    And The Obama Administration is - once again - looking quite clueless about this situation. Geez...

    Mubarak must be one of the biggest idiots in history. If he doesn't change his tune, and quick, this could get very ugly for him.

    How do you figure? Obama has issues two public statements backing the Egyptian people in the last 24 hours.

    Because everything Obama does is bad. However, Republicans are liking this.

    Republicans Welcome Obama Administration's Fannie, Freddie Plan - WSJ.com

    may deserve it's own thread.


    back to Egypt. I think the administration is doing a fine job. It's a slippery slope, and I think they have handled it well.
