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."

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?

"Does anyone still believe that the emperor has clothes?"

All those otherleftards clowns who don't have any clothes either - and know it.

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?

Does anyone know whether he allowed the cadets to have swords this time? Last year he felt it was a security risk to have West Point graduates around him with swords. Obama is the first president to have said that.

Clicked on the link and went first to the now standard commercial entry page with this thought of the day posted above -
"Guard against the postures of pretended patriotism."
-George Washington
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
