"The anger against the U.S. is based on Egypt’s June 30 uprising that led to the July 3 ouster of Morsi. Supporters of Morsi said Obama turned his back on him while secular Egyptians say Obama sided with ‘terrorists’ instead of aligning with freedom fighters in eradicating extremism from their country.
“We see Obama as a man supporting terrorism here in Egypt by funding and helping Muslim Brotherhood terrorists,” Gina Adel said in an interview with Fox News from Cairo.
“Egyptian people here hate Obama and say let him cut the aid so we can be free from American domination on us.”

“Egyptian people here hate Obama and say let him cut the aid so we can be free from American domination on us.” The Egyptian people are onto something that isn't limited to just Egypt. The United States needs to cut all foreign aid to every country (excluding privately funded humanitarian aid). It has always been used to support tyrannical regimes historically and why the United States financially supports tyranny has always been a question for me.
Of course President Obama is blamed today because he's the President but the problem is not just Obama's. How many Presidents sent US foreign aid to Mubarak and he was about as tyrannical as they come. Remember that the Egyptian revolution was to overthrow Mubarak because he was a tyrant and US presidents had supported Mubarak for decades.
