Vice President Omar Suleiman: in touch?

Egypt must wait for a culture of democracy to develop.
Only what Mubarak says is possible, is possible.
The demonstrators are part of the Islamic current.
The ideas for reform came from abroad, not from Egypt.
People should go back to work.

What she revealed in ignorance, she compensated for with earnestness and eye contact.
