President Obama touches down in Cairo

President Obama has arrived in Cairo and is meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal, the pool reporter for this portion of the trip, said Air Force One landed in Cairo at 9:04 a.m. local time (the press plane touched down earlier) and arrived at Qubba Palace about 9:27 a.m. Meanwhile, the auditorium at Cairo University is filling up as guests make their way through an elaborate security system, and the loudspeakers just began blaring Middle Eastern music. It's 3:20 a.m. on the East Coast for anyone keeping track. More to come.....
