Quote:
"I am fed up. After 62 years in public service, I have had enough. I want to go," Mubarak said in a 20-minute interview with ABC's Christiane Amanpour Thursday at the presidential palace in Cairo.
In a phone conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama earlier this week, Mubarak said, "I told Obama, 'You don’t understand the Egyptian culture and what would happen if I step down now?'”

You know what, after all this, i'm kind of inclined to agree with him. I bet he will be out of office by weeks end, but then what? He made it worse by prolonging it and trying to hang onto power. Now things are a real mess. Hard to turn around and go back to work after this. Would have been easier last Friday. The country is going to spin out of control.
And nice to see that he's making time to speak with ABC instead of speaking to, ya know, the people of Egypt...
