Arizona senator and 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain is warning that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s decision not to step down could touch off “a much more dangerous situation,” and he called for the Obama administration to tell Mubarak he must resign immediately.
“The volatility of the situation was already very high,” McCain said on Fox News, “and I think it’s been ratcheted up dramatically.
“I think the United States had better be more clear in our message to President Mubarak, that we are very clear in our message that he needs to step down,” McCain said.
Asked by host Neil Cavuto if the Obama administration should call for Mubarak to step down immediately, McCain replied, “Yes.”

It’s a good thing that Juan McCain has solved the devastating effects of illegal immigration in AZ so he can stick his wrinkled nose into the affairs of the Egyptians.

John W: McCain should call for Obama to resign.
What make McCain think that Obama has that much influence with Mubarak that he would listen?
Actually it would put the US in a much weaker position if Obama made such a demand and it was ignored.
McCain thinks he’s Napoleon. But even Napoleon had an army in Egypt to enforce his diktats.
It is not the place of the President of the United States to tell any leader of a sovereign nation that he should resign, and it is certainly not Obama’s place to tell a real President to do so. We need to stay out of Egypt’s internal affairs, at least to the extent of not making things worse. Interfering would embolden the West’s enemies, and that would not be a good thing - so much so that I’m surprised Obama hasn’t done so.
