Morsi breaks the law. Newton's First Law that is!

Newton's 1st law is the "Law of Inertia" and states:

 Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
So basically an object in motion continues in motion unless another force affects it. Now we know what the law is. How did Dr. Morsi break it? 



Since Dr. Morsi has been elected into power, many promises have been made, 100 day programs have been planned, and even shows of humility have been staged. This is the 5th day since Dr. Morsi has officially taken office and yesterday and today have read nothing new about him. No new decisions have been taken, no debates have been raised. Why the sudden drop in momentum?

The only piece of news today was about Dr. Morsi observing the graduation of the latest class from the Naval Academy. Really? Have we achieved everything and now it's time for formalities? Even yesterday, I couldn't find anything important enough to write about! Have the poor been fed, jobs been filled, streets cleaned and bedtime stories read that we have time for formalities ?! If you're working on the "down-low" I believe we need to know. 85 million minus 5 lives (Morsi's family) are at stake here. 

Dr. Morsi, do you realize that this job, we the people, hired you for, isn't an easy job? Do you realize that its a 24 hour a day job? Did you know that you will be losing sleep, friends, time with family? But in return, it comes with great power. Power that should be used to make history! 

Stress is part of the job

When I started this blog, I expected an avalanche of updates, almost to the point I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to keep up. But now, five days in, the MorsiMeter stands at 0/64. If you can't keep up, you shouldn't have applied for the job. 

In Summary (thanks for the correction Sharif), Being the president of Egypt isn't a walk in the park. True there are formalities associated with the job. But priorities should be given to addressing the promises you made, not attending graduation parties.

I would have been rather skeptical if had announced a long to do list within the first few days of his presidency as it could have proved a little bit too ambitious. I see where you are coming from but would give the man a bit more time. I am assuming there is a substantial amount of cleaning up that needs to be done before one will see the implementation of initiatives....I could be wrong but my guess is that give him a chance and he will reveal a positive social agenda.

Any candidate knew what they were up against. There is no time for "give them time to adjust/clean up/learn-the-ropes". If he had time to attend a graduation event, he could have had time to do more important things. It's all about priorities.
