I think that's a nobrainer. The reports yesterday were already that the White house threatened to yank the 1.5B in yearly aid if Mubarak cracked down too hard...
I'd wager that Obama would rather see Mubarak stay in power with deep concessions. Last thing we need is a country the size of Egypt to completely fall apart...I don't think there's a large enough radical presence to assert much power, but you'd certainly see the chess pieces in the region start to move around.
