President Barack Obama and Egypt President
Hosni Mubarak:
Many Egyptians find the fact that Mubarak has
outlasted five
U.S. presidents to be a sign that the Egyptian
political system
is in a sad state of
repair. Using America as a foil, the author,
Mohammad Abdul Qudus, makes it clear that he thinks its time
for Mubarak and his clan to
relinquish power.

If
America Can Change, Why Not Egypt?
"In
America, there's a system of government that one must respect, even if we would
disagree with it one hundred percent of the time. Because there, the president's
powers are restricted and in any case, his period in office cannot exceed eight
years!"

Egypt - Amal Al Ummah - Original Article (Arabic)
On the occasion of the visit
by American President "Barack Hussein Obama" to our country, I would say
that the U.S. has an administration that is capable of correcting its mistakes.
Because in America, there's a system of government that one must respect, even
if we would disagree with it one hundred percent of the time. Because there, the
president's powers are restricted and in any case, his period in office cannot
exceed eight years!
Unfortunately in our case, mistakes
accumulate because here we have no change, for the president retains absolute
power for his entire life - and is now looking forward having his son inherit this
legacy!! What a wonder!
