The Obama Administration plans to cut democracy promotion programs in Egypt starting this year. These programs are meant to help deter corruption within the government and to help ensure the accuracry of election results. This move is in stark contrast of the Bush Administration that in 2008 alone gave 45 million dollars in aid to Egypt to fund such programs. This move by the Obama administration comes right before the 2011 elections in Eygpt, and past elections have been accused being rigged.
