Obama's message to the Egyptian people should be this:
We are with you; you are the change; Mubarak should step down immediately; a national unity government, made up of opposition leaders, should take charge now to establish democratic elections within 6 months - for Parliament (under proportional representation) and for a President with limited powers, powers to be shared with Parliament. Easy.

Egypt - the Revolution is televised, tweeted, blogged

the people
want
the end of the system
Egyptians want Mubarak's regime to end.
They have achieved what they want - the system is indeed over, ended. Mubarak simply doesn't get it. He hasn't left yet - but he is history, he is done, "game over" as so many signs in Tahrir Square are calling for. His game is indeed over.
Not only does he not get it, Obama & Co. seem not to get it either - or if they do get it, they continue to offend the Egyptian people (al-sha3b) by not pushing Mubarak out the door or calling on him to leave.
