President Barack Obama, expressing impatience with the pace of the transition to democracy in Egypt, said President Hosni Mubarak’s announcement that he would cede some powers failed to provide a “clear and unambiguous” statement that the needed changes are being made.
In a written statement issued hours after Mubarak delivered a televised address last night, Obama said the Egyptian people remain unconvinced that the government is serious about a transition to democracy.
