no big player at this point but the charismatic leader is on social networking new media it's interesting with the two because he was pretty critical of the bush administration promoting democracy now he's becoming very critical of the obama administration not doing it i do think if someone like him can rise to the occasion we know there's a vacuum that has to be filled the question is is it someone like obama or is it someone like the muslim brotherhood there is also the concern the education and it's been pointed out by plenty of people in the united states that though these are student protests or using facebook and twitter let's not forget that in many of these government institutions it's not like they're being taught great things about the united states of speaking on our interest i think that's why it's important if we show a sign of solidarity we could change a lot of minds very quickly but i still want to know who do you think has the biggest chance of actually now taking power of this country because you know any of the students are out now like you said but the muslim brotherho

powerful, charismatic individuals lay down the mantle of the presidency, who in most places in the world would rule perpetually. they are obliged under our system to study democratic example here at home and to fashion sort of a new constitutional order. i think that there is a lot of drama in that. i also think it is possible that as the president surrenders power, to know this individual far better because the layers of official and the staff are being peeled away in what is left is the character, the individual who has made his impact on history. in going home to gore dwight eisenhower is not undertaking to theodore roosevelt in quite the same way, but he probably had plenty to doubt as he left washington in 1961, the defeat of the republicans in 1960 came as a very unpleasant surprise. dwight eisenhower had few illusions of what the defeat in 1960 minute for his political legacy and for the republican party. it was not quite as crushing or as direct in prc in 1912, but in many ways you could argue that it was more insidious because the setback to the i.c.e. our presence event was une
