If the US government was overthrown it wouldn't be an overthrow of the actual structure, just the inhabitants. Replacing our current officials with individuals who value freedom, prosperity for all, and fiscal responsibility, we could have a much improved country.
A mass recall of a sort.
This happens every two years.
Except voters are too stupid to vote out incumbents.
Obama offered the Egyptian military billions on the day of the overthrow to keep Brother Morsi in power. Morsi was O's boy. The Egyptian people knew it even if the leftist sheeple in the US don't know it.
A link would be appreciated to confirm the above. There are links that say otherwise - that a US General spoke to a high military official (Sisi??) and warned him that US aid would be stopped if there was a military coup.
This is why leftists should not be allowed to vote .... or even reside in America .... but it certainly explains the absolute disgrace to which this country has become.
I'm actually thinking the opposite, let the dimwits have the House and let them own the chaos that ensues. It's not as if the Republicans are representing us anyway, or creating obstacles, so let the democrats have their way, and take full responsibility for what occurs. That is the only way the revolution will happen, and get people off the couch. Bring it on.

So why hasn't the administration called the coup a coup or stated that they will not provide military aid.

You must be kidding. The glitches in Obamacare are being blamed on the Republicans today.
And people believe it.
In 2010-2011 the Dems had the House, Senate and Oval Office and we got Obamacare out of it.
All else was blamed on Bush.
Then the House got Repubs. Now all the blame is placed on the House, including the bad portions of Obamacare.

Obama has stopped short of calling it a military coup. He has not officially declared the suspension of aid. There are "talks" going on. Between who, I don't know. It appears that the republicans support the military coup. They didn't trust Morsi to begin with and watching what he was doing during the one year he was president confirmed what they thought of him. Republicans are voicing strong support for the Egyptian military.
Meanwhile the Democrats are saying the law is clear.
It's looking more like "If we don't call it a coup by the military then it's not a coup by the military and if they hurry up and put a civilian in charge then it really wasn't a coup by the military."
And they told the military before the coup that we'd cut their money if they staged a coup.
They called our bluff. And they seem to have won because we haven't called it a coup and we haven't cut off their money.
John Bellinger, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, pointed out in his blog on Thursday that unlike many parts of the Foreign Assistance Act, the provision restricting foreign aid “does not include Presidential waiver authority.”
