Newsmax Egypt Source:
Obama Out of Touch
Sunday, January 30, 2011
The Egyptian people are increasingly tired of the Obama
administration’s tepid response to the international call for President
Hosni Mubarak to step down, a Newsmax source in Cairo says.
“If the U.S. is claiming to be the leader of the free world, now is the
time to side with the Egyptian people,” said Ahmed, who lives in Cairo
and has been speaking to Newsmax via landline since protests began six
days ago. “Now is not the time for diplomacy, but for dramatic
decisions.”
Ahmed, whose full name is not being disclosed by Newsmax to prevent any
reprisals for him and his family, said President Barack Obama and U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are losing credibility quickly and
appear out of touch by not calling for Mubarak to leave immediately and
let democracy take its course.
Egyptians have been watching news reports of American reactions to six
days of protests. On Sunday, Hillary Clinton made the morning talk show
circuit, calling the situation in Egypt “complex” and repeating the
administration’s preference for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
She stopped short of calling for Mubarak to leave.
