Cheat Sheet - The Age of Obama: Strong Government and a Weak America

Today: Thousands Protest in Egypt , Obama Announces 'Power Africa' , Southwest Heat Wave Kills One June 30, 2013 WHAT IS GOING ON? 1. The Age of Obama: Strong Government and a Weak America The Age of Obama, writes The Daily Beast's Lloyd Green, is mandated healthcare, crony capitalism, and First Family TV spots as modern iteration of bread and circuses.

Thousands gathered in Cairo on Sunday as part of a mass protest against President Morsi that called for his resignation, while his supporters held a competing rally at the presidential palace. Sunday marks the first anniversary of Morsi's inauguration, and his opponents have spent the past three days in mass protests against his rule. Although there are still many Egyptians who believe that Morsi was democratically elected and should carry out his term in office, a grassroots organization Tamarod claimed to have signatures from 22 million Egyptians calling for the president's resignation.  Tamarod has vowed to continue their protests until Morsi resigns, but they face steep odds of being able to hold large rallies: July heat in Cairo is brutal and Ramadam begins July 8th.

Obama Announces 'Power Africa' President Obama announced on Sunday a $7 billion aid program called "Power Africa" that aims to bring more electricity to sub-Saharan African. An estimated two-thirds of South Africans do not have access to electricity—and that number climbs up to 85 percent in rural areas. It will take an estimated $300 billion to fully supply the continent with power, and the $7 billion U.S. aid will not only provide technical assistance, but also grants and tools for risk mitigation. Meanwhile, Obama is due to visit Robben Island, the notorious prison where South African President Nelson Mandela was held for 18 years. Obama does not have any plans to visit Mandela, who is in the hospital. Read it at The Washington Post FATAL 4. Southwest Heat Wave Kills One Temperatures in the Southwest topped 100 on Saturday as forecasters warned the extreme heat could last for days. In Las Vegas, where temperatures reached 115 degrees, an elderly man was found dead in his un-air conditioned house on Saturday from a cardiac arrest believed to have been from the heat. Las Vegas paramedics said they responded to two other heat-related medical calls, a callback to the 2005 heatwave that killed 17. Flights at Phoenix airports were halted on Saturday after the temperature hit 119 degrees—planes are certified to take off only up to 118 degrees. Excessive heat warnings have been issued for large parts California, Nevada, and Arizona through Tuesday night. Read it at CNN BUMPONOMICS 5. How Much Is the Royal Baby Worth? According to a study released last week by the British market-research firm Centre for Retail Research, the birth of Kate Middleton and Prince William's baby will infuse nearly $400 million into the British economy between July 1 and the end of August. For celebrities, writes The Daily Beast's Lauren Streib, pregnancy holds a unique value.
