Hmmm, kinda sounds like the US nowadays. People criticize the press for being too adoring of him, and while I think there are some who are adoring, I think there are others who are afraid. At least it’s a little more upfront in Egypt.

I'll bet the Islamists in Egypt and Obama supporters in the United States don't even see the irony.

How long before it is illegal for us citizens to badmouth not only Obama but any other foreign dictator/thug ? I know now, you can be financially punished for badmouthing Obama like lose your job for example.
