As tens of thousands of anti-government protestors take to the streets in Egypt, how will reaction from the US affect the way Egyptian authorities react to the crisis? Also, the Congressional Budget Office is projecting a record deficit of $1.5 trillion, nearly half a billion dollars higher than its previous estimate. Whose negligence and recklessness led to the 2008 financial meltdown? There's a new round of finger pointing in Thursday's 633-page report on the crisis.  Finally, the take-away from Tuesday's State of the Union address.
