It is interesting listening to the Egyptian lady report from Libya on UP WITH CHRIS. She

points out that the hyped up scenes that we are viewing of protestors is really a very small group. She talks about how their media and our media seem to exaggerate the situations and that the people protesting are very fragmented. There are only about five hundred in a place where there are millions of people who continue to go about their normal lives. After that she is still being questioned as though there is this major underlying reason. She also pointed out that the people have not even seen the movie. It is personal to us because we have lost four very valuable lives.

And they are kids throwing rocks... not exactly an uprising.

But turn on Faux News... it's Obama's Fault™.

The RWer on the panel was typically blaming Obama for everything and said that, "All hell has broken out in the Middle East." Hayes interrupted him right away and said that is not true. All hell has not broken out, it's a small group of protesters.

"All hell in the Middle East" was shock and awe, invading and occupying Iraq, resulting in thousands of American dead and maybe a million Iraqis. That's hell.

The exaggerations are another way of undermining Obama.
