Rising Hegemon
Naturally, people have missed the point of Obama's rather ambivalent treatment of the Egyptian government by saying they were neither an ally nor enemy -- contrasted to how he treated the government of Libya.
Well, the fact of the matter is the Libyan government immediately condemned and took action to arrest people (granted it may have "round up the usual suspects" aspect). Egypt's government on the other hand did neither.
Until Obama spoke to the Egyptian President when the latter got wind of the interview.

egypt is closer to israel.
you don't really expect the rethugs or tea partiers to actually UNDERSTAND either diplomacy or actual treaties, do you?
