In Jordan, the real power, authority, decision making-name it whatever you like- rests in the hands of King Abdulla II. the King goes through premiers as if they were...let's say gum! as Bart Simpson would say: flavor's gone...tfoo. flavor's gone...tfoo. (here at 9:00). see, Prime Ministers in Jordan serve one purpose only. their job is to absorb negativity from the public. any anger, dissatisfaction, and/or disapproval is directed at the government. when the barometer hits a certain level, a knight riding a white horse appears through the thickening fog in slow motion and rescues the victim, makes a scapegoat of the premier, and appoints a new government...Lather, Rinse, and Repeat!
I am not saying this to vindicate Al Rifai of all wrong doings. although accepting the position in the first place is a sin on it's own, there must be another reward waiting, or being reaped as we speak. after all, who would want to be vilified for free?!
therefore, it's pointless to demand change in Jordan by overthrowing a government. Al Rifai's government is the eighth since King Abdulla II assumed power in 1999. during the past 10-11 years, living conditions in the kingdom have deteriorated. I don't have numbers to give you, but ask around and people will tell you "انا ما إلي بالسياسة"
Support for mab3oos comes from Jordan Dubai Capital.
we swear that Jordan's next prime minster will be a veteran politician. (سياسي مخضرم)

lol. And you admit the support :P
I agree with you and people agree as well. Jordanians know that the gov isn't everything but they're just in denial, or more likely too scared to admit it publicly. The guy up there knows that as well, he's definitely getting the message. Thus the many visits to the poor, the donations we're seeing these past two days and a phone call made to JTV also proves he's sensing the tension in the streets, and he's seeking to ease it.
Anyway, we wish our country the best.

كل وؤساء الحكومات مماسح عشان الشعب بدل ما يسب عال.... بسب عليهم
المصيبة انه الإعلام بوصللنا مسج انه ولا رئيس حكومة بفهم عالملك شو بدو... ما الملك اللي بعينهم كيف ما بفهمو عليه؟ و بالنهاية اللي بعين هو اللي المفروض يتحاسب
First, I am struggling to see the purpose of your effort to detail the Jordanian Royal family tree. What purpose does it serve, other than a pretence of intelligence? Are you trying to demonstrate that Jordan is a recently created entity? If so, then again, what’s your point? Your rant reads typical of an Arab harping back to a mythical “Arab Nation” that only ever existed in the mind of petty little revisionist historians. If you wish to debate “Arab” history, then I am more than willing to partake; however, if your intention is to belittle and discredit the country by attacking His Majesty, then, for the third time, what is your point. Everyone is aware that Jordan was created in 1946, but does that make it any more or less legitimate? Why is it that everyone around the world continues with their life yet Arabs like you aren’t able to move on to a better future. So, one final time: what is your point?
Second, you witter on and on about the number of prime ministers that have been appointed. Again, what is your point? Is it just an aimless rant and puffing of your rooster chest in an attempt to distinguish yourself? So let’s start from the beginning:
Jordan is a monarchy. It has never pretended to be anything else. His Majesty appoints the prime minister to carry out the day-to-day running of the country. If the prime minister is unable to do so then he is removed and another, more capable, civil servant is appointed. I don’t see what the issue is here. I suppose you are comparing Jordan to those great and benevolent democracies that litter the Middle East. Ah, yes, how we hark for the peace, freedom and prosperity of Syria, Libya, Egypt, etc.
Finally, you boldly state that the standard of living has continuously deteriorated, adding that you do not have numbers. The reason you don’t have numbers is quite simply because it is a fabrication of your fertile, yet imprisoned and embittered imagination. Quite frankly you will probably find that statistically the standard of living in Jordan has improved dramatically, as its political stability makes it very attractive to foreign investors. The country’s GDP per capita is $5,300. Compare this to Syria at $4,800 and Egypt at $6,200, both of which have significant natural resources. So the country’s leader is doing what he can in a very trying environment.
God Bless Jordan and Its leadership.

"The country’s GDP per capita is $5,300. Compare this to Syria at $4,800 and Egypt at $6,200..."
