Bi-Partisan Consensus: Time For Mubarak To Go Away


You know it's time for something to happen (or maybe it's the huge storm?) when Mitt Romney and John Kerry agree on something. Yeah, both are from Massachusetts and both ran for President, but they agree on basically nothing. Except for the situation in Egypt.

John Kerry wrote an op-ed in the New York Times calling for Mubarak to step down on nationalistic grounds. Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Mubarak should step down in the interest of his nation, and because the people no longer consent to his governance. Kerry went so far as to say Mubarak and his son must both not run for President this year.

Mitt Romney became the first 2012 potential Presidential candidate to call for Mubarak's departure, but at the same time said the President was right to not call for it explicitly. Romney's statement seemed to mirror Congressional Republican statements, which seemed to stress unity with the President.

Be careful folks. Hell might freeze over.
