WASHINGTON – Bristling with impatience, President Barack Obama on Thursday openly and sharply questioned whether Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's pledge to shift power to his vice president is an "immediate, meaningful or sufficient" sign of reform for a country in upheaval.
Without naming Mubarak, Obama issued a written statement that criticized the leader for not offering clarity to his people or a concrete path to democracy. He called on Egyptian government leaders to do so, declaring: "They have not yet seized that opportunity."

Mubarak may be 80 odd yrs old but i still think he could take oblabo down with one punch.
It’s beginning to look and sound like our Sewer Trout in Chief may actually be heading this rouse in the streets of Cairo. The Arabs may put the “crosshairs” on him now.
Norm, I think Obama has just had his Bay of Pigs.
That did not portend too well for JFK, did it? Like Mark Levin said tonight on his show, spreading democracy to countries that aren’t our allies is a noble and just cause. But to our long-standing allies?
Yes that is the problem with the APA. They change diagnosis with the current wind changes. Maybe the WH called and told them they don’t thin Narcissism is a problem.
Mubarak originally said he was going to stay until the transition was completed.
Then when Obama spoke to him he said he was going to stay until the transition was competed.
Then today he said he was going to stay until the transition was completed.
So you can understand why this would confuse the administration.
So, Egypt isn’t sovereign after all. Paper released an ocean away, written by person(s) unknown, tell the country what to do.
On the Internet, no less.
He was a constitutional scholar and President of the Harvard Law Review, that should count for something dammit! /s
Response from Egypt: Blow me
It’s not only Egypt. China, Russia and Saudi Arabia have stated they are backing Mubarek. George Soros will have to wait a little while longer on that NWO thing.
Remember obamma's showing his big nose in Honduras? I pray obamma fails big-time in Egypt!!!
From incompetence rather than intent.
Barry is remarkably in over his head.
Hey Barry, if you are displeased with Mubarak’s move, why don’t you lead by example and resign yourself??
“Yes that is the problem with the APA. They change diagnosis with the current wind changes. Maybe the WH called and told them they don’t thin Narcissism is a problem.”
Honest to goodness, without a shred of sarcasm, I would not be the least surprised if some WH flunky managed to communicate to the APA lefties that very thing. Obots are all about image, and it doesn’t help to have their guy called a narcissist several hundred times a day. So they opt for a very communist solution: rewrite history, and change the meaning of the words.
Scary stuff.
zero x 2 = zero still
There is a lovely Somali woman who volunteers at my kids school, I have spoken to her about what she thinks about it all. And yes she is here legally. She believes that a chaotic transition will get people killed. She doesn't like Mubarak, she says he is bad, very very bad. Yet, she also says that if Egypt is to prosper, then the transition must be done slowly and with control. Otherwise the extremists (Muslim Brotherhood) will come in just like in Iran. This is from someone who risked her life to get to America, and had to wait as her family back hole died in the chaos there. There is nothing like a first hand account of Islamic extremism and what it costs the little guys.
Literally, Obama pushing for a fast transition, is asking for death, destruction, and chaos. From that chaos, the most violent bastards will win. Wonder who that would be... maybe the same guys willing to strap bombs onto their fellow muslims.....
Obama is pushing for an extremist government similar to the one which over-ran Iran. Its DISGUSTING. Immoral, and utterly pathetic.
Only Jimmah Carter comes close to the utter stupidity of Obama on Foreign Policy. And Obama right now has him beat by whole universes.
LOL
That was brilliant!!!
But really, next time tell us how you really feel! LOL
I was waiting for Obama to use that old Obamism: There’s a car stuck in a ditch in Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood Members in it and I’m the only One trying to pull it out of the ditch that Pres. Mubarak put it in????
Geez, this guy just keeps lowering the bar with perpetual acts of stupidity and fecklessness.
Just shut up and butt out 0bama.
Go do something that doesn’t hurt our country anymore than you already have, like play golf or eat ice cream.
Feed the wookie a side of waygu to keep her quiet as well. It’s cheaper than paying for the crap you keep trying to enact.
What a ‘tard.
The Brown Clown needs to STFU about Egypt.
This will spread, they are not the only ones feeling hunger.
