This brief analyzes discourse on Egyptian social networks and their discussion of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi's announced 64-goal program 100-day program. A student-created quantitative mechanism called the 'MorsiMeter' was developed to account for his performance. The author argues that the 100-day program and the 'MorsiMeter' reflect the complex approach embodied by the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt: it is possible to live with contradictions and benefit from all worlds. While the president stresses the three meta-goals of the new regime – social justice, economic development and national security and stability; on the other hand, the 100-day program ignores advancement of these meta-goals.
