Absolutely clueless.

(CBS News)– President Obama sat down with Bill O’Reilly of FOX News for an interview Sunday and discussed many things, from the Egyptian uprising to the Super Bowl to the constitutionality of the health care law that Mr. Obama passed last year.

Regarding Egypt and President Mubarak, Mr. Obama said, “The United States and Egypt have been a partner for a long time. [Mubarak’s] been a good partner when it comes to the peace with Israel. Counterterrorism effects that he’s supported. We have said publicly and privately that trying to suppress your own people is not sustainable. When you resort to suppression and violence, it does not work.”

When O’Reilly asked Mr. Obama about the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood and whether the group is a threat, Mr. Obama said, “I think they’re one faction in Egypt. They don’t have majority support in Egypt. But they’re well organized. There are strains of their ideology that are anti-U.S. There’s no doubt about it.”

Mr. Obama went on to say that there are many secular people in Egypt, along with many educators and a civil society that wants a representative government.
