Chris Hayes said it on Bill Maher last night. [View all]

The RWer on the panel was typically blaming everything on Obama, saying that "All hell has broken out in the Middle East."

Chris interrupted him right away and said that is not true."All hell has not broken out in the Middle East. It's small groups of protesters. What was real hell was "Shock and Awe", invasion and occupation of Iraq resulting in thousands of American dead and maybe a million Iraqis. That's hell."

The exaggerations in the media are another way of undermining President Obama.
