"Obama, shame on U"

his own people. They started this revolution and they should finish it. If it takes a while longer for it to genuinely succeed, so be it.

There should be no hint of "you protested so much that the American told Mubarak to leave". The resolution should belong solely to the Egyptian people - "we protested so much that Mubarak had no choice but to leave no matter what any foreigner wanted".

If Egyptians blame Obama now that's fine. The more they blame him, the more they will own the success of the revolution.

The days of cowboy boots and sabre rattling are OVER! This is what diplomacy looks like. It always has looked this way... too many have forgotten.

Egypt is a sovereign state not an American colony

I hear State Dept. saying they support the existing government and encourging existing gov. to make changes, while the Egyptian people are saying they will not accept current government, change or no.

As seen here:

huge disappointment, that guy

Looks like he's sent an Ambassador to show Mubarek to the door... after the appropriate diplomacy, of course.

I get that people don't recognize diplomacy anymore, but the call for saber rattling is pretty weird.

The US and who currently leads it is always a good candidate, even when its not fair.

They do not want Mubarak. It is very simple.

Not sure if this administration is getting the message.

and said, let the people decide. It would be heard around the world and would do the world such good. I don't think he will do it. But I'm prepared to wake up this afternoon (I'm a daysleeper - nightshifter) and be surprised. President Obama, surprise me. Knock my socks off. Sec. Clinton, knock my socks off.

He's made a public statement to Mubarek telling him to listen to the people. Hillary too. She even said it was wrong to cut off the InterTube access. That was step one. Mubarek was told to keep to what he said he was going to do, which was clearly lip service, and now the message is stronger.

Snip...


Obama sent retired ambassador Frank Wisner to Cairo to talk with Mubarak. Wisner, who served as U.S. ambassador to Egypt for presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, is known to have a close relationship with Mubarak and top Egyptian government officials.

Sources said Wisner was sent by Obama to deliver a message about how to best prepare for an "orderly transition" from the current government to one that respects democracy, economic and political reforms, and human rights.

The White House would not comment on whether Wisner has being tasked with gingerly showing Mubarak the door.

this is a new reality for America...

and not because of some secret American backed ................

...if they don't get change the blame will be placed squarely at the feet of the US heads of state.

We have given them billions of dollars to do our bidding. Mubarak is an employee of our empire.

They have been forced into a corner because of US policy. Our policy must radically change or there will be no change and no peace. It is our responsibility as to how many freedom seeking people will die tonight and tomorrow.
