His wife's mother is British, and her father was an Egyptian living in Britain at the time they met.

It’ll take him until September to transfer his pelf to Swiss bank accounts. Maybe there’s hope for Egypt if free elections are held-they’re kind of in the same boat we are.

Yup, and we know who planted it and why:

Al-Jazeera reports that the Egyptian Embassy in Tel Aviv is making preparations to welcome him into exile.

The L.A. Times claims Obama sent an envoy telling Mubarak he couldn't be part of a transition gov't. and described that message as being "rebuffed."

Mubarak is 82. Obama's going to regret the next party to come to power in Egypt and Jordan's seen a flare up of unrest as well. What a fiasco.
