Egypt President Hosni Mubarak’s speech angered the protesters who are willing to hear news of Mubarak’s step down from president ship. After the live telecast of his speech the protesters are not happy with his decision to delegate some powers, but stay on in office.  Mubarak told the people of Egypt he will begin to transfer his powers to his vice president Omar Suleiman but did not explicitly state he is stepping down.
