BBC: Obama Administration wants Mubarek out now
The BBC's Kim Ghattas in Washington says: "I just spoke to a senior US official, who confirmed that Frank Wisner met President Mubarak and told him he should not seek re-election or put forward his son, Gamal, as his successor. The Americans are now waiting for an answer. However, the official also said that even if Mr Mubarak did not seek re-election, it was no longer enough. My understanding is that although they have not gone back to Mr Mubarak to say he must stand down immediately, they are hoping he has figured that out on his own.

3. Big deal. Hillary would have done it six weeks ago...
...Howard Dean would have done it back around Labor Day.

And Dennis Kucinich would have done it in 1991.
