President Obama you should be watching Al Jazeera right now
A lady crying and talking to the reporter from Tahrir square. She is asking why is Mubarak still in there? Where is help? Sound of heavy gunfire in the background.

Protesters are surrounded and have no where to go.

5. I read a piece saying that the WH was only one of a few places in the US that
could get AJE, and that they had it on along with our networks, constantly and were monitoring them. Hopefully he catches this piece.

14. Well, there's a revolution taking place in Egypt. Hadn't you heard?
Al Jazeera easily has the best coverage of the action as it happens.

Why shouldn't he be watching?

8. What can he do that he hasn't done?
I am sure he is seeing this too. Can he make Mubarak tow any line? Should he send in troops?

9. Obama and the US should stay out of this
We've meddled in other's affairs for way too long. This is up to the Egyptians to resolve.

10. Obama is no longer talking to Mubarak. He's dialoguing with the military.
I read that in an earlier thread tonight.

12. Obama is NOT the president of the world.
There is just so much that we (USA) can do and have a right to do.
This is the revolution of the Egyptian people and the future of Egypt is in the hands of the Egyptian people.

16. Yeah, but the dictator is one of our thugs.
Maybe he should tell the mutherfucker to stop shooting unarmed, peaceful protesters.

13. What do you imagine Obama is doing right now?
I'm pretty sure he's not flipping through the channels to see if there's any good movies on tonight.

17. He's brainstorming with all his dumb-ass advisors.
Trying to figure out a scenario to keep his brutal thug in power as long as possible.

Anything else you need to know, just ask.
