Bahrain's Pro-Government Press on "Ayatollah Obama"

If you thought the US had been a bit too restrained in its comments on Bahrain's suppression of protests, the pro-government Bahraini media don't think so; instead they're denouncing  "Ayatollah Obama" and the dangers of the staunch US-Iranian-Hizbullah alliance.

It would be amusing if so much were not at stake.
