Obama's Islamist Reaction to the Coup in Egypt

The judge replacing Morsi is clearly vastly better than Morsi. America should be throwing all its support behind him. Instead Obama is making threats about cutting off aid and warning the Egyptian not to arrest Morsi or his supporters. Obama is clearly upset that an extremist Muslim president was overthrown by a more moderate government. He never warned Egypt not to imprison Mubarak, isn't that interesting.

After Pakistan harbored Bin Laden he didn't threaten to cut U.S. aid. Afterwards American seals killed Bin Laden Pakistanis instead of apologizing for harboring him rioted against the United States but Obama didn't cut off aid to Pakistan. Pakistan are torturing the Doctor who gave us the intel to get Bin Laden (if he's still alive) and Obama didn't even say "release him if you want aid". Yet when a Muslim extremist is overthrown in Egypt Obama is ready to cut off aid. In fact he threatened Egypt with cutting off aid once before and that was in order to force the Egyptian army to overthrow Mubarak.
