Kind of a weird deja vue - caught most by surprise. Don't know what Morsi is thinking. I thought he was doing OK, given his party's record...and suddenly, out of the blue he assumes all powers. He says it is only for a period of two months.....but even if true, it sets a bad president...and what if it is not for only two months. Mubarak's ghost is back. Sad. Saddest are the riots in the streets again. Who or what is really behind all this? Why did Morsi decide this and why now? I think the fog will clear on these questions soon. Personally, it seemed out of character for him and that there was no need - that he could have managed the two months with the old Mubarak people in power in various places. Now, they have a better excuse to be re-instated by force or election, IMO.
