The most hideous question of the day came from Ed Henry yesterday.

Ready for this? 

Typical igorance about the 'sincere power' of the USA.

The question to the President of the USA was, "Do you believe in freedom or freedom that protects American interests?"

What he should have asked was, "Mr. President, do you feel the shift in government in Egypt is a threat to USA interests in the region?"

That is what the question should have been, but, typical of the arrogance of Americans Henry actually thought there was a CHOICE inthe type of freedom the USA can offer to other countries that are allies.

That is what is so outrageous about many of the points of view of the Right Wing when they put 'their arrogance out there.'  They actually believe that 'Superpower' means we are in control of the entire structure of any international stability.  AND, to believe the USA has the right to demand everything work at the whim of 'USA interests.'

Amazing.

What is occurring in the Middle East is a 'movement.'  It is grassroots and it is not being directed by anyone except those involved seeking resolve to their 'frustrations' with their current methods of governments which governs without compassion.

Perhaps, Mr. Henry and the morons of that 'lean' Right should think of it this way.  With "W" in the White House was the USA in control of its interests on September 11, 2001?  Some 'truthers' would say yes.  What would Henry say?
