Well, I don't know much about Mubarak's right-hand-man, but I suppose it's guilt by association, eh?
I should append my original post by clarifying: I understand that a President in a parliamentary system is not the same as a President in the American or French style systems of government, but it's obvious Morsi has a lot of support among the people; whether that will affect his clout will be seen.
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, the election seems to be legit. Third-party watchdog groups were present in Egypt throughout the process and reported very low levels of funny business, so Morsi seems to have won fair and square. But on the other hand, I staunchly oppose religion mixing with politics, whether that religion be Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, or what have you. It is, of course, unrealistic to call for the complete and surgical separation of the two, but the overtness of a party named "The Muslim Brotherhood" causes me a lot of concern. I only hope that Egypt becomes a more stabilized nation that increases the standard of living for all citizens, regardless of creed.
