    Makes me sad. Reminds me of the Obama moment. Disillusionment follows.

    Well, I’m optimistic about Egypt and really happy for the people. And, as for the Obama movement, I still support President Obama and am not disillusioned.

    Yes, I hope that the euphoria in Egypt is not misplaced, and it is better than what was the status quo. I was just reminded of a similar euphoria on election night in 2008, but though I’m glad that was the result, we didn’t get the president we thought we were getting. We thought we, too, had a revolution but we are struggling just to keep the status quo.

    After reading Ms. Armentrout’s comment #1 I asked myself when I thought the United States of America’s disillusionment ended. There are times when I am not sure that it has… and I am not sure that I want it to.

    Good luck to Egypt. There is now much work to be done. It will take time and fortitude and there will indeed be setbacks along the way.

    We should do all we can to suppurt her and her people.
