touting the fact that 80% of the speech was going to be about the economy and domestic issues, only 20% about national security. because a lot of americans that's what they want to hear, the heavy focus the president has. but here we are just within three days and suddenly this big international and national security issue has vaulted to the top of this president's agenda. but you're right. he also could, on his own, schedule another event, come out and make some comments. thus far this president has not done that. now that robert gibbs has put out this tweet putting pressure on the egyptian government, you wonder if later this afternoon, tonight we may see the president. have no idea whether we will. but as international pressure ratchets up on the egyptian government to stop, and there's pressure on this white house to stand up for the protestors, we may very well see the president if not today over the weekend. who knows. >> we've been expecting president mubarak to speak for the next hour.
