Dr. Hesham Qandil, chosen by Dr. Morsi to be Egypt's Prime Minister

Dr. Morsi has chosen the first (and most crucial) member of his cabinet, the prime minister. The prime minister should be a person that has proven themselves in getting things done. We're talking a class A executive. A person that deliver results and leave the planning to others. And who did we get with this choice? Dr. Hesham M. Qandil. Why baffling? We not the choice about who, but more why? I have not seen Dr. Qandil's CV to judge whether or not is he capable of being a top class government executive. But I have questions about the choice.
Some will say don't judge yet, wait and see. We the issue I have here is that Dr. Qandil has already had a chance to prove himself. He's been the Minister of Irrigation since Dr. Sharaf becoming Prime Minister. So not only is he technically from a pre-morsi cabinet, the one that Dr. Morsi's party the FJP wanted to withdraw confidence from previously, but i don't recall hearing about him or his accomplishments. Again I am not judging Dr. Qandil yet, but the question remains out of 82 million individuals, is this the best Egypt has to offer?
In Summary, Dr. Morsi seems to be making the same mistake that President Nasser made previously by surrounding himself with people of loyalty rather than people of knowledge. Will this lead to the same problems that has stunted Egypt's growth before. To para-quote a famous Indiana Jones movie, "Choose, Morsi. But, choose wisely".

Morsi is the worst joke ever! Let alone his decisions! Was he even credible to be a president - obviously not but financially he managed to pull it off with bribing poor/ignorant people whom the previous government worked hard on devloping over 30 yrs- to ensure that post any revolution majority of 80+ million are ignorant enough to shoot themselves in the foot with a big smile!!! Poverty, ignorance, and lack of honesty and morals is our biggest enemy so ur pretty much surround by enemies ! Who will work on that the new president ?! I doubt his suspected to be enemy no.1 to me, u and our enemies (i.e ignorant gullable ppl/ average egyptian.. who has no bread but plenty of dope, no money to marry but enough guts to rape, no knowledge but smart enough to make terrible choice, no medicine but healthy enough to seek guilty pleasures of life, no values but man enough to judge and attack others based on assumptions)
Just looking back at abul nasser he was a crook who used the ppl to raise a revolution that stood for "from the ppl and for the ppl" , "freedom and equality for all" but ended up killing his closest friends who had different opnions, and changing the constitution to fuel the dictatorship that followed him! For gods sake what was that revolution about ? From a king to another king! He came from a poor class with envy + power = you get a monster hungry for power and domination. Where does democracy come in this equation !? Not possible
yrs later what do we have another revolution hi-jacked by another "nobody" hungry for power - he used the name of the revolution to ride the people and spread his own philosophies that was suppressed by the previous government - do u think anyone who was suppressed before understand democracy or knows how to implement it??? Watch the mu3takalat all over again for those who dare to have a different opnion. El gawab bayeen men 3enwanu - recruit ppl with similar ideologies so democracy becomes "what morsi says is right" "wat morsi wants is done". Where is the democracy ??
I hear he is a traitor, with a foreign agenda on hand... So r we not only going into dictatorship again but used and abused for some other country's agenda (again) not the usa this time! Or maybe it is! Who knows
Egypt will never be freed without dropping the "1 man runs the show" constitution ! Ppl need to rule for real and by people I mean- not the ikwan they don't even count as egyptians - their loyalty is not to the country they are loyal to their own kind and network of ikwan around the world! They are a network (select individuals) with a seperate agenda. Never trust a group that has to meet a strict criteria. Never trust a group that labeled itself. The only label is "egyptian". Anything on top of that would mean ur leaning towards certain ideologies that is not common in a society.
Being a muslim or a christian shud not even be labelled further. Sunni, shiat, othrodox, catholic - is all divisions created to divide ppl to build a base of loyalists but the beneficiary is always a hand full of ppl who benefits from that fan base and hatered between brothers and sisters.
Just by adding additional "labels". Words are powerful but they are just words by the end of the day don't let those invsible beneficiaries fool into dividing amongst one another.
Watching an egyptian channel is becoming scary - its like the current IRAN or AFGHANISTAN in the making ! God bless u all I real fear for all of us from what tomorrow holds with this dark faces hiding behind the flag of islam and decency !
