Obama regarding Egypt's protesters:
"Addressing the nation from the White House after a day of rage across Egypt, Mr. Obama said he called Mr. Mubarak and told him 'to refrain from any violence against peaceful protesters' and to turn a 'moment of volatility' into a 'moment of promise.' Declaring that the protesters have universal rights, he said, 'The United States will continue to stand up for the rights of the Egyptian people.'"
