Very little. The key will be any difference between what was SAID and what is DONE. Supporting discriminatory hiring practices, funding missionary work, blindly supporting religiously-based hurtful or worthless programs (like the millions wasted on abstinence-only education) - this is what marred the Bush implementation of the program. If Obama (or McCain for that matter) can address those issues (and I'm not at all sure that they can) then great - carry on with my blessing. Bush has at best ignored the problems and at worst actively defended them. If the program can't be made to function well legally and financially, then it deserves to go - I would think that any conservatively minded person would agree with that.
