According to media reports, President Obama (almost) resolved the spiraling Egyptian crisis in one “private message” to Hosni Mubarak. “Mubarak Promise Comes After Private Obama Message”AP reports.
President Obama is firmly in charge and appears to finally be calling the shots. In a bold, presidential moment, Obama said Tuesday evening that he has told Mubarak that a transition to representative government “must begin now.”
We visited Egypt in 1990. We spent time with an Egyptian family that we knew through medical contacts in the US. Our host had a holiday house near the Suez canal. He made it a point to show us where the Israelis had crossed the Suez Canal during the Yom Kippur war. I don’t know what he thought we would think, and we stayed non-committal in our discussion. We stayed in touch. He later came to our city for surgery, following in the footsteps of many Arab potentates, and we visited him as he recovered. Since 9/11/2001, we have not heard from him. Well, that’s not quite true; when his email catches a virus we get spammed,
Hilarious…..as Dave alludes to in this post, the MSM is begging to help Obama out but the man, and his administration, just won’t let them.

The chaos in Egypt as presented by the MSM is one of an oppressed population fed up with years of totalitarian rule using the Internet to spontaneously cry for their freedom. The MSM from the beginning has been characterizing President Barack Obama as the one calling for peace, reason and restraint from the demonstrators and the Egyptian government. The MSM for it’s part is playing the Egyptian government’s efforts to protect itself and calm civil unrest as the efforts of an oppressive government attempting to crush the people’s aspiration for freedom.
Interesting to watch the changes coming in the middle east and to think….President Bush was behind much of this.
“We have seen our vulnerability – and we have seen its deepest source. For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny – prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder – violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders, and raise a mortal threat. There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.”
As protests become even larger it appears that Egyptian President Mubarak has asked his government to resign:
Embattled President Hosni Mubarak says he has asked his Cabinet to resign in his first appearance on television since protests erupted demanding his ouster.
In every community there is a guy who doesn’t seem to be wrapped too tight or whose bubble is a little off center. In the Peace county we had one …
Since the events of 9/11, the question has often been asked, “Where are the moderate Muslims who condemn Islamic extremism/terrorism?”
In the wake of a New Year’s Eve suicide bombing of the Church of the Two Saints in Alexandria, which left 23 Coptic Christians dead, tensions have been running even higher in Egypt between its Christian minority (9%) and Muslim majority (90%), although the Bishop of the Church downplays the sectarian tensions.
January 7th Coptic Christians celebrated their Christmas; and in a show of solidarity, a number of Muslims showed up to Christmas services to serve as “human shields”:
6,000 words and half of them mush! I’ve only started going through the speech President Obama delivered in Cairo Thursday. Full text is here. The first thing that struck me …
