1. Dude just does not get it, does he?

Still thinks he can negotiate his way out of this.

[gateley]

3. Agree - like these people are going to listen to him now and go Oh, okay, let's go home. nt

[sufrommich]

5. I thhink he's going for #1 tone deaf dictator Guiness world record.

If that is his aim, you win Mubarak!

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. Any time a Dictator uses ' good solution' in a speech

makes me dubious after hearing about a so called 'final solution'

[gateley]

4. I got the impression that's the very phrase used in the press release because

Andrea Mitchell said 'quote, a good solution'.

He's impotent, nobody will be listening.

[Ichingcarpenter]

He wants to stay until September and won't run again

just heard that rumour.. ..... that shit won't fly.... that dog won't hunt

Reality keeps ruining his life

[gateley]

15. He doesn't call the shots anymore. He keeps gasping but it ain't gonna happen. nt

[bdamomma]

17. if he does say that, don't expect the people to go anywhere.

that is not acceptable. :hi:

oh crap, it's being reported on Al Jazeera this is what Obama said to not run again, oh crap this is not going to be good at all, the people want him out.

oh crap they are saying now the US will give their response too i.e no re election. oh, this is not going to fly with the Egyptian people.

6. 'Tonight' local or U.S. time?

:dilemma:

Just heard on AlJ 'soon.' Whatever.

[gateley]

10. MSNBC said they didn't have a time, so apparently it wasn't forthcoming from the soon to be

former "President".

:hi:

[elleng]

14. Hanging w AlJ!

:hi:

[gateley]

16. I know -- I'm hooked! nt

[bdamomma]

7. the only good solution

would be, if he just stepped aside, or will he just say he will not seek re election, the Egyptians are not going to take that.

[gateley]

11. They're just guessing now but they were supposing he'd say he won't run

for reelection. So what would his good solution be -- prime his new VP to take over when he resigns in 2012? I don't think so, dude.

At this point he's not calling the shots -- the people are.

[Newest Reality]

8. It appears that

any solution he offers is now clearly for himself.

From what the people of Egypt are making a clear point about, there is only one solution to him being the problem and that is: step down immediately!

[gateley]

12. I think Baradei said there will be no talking between opposition parties until

Mubarak has left the country.

[GodlessBiker]

9. He should go to France. As Jon Stewart said, they only behead their own despots.

[gateley]

13. Hahah! nt
