Introducing the "Morsi Meter!"

Introducing the "Morsi Meter!"
The Morsimeter was created by Zabatak.com which says it will monitor Egypt's President-elect Mohammed Morsi

Welcome to democracy, Mr. Morsi.

Egypt’s President-elect faces many challenges – chief among them, balancing the promise of the Arab Spring with the power of Egypt’s military.

Those same crowds that cheered his name in Tahrir Square will be watching President Morsi’s every move. And thanks to a new website, they will have a way to monitor his first hundred days in office.

It’s called the "Morsi Meter!”

On Monday, Wael Ghonim the Google executive who was arrested during the revolution, tweeted a link to the new website http://www.morsimeter.com

Created by Zabatak.com, a non-profit initiative, “The Morsimeter” is dedicated to making Egypt “bribery free, corruption-free and safe.”

With Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) maintaining widespread control and the new president’s authority still undefined, the question for now might be: Just how much is there to meter on the "Morsi Meter?"

    For the editor of cnn: whats written in Morsi meter website is not the main and important promises. I think this is done by Morsi's party and they want to let people concentrate on the promises mentioned in this site and forget major and critical promises.

      For most Egyptians, me included, what is written there are the immediate, daily challenges that needs immediate attention. It is the most needed relief every one would hope for before moving further on.

    How typical. No mention even of the promise to

    1. "be the President for all Egyptians"
    2. "that everyone will have equal rights"
    3. "that nobody will dominate over another"

    The world had welcome Mr. Morsi as the next President of Egypt. He haven't taken his oath of office yet. For most Egyptian this is something they've been waiting for in past decades of dictator rules. They are putting hopes of more openness in a democratic reforms. The President has just begin his journey to bring changes for all Egyptian. So, lets hope he'll be able to commit his promises during the election campaign. Changes will definitely come without any doubt, but will take some time to reconstruct the political landscape. We have to look at everything from an international perspective. A sensible way of judging and comparing situations so that Egyptian do not imagine something drastic is more serious than it really is.

    With a marginal win of 51.73% against his opponent, the incoming president, Mr. Morsi will not going to have an easy ride to his office. But he has pledged to be a leader for all Egyptians. Looking at the situation over his victory over Ahmad Shafik (that aligned with the military), the joyous scenes in Cairo Tahrir Square were dampened by the interim military junta. Let hope the 'revolution' continues.
