Newly elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy gave his first speech, promising to be a president to all Egyptians, "Muslims, Christians, the elderly, children, women, men, farmers, teachers, workers, those who work in the private and public sectors, and the merchants."

US President Barack Obama called Morsy on Sunday to congratulate him on his victory.

According to a White House statement, Obama underscored that the US will continue to support Egypt’s transition to democracy and stand by the Egyptian people as they fulfill the promise of their revolution.

He emphasized his interest in working together with Morsy, on the basis of mutual respect, to advance the many shared interests between Egypt and the United States.

Morsy welcomed Obama's support and the two leaders affirmed their commitment to advancing the US-Egypt partnership and agreed to stay in close touch in the weeks and months ahead, according to the statement.

What else is he going to do. Stand in the white and shake his finger? "You bad popularly elected president of a country whose oppressive dictator we supported for many years. You should give power back to the military council who seized it after selfsame dictator was removed from power. Bad muslim." Sure, that would send precisely the right message.

Even if Obama doesn't like the MB he still has to support free elections in countries, otherwise... well he looks bad.
