ElBaradei for President?

I really feel like a dope when it comes to Egypt. I know so little about the country. ElBaradei has been considering a run for the presidency for a year at least, as this video shows.

A couple of other nuggets from the video:
  • 30% of Egyptians over the age of 10 are illiterate
  • 40% of Egyptians live below the poverty line
  • It is just about impossible for ElBaradei to run for the office under the rules of the constitution.
