And YA thing that vanishes into the whirlwind of Egypt…

Obama Struggles To Find Effective Egypt Policy : NPR

President Obama, who often talks about free speech and human rights, has cancelled joint military exercises with Egypt but has stopped short of cutting off aid to the Egyptian military. As the violence continues in the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian cities, all sides seem unhappy with the U.S. approach.

…is, not to put too fine a point on it, the Secretary of State — although "the Obama administration" is mentioned in its lead, nowhere in this article does the name "Kerry" appear (Search key saves a lot of pretty dull, pretty unnecessary reading). 

Also, in passing, waving the peace prize is an easy rhetorical gambit — I get that — but it's been old for at least a week.
