He can’t quit you, Egypt.

@jaketapper

A man who blamed Al-Jazeera for revolution and not his people’s demands for freedom is not the man to lead Egypt toward democracy.

@monaeltahawy

People say what’s happening in Egypt would never happen here because of our government. Actually, it’d never happen because of our apathy.

@marcusgilmer

This speech will go down in history as the dumbest speech ever delivered by a dictator.

@asadabukhalil

So, denial is a river in Egypt?

Mubarak says vaguely that he’ll lift emergency law some time in the future when time is right … with help of the tooth fairy.

@NickKristof

Mubarak is like that really awkward guy who won’t leave the party even though he’s ruining it for everyone else.

@lauribaby

Genuine question: How exactly does Mubarak think this story ends? Could he really think there’s some vindication in store for him?

@sethdmichaels

Just told BBC nobody knows what’s going on in Mubarak’s head; Egypt wanted to hear him say he was leaving and now furious.
