Egypt Protesters Flood Cairo As Obama Urges Mubarak Not To Run Again

Obama to Mubarek, "Don't run again"???

I swear this guy is tone deaf.  He does stall and 'kick the can down the road' more than any politician I've ever seen (and I'm a real FDR Democrat).

As George Will said of Obama's candidacy for the presidency when Democratic critics were saying he was too young, it wasn't his turn, etc., "When the girl is up on her toes, kiss her."

The momentum for a populist democracy is there now.  The Egyptian people are up on their toes; they're not going to wait until September.  They want Mubarek gone now, not hanging around for another 8 months to tamper with elections, put a puppet candidate in.  

This is really the lesson for us, the American people, about how the elites in power never stop trying to manipulate the system and us, to the bitter end, when it seems that they should realize they should give up and accept the inevitable­.  They never do, and more often than not, they prevail because we give in.  We 'compromis­e'.  And through our 'reasonabl­eness', we find ourselves in the situation we're in now -- Our fortunes spent and in the pockets of the top 2%, while we're left with the shards of the American Dream.
