Damn..... After 6 years, I finally found one thing on which I agree with the meat-head.

geez....did he actually have a straight face when he said that?
He's certainly not one to capitulate even before the threat is clear and present, is he?

This coward would have done the exact opposite. Who’s he trying to kid?

We cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States," he continued. "Because if somebody is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they start doing when they see a documentary they don't like. Or news reports they don't like. Or even worse, imagine if producers and distributors and others start engaging in self-censorship because they don't want to offend the sensibilities of someone whose sensibilities probably need to be offended. That's not who we are. That's what America is about." LOL!
Two words: Benghazi Video.

The president like the media is not seeing reality.
Reality is that Sony is a Japanese company and the order to kill the movie likely came from Sony headquarters in Tokyo
Sony USA was chosen as an easy target for the North Korean shot at Japan that is getting tons of media exposure. The theft of stuff from say Toshiba would have gone pretty much unnoticed by the press

Dictator envy on his part. Maybe he is upset that there may have been an actual act of violence averted that he could use for endless TV time.

Note: he said that but did not suggest any action that he would take to punish the NK’s.

I’m betting that he told them not to release it....smells like Benghazi...
To: Din Maker
Obama continued. "I wish they had spoken to me first. I would have told them, 'Do not get into a pattern in which you're intimidated by these kinds of criminal attacks.'" -Yeah, right.
[Sony Pictures CEO Michael] Lynton reacted to Obamas comment that he wished Sony had reached out to them. We definitely spoke to a senior advisor in the White House to talk about the situation. The fact is, did we talk to the president himself?
The White House was certainly aware of the situation.

censorship.....just don’t say the “n” word...or say that Islam is a murderous cult....or that faggery is not a good thing.....

And so he traded Bergdahl...a known deserter for 4 monsters.

President Obama: Sony made a mistake when they pulled "The Interview"It's not like Sony could arrange a "bowing" tour in Nork-land.

I don’t buy any of this. Its another contrived crisis that can only be solved by more government and played right into Obama and Sharpton’s hands perfectly.

So how about Paramount banning Team America from being played again as part of the same threat from North Korea?
IMHO, this has as much of a Obama controlled CIA smell to it as NK.
