What it takes

If I understand the president correctly, when a few thousand people go into the streets protesting, looting and burning, the leader of that country should step down.
But, isn't it strange? That's what happened in the 1960s and Lyndon Johnson stayed in office -- at least until the next election.
The current president says the head of Egypt should not wait that long.
Tea Party protests were peaceful. But apparently if they had been a bit more vocal, we would have a new president now.
The downside is that it would be Joe Biden, who may be one of the stupidest people ever to hold public office.
