"The people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard"

I have been following trend of the revolution in Egypt for the past couple of weeks. Now that the “Egyptians voices were heard,” like many others I was wondering what President Obama’s reaction will be to Mubarak stepping down from office? In this FoxNews article I found that the President of United States congratulated and applauded the successful protesters. He compared this achievement to the fall of Berlin wall and added that the Egyptians are an inspiration because of their “nonviolent activism.”

Hosni Mubarak has been a long term, expensive ally to United States, $1.3 Billion annual military aid. However, President Obama did not mention his name in the statement and only said “we will continue to be a friend and partner to Egypt." Obama warned that there are “difficult days ahead,” but expressed his confidence in the capability of Egyptian people to achieve a democracy peacefully that “brings all the Egypt’s voices to the table.”
