Following Egyptian President Mubarak’s decision that he would not seek re-election, President Obama gave a statement praising the Egyptian military for keeping the peace thus far and urging them to continue to ensure that this time of change remains peaceful. He recognized that the Egyptian people are the only ones who can determine their leader, and declared that “an orderly transition must be meaningful, it must be peaceful, and it must begin now.”

Watch the clip from CNN below:

That was a cool of him to give the Egyptian military props. They’ve earned them. They’ve done a really good job in a really messy situation.

True. If only Daddy Bush would have stated something similar to China in June ’89.

Meaning, in situations like this people (not governments) world-wide STILL look to the United States as The Leader of The Free World

Now to make the news really good, Obama should announce that HE will not run again.

He suggests that the Egyptian people should make their own decisions, but totally ignores what the American people want here. What a hypocrite!

How’s he gonna top his ’08 acceptance speech? Since he’s going to Charlotte, NC perhaps he can make an entrance like “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair. The Theme to “2001: The Oddessy”, the robe, the Championship Belt, “The Limoscene Ridin’, Air Force One Flyin’, Wheelin’, Dealin’, Wealth Stealin’, Son of a Marxist!!!!!!!!”

He may be ignoring what you want but many of us are happy. Sorry but I am sure you will get your chance to be happy one of these days. Like 2016.

Yep. Your right, and talking about decisions. What about National Health Care being declared null and void by a Federal Judge! How come we hear nothing from him about that!

Do I have to go into an explanation of what is wanted and what is right again?

Maybe you should make the news really good and just go away? And does your post denote that you don’t believe that there’s a Republican who can beat him?

Regardless of politics, in foreign policy matters, The Office of The Presidency represents ALL of us Americans. I know what was done to W during his terms, but two wrongs don’t make a right, IMHO
