonizing death. It is bringing down with it, yet again, spreading contagion to the rest of Europe…What is happening here in Greece is the template which is being imposed upon Spain.”
Calling it a “death embrace between insolvent banks and insolvent states,” Varoufakis cautioned that “Greece is quite small and insignificant, but Spain is too large to ignore and it is bringing down with it the whole of the eurozone.” FULL POST

We are much more liberal than everyone else thinks we are
The results of Egypt’s historic presidential election are not yet official, but with Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, claiming victory, while the military apparently retains power, the voting has created more questions than answers.
To address some of those questions Jihad Haddad, a spokesman for Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, appeared Monday on Amanpour. He was asked if women and Christians, among others, should be frightened if Mohamed Morsi becomes president.
On the contrary, said Haddad, “Their rights will be safeguarded much more than it was during Mubarak’s time. All personal freedoms will be safeguarded. They will have complete freedom in every one of their choices, even religion.”
Speaking to Christiane Amanpour in Cairo, Haddad addressed the perception of the Muslim Brotherhood: “Everything that has been echoed about the Muslim Brotherhood is probably much more lies than truth,” he said. “In reality, we are much more liberal than everyone else thinks we are.”
Haddad is unfazed by the military’s assertion of power over the parliament and over the presidency. “Everything is running smoothly,” he said. According to Haddad, parliament will meet as planned this week, potentially forcing a confrontation with military rulers and Egypt’s high court. FULL POST
