Morsimeter: we are watching you
A group of unidentified Egyptian activists have set up a Facebook page and website called morsimeter.com to monitor the performance of Egypt's president-elect Mohamed Morsi during his first 100 days in office.
The page, which already has over 20,000 'likes' on Facebook, will assess Morsi's adherence to 64 promises he made during his election campaign in the fields of bread, traffic, security, fuel and health.
Morsi vowed to implement the Muslim Brotherhood's Renaissance Project if elected president.
In his first post-victory speech on Sunday evening, Morsi said Egyptians should not obey him if he fails to stick to his campaign pledges.
"If I do not obey God and fail to fulfil my promises, do not obey me," he stated.
In addition, Morsi announced he would be stepping down as head of the Freedom and Justice Party before he takes office, in a move several revolutionary figures had demanded in return for supporting his election bid.

The convenient marriage between Iran and the Arab left would have been unthinkable only a few years ago, given the traditional ideological paradoxes between patriarchal Persian Shiism, on the one hand, and leftist orthodoxy on the other.Indeed, a casual viewer of Hizbullah's Al-Manar television, or the Iranian-funded Al-Mayadin TV, these days would probably think that the two Shia propaganda
