Vice President Omar Suleiman has just announces that the Supreme Military Council is in charge of Egypt and Hosni Mubarak has stepped down. The protesters in the square are cheering.
Nobody knows the next step.

If a president has to be “held accountable” for all the bad things that happen on his watch, then by rights he should be accorded some kudos when good things happen, also. So maybe a brief re-cap of recent events in the Middle East is in order:
Tunisia – Ben Ali is gone; Yemen – Saleh says he’s not running again; Algeria – ends 19-year rule under State of Emergency “laws”; Egypt – Mubarak is now gone
While Pres. Obama has disappointed me numerous times, it’s a helluva of lot better Middle East foreign policy record to run on then Bush ever gave us (But I’ll admit that bar is pretty low.)
I agree, but one can hardly say that he is responsible for the events cascading through the middle east. They occurred in spite of, bit because of the US.
Hey, if we protest loud enough and long enough do you think we could get republicans to step down? 😈
More likely they would bring out Blackwater, aka Xe, aka the GOP SS, to kill us.

Well, we could get them to move to Dubai.
