Yep. President Obama made a statement Thursday morning on the violence in Egypt. As Twitchy reported, journalists and protesters are being shot, churches are being burned and the death toll is rising.
He was late to speak, natch. This Twitter user guesses why:

That’s right: The “coup” word is still not being uttered.
Do deaths make it a coup now? RT @marieharf: President Obama will deliver a statement at 10:15am on #Egypt.

Shorter but not legally binding. RT @NoahPollak: Obama mentions "military intervention" to remove Morsi. Shorter way of saying that: "coup"

#Breaking: President Barack Obama on Thursday cancelled planned joint military exercises with #Egypt, his strongest denunciation to date.

Isn’t he so strong and dreamy?! Squee!
CBS’ Margaret Brennan thinks so!
President Obama condemning & deploring violence in Egypt (strong words in diplomatic circles) & refers to coup as a military 'intervention'

Whatever, rubes! Y’all just don’t get the “diplomatic circles” nuance-y nuance.
Non-lapdogs rightly take the media to task.
@politico …but yet the slaughter continues. As does Barry's round of golf.

@politico Wow, scary. I think I hear a collective sigh of relief from those being slaughtered.

@politico They'll be crying in the F16s we gave them.

AP enters the mix:
BREAKING: Obama: US canceling joint military exercise with Egypt amid violence.
— The Associated Press (@AP) August 15, 2013
Dear @AP, you pro-Obama hacks, the "BREAKING" news is that Obama didn't do anything about aid to Egypt. FYI, you lapdog pieces of shit.
— RBe (@RBPundit) August 15, 2013
Tell us how you really feel!
What “news” did we get from Obama?
Obama says the US doesn't take sides and that Egypt must decide fate….after outing Mubarak….

Pathetic. Paper Tiger POTUS strikes again.
What can we expect from him next?
Watch out. Soon Obama will be threatening to send a very strongly worded letter.
