| Steyn- One of Those Moments |
| 2010-05-22 |
| The president has become the latest Western liberal to try to hammer Daniel Pearl's box into a round hole. Barack Obama's remarkable powers of oratory are well known: In support of Chicago's Olympic bid, he flew into Copenhagen to give a heartwarming speech about himself, and they gave the games to Rio. He flew into Boston to support Martha Coakley's bid for the U.S. Senate, and Massachusetts voters gave Ted Kennedy's seat to a Republican. In the first year of his presidency, he gave a gazillion speeches on health-care "reform" and drove support for his proposals to basement level, leaving Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to ram it down the throats of the American people through sheer parliamentary muscle. Like a lot of guys who've been told they're brilliant one time too often, President Obama gets a little lazy, and doesn't always choose his words with care. And so it was that he came to say a few words about Daniel Pearl, upon signing the "Daniel Pearl Press Freedom Act." |

| #5 The best quote about Obama that I've seen is "the new clothes have no Emperor" |

| #4 Obviously, the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world's imagination What, he went hiking in an area where Bigfoot was reported and has gone missing? But surely there are many others, mostly non-Jewish, to take his place, right, Mr. President? |

| #1 The man is retarded. Pearl died for the sake of "press freedom"? His beheading was a "loss" that united people in a magic "moment" which "captured the world's imagination"? I don't get it. Why is this foolish, absurd little man considered to be of superior intelligence? Does anyone still believe that the emperor has clothes? |
