Obama: Iran vs. Egypt vs. America

Obama's policies:

On Iran, an anti-american, muslim fundamentalist government and the 2009 protests for democracy:
Mr Obama said he believed Iranian voices should be heard, although he added that he did not want to be seen to be "meddling".
On pro-american, pro-capitalism TEA party protests that swept America throughout 2009 and 2010:
President Barack Obama said Thursday he’s amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.
On Egypt's pro-American, secular government and the 2011 protests:
We believe that the universal rights of the Egyptian people must be respected, and their aspirations must be met. We believe that this transition must immediately demonstrate irreversible political change, and a negotiated path to democracy.
What is one to make of these differences in opinion?
