Shut up your mouse, Obama was an Internet meme during 2014 Egyptian presidential election, in which a supporter of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, an unknown Egyptian woman named Mona al-Beheiri expresses her dissent, in a broken English and heavy Egyptian accent, over United States President Barack Obama's approach to el-Sisi and Egypt:[1]
"Listen your Obama. We are Egyptian women. You are listen Obama!? Shut up your mouse Obama! Shut up your mouse Obama!! SISI YES, SISI YES! MORSI NO, MORSI NO!"
Following this short interview, Mona al-Beheiri became a well known persona, not only in Egypt but throughout the whole Arab world, and the video became viral, as did remixes if it, and was called the 'Middle East's Joe the Plumber moment'.[2] She was interviewed by many Arab news outlets, and appeared on talk shows. T-shirts with either her image or "Shut up your mouse, Obama" quote are being sold in the stores and markets all over the Arab world.[1] In addition, she was invited to the Arab Media Forum in Dubai, as an example of a social media phenomenon.[3]
