Critique of Hosni's sitcom

You didn't forget Samir Ragab, did you? Well, he's finally starting to criticize Hosni Mubarak. Now I know that the path to democracy has started. Here's his harsh criticism:

إنني أقول للرئيس مبارك اليوم:
اسمح لي أن أختلف معك ـ ربما للمرة الأولي منذ أن توليت قيادة هذا البلد عام 1981 ـ لأن إنجازاتك هي كتابك الذي حملته بيمينك ودونت في كل صفحة من صفحاته المضيئة بالعمل. والعلم. والاجتهاد. والتعب.. سجلاً حافلاً يشهد التاريخ بعظمته وروعته.
كيف تقدم برنامجاً انتخابياً.. والناس في عصرك لم يتمتعوا بالأمان والأمن. والاستقرار.. إلا وأنت معهم وهم معك.. طعامك طعامهم.. شرابهم شرابك.. مصيركما واحد.. وآمالكمـا مشـتركة.. إذا جاءهم يوماً من يحاول أن يقض مضاجعهم.. تكون أول من يبادر باجتثاث جذور الشر من أجل أن يعم الخير.. وأن يهنأ المجتمع.. صغيره قبل كبيره.. ومعارضه قبل مؤيده.. وفقيره قبل ثريه

Here's the translation for those who don't know what criticism means.

I say to President Mubarak today:
Allow me to disagree with you, maybe for the first time since you took responsibility to lead this country in 1981, because your achievements is your book that you held with your right hand, [b]logging in every page of its pages that is shinning with knowledge, hard work, and effort, a record that history will witness its greatness and awesomeness.

How can you provide an elections campaign program, and people in your era did not enjoy safety, security, and stability, except with you being with them and they with you.. your food is their food.. their drink is your drink.. one destiny for both of you.. shared hopes.. If someone tries to disrupt their peace of mind, you are the first to dismantle the roots of evil in order for goodness to spread.. and for the society to become joyous.. its weak before its powerful.. and its opposition before its allies.. and its poor before its rich.
