Liberal financier George Soros said in an interview aired Sunday that if President George W. Bush had still been in the White House instead of President Obama the Egypt revolution would have been violent.

"President Obama did an outstanding job," Soros said on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS." "Just imagine if Bush and Cheney would have been in charge. I don't think you would have had a peaceful revolution in Egypt."

"...President Obama sees it in terms of people asserting their right to be more in charge of the government," he added.

Soros said he believed that the regime in Iran will fall and that "Obama did actually there, also, a very good job by refusing to get involved and to be instigating regime change."
