# America Ferrera’s Ignorance of America

**Ugly Betty’s** **America Ferrera** showed once again that _Hollywood celebrities should shut up when it comes to politics_. She had this comment that I assume was a jab at President Bush, yet is seems to make little since.

Here is what she had to say in her exchange with **Zach Braff** at the ‘Spirit Awards’:

In the scripted exchange, Braff asked: “So do you think that you have any traits in common with the country that is your namesake?” Ferrera replied: “I guess I’m a free-spirited person and America’s supposedly the ‘land of the free,’ right?” She then added, to loud applause from the left coast film industry audience: “Or at least we will be in 2008.”

Free in 2008? She is trying to reference when **President Bush** leaves office, but he actually leaves in January of 2009. I also don’t get the reference to not being free at the moment? I sure live a free life in a free country. Perhaps if I was in Iraq, Iran or North Korea I would feel different, but we can all do more than we need to in the USA. Just ask **Antonella Barba** or **Britney Spears** about their lack of freedom. Maybe America should change her name to Darfur Ferrera, North Korea Ferrera or something along those lines.
