5. Hoping he'll do something to help the unemployment in NYC

8. We'd get mowed down like weeds. Our military is very different in size and mindset

from Egypt's. Plus, all we really know about Egypt so far is that the same military that was behind Mubarak is still in control, only no more Mubarak.
