during interview w/ 60 minutes, he said Egypt was not an ally,, not a friend. This caused in the dilomatic world a furor over the policy change the O-man was alluding too....but no,, the next day, the O-man had to 'walk back' that statement and only acknowledge the US-Egypt relationship was 'growing', there is no 'change'........guess he statement came back to haunt him.
