What has BO dadvice on relationshipse or not done about the uprising in Egypt that differs from what GWB would have done?

The pronouncements of both Hillary and BO have endorsed the democratic freedoms of GWB. The acknowledging of Mubarak as a long term friend of the US and urging him to refrain from violence in dealing with Egyptians is consistent with ‘Real Politk’ of Henry Kissinger.

There is much to criticize concerning Foreign Policy (or lack thereof) under BO, but so far Egypt in January 2011 ia nor one of them. Relying on the relationships between American and Egyptian professional military, intelligence, and foreign affairs officers to keep militant Islam in check is a good bet.
