Egypt's "Lotus Revolution"

Egyptian anti-government protesters gathered in Tahrir (Liberation) square, watch a screen showing U.S. President Barack Obama live on a TV broadcast from Washington DC, speaking about the situation in Egypt, early Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011.

5. He is not a "prophet" He is an elected President here...

His job is to solve problems here. His job activities include foreign policy as it is, but his number one concern is that he was HIRED for our problems, right here, and how to solve them.

Post like this are utterly insulting. Millions without shelter, healthcare, food, jobs, but monument building movement continues at a furious pace still.

7. I am glad he's getting respect from people overseas, vastly

unlike his predecessor. Why you think that is a problem is beyond me. As even you said, his job activities include foreign policy; this is a BFD now in Egypt, and we finally have a president with finesse who actually knows what diplomacy is.

9. I'm listening to protesters this morning saying "Obama! Please do something to help us!"

.... now, one could argue whether he should "do something" or whether he's done enough but what one CANNOT argue is that you woudln't hear anyone begging for Bush (or a whole lot of other folks) to "do something to help us!"
