#1 Obama should have been there, but the President of the United States should not have.

Killer line. So Barry decided to be neither.

#2 The hypocritical press in the West hardly even showed us the cartoons for which the Charlie Hebdot cartoonists were murdered. In fact, those cartoons could not have been exhibited on just about university campus in the West; the cartoonists would have been hounded from those universities, and, in fact, in many countries could have faced charges of inciting hatred. It was a call to do, what? It was a call to do exactly nothing. The march was about nothing.

Sad, but true. Rampant PC has attempted to neuter our 1st Amendment and muzzle people. "Politically Correct" had its origins in the Stalinist USSR. The phrase referred to the "correct application" of Communist "dogma--whatever that meant. Primarily it meant government apparachiks applying it as a political weapon against enemies and for control of the people. Probably, not much will happen as the result of the demonstrations. Kind of like the celebrity event "We Are the World" in the 1980s.
