Superman-Truth, Justice, and wtf

I really enjoyed the newest Superman movie. The effects were great, the story worked, my kids sat through it without fussing -- A thumbs-up from this critic.

However -- Why was it so hard for Perry White to say the traditional tag line of Superman standing for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way"? Instead, the viewer gets "Truth, Justice, and all that other stuff". What is wrong with the American Way? Is Hollywood scared of Liberal backwash.

Would Superman become the bad guy if he happened to behave like most Americans? Superman is selfless and does the right thing. He protects the innocent from evil doers. He can becuase he is the most powerful man on the planet. Our Nation is the most powerful nation on the planet. It is our duty as a nation to stand-up and protect those who cannot protect themselves.

If Spiderman can keep "with great power comes great responsability", I do not understand why Superman can't still represent --
Truth, Justice, and the American Way!
