This should be President Obama's "tear down this wall" moment. I have heard a reporter on MSNBC say that many of the protesters wanted President Obama to say more, to be more forceful.
This moment belongs to the protesters in Egypt. There can be no doubt of that.
President Obama's mature, measured statements that constantly called for immediate change. What happened behind the scenes we will not know for years to come. But the the public face of this President and his administration throughout this potentially volatile situation have been impeccable. This situation has had no open tone of anti-Americanism, but only of Egyptian patriotism.
Congratulations Egypt! Bravo Mr. President.
