Via Beltway Confidential:
Mohamed Morsi, the new Muslim Brotherhood president of Egpyt, took a dig at a recent remark by President Obama and his White House’s subsequent attempt to explain away the gaffe.
Morsi poked Obama for his equivocating answer to a question about whether the United States and Egypt are allied countries. From The New York Times:
When asked if he considered the United States an ally, Mr. Morsi answered in English, “That depends on your definition of ally,” smiling at his deliberate echo of Mr. Obama. But he said he envisioned the two nations as “real friends.”
