Tim Pawlenty accused President Barack Obama on Sunday of not being clear enough in opposing the Muslim Brotherhood taking over in Egypt. Pointing to the president's interview ahead of last Sunday's Super Bowl on Fox News, Pawlenty said Obama should have been firm in stating that the United States does not want the group to gain power. "The president of the United States ducked the question on whether the Muslim Brotherhood should be running Egypt," Pawlenty said on ABC's "This Week." "And I’m telling you they should not be running Egypt."
Pawlenty also attacked the administration for cutting aid to non-governmental organizations in Egypt, as well as the policy of past administrations of propping up ousted leader Hosni Mubarak.
"History shows that authoritarian regimes offer only a false stability," said the former Minnesota governor, who's weighing a bid for the Republican presidential nomination
