I’m Glad Obama Skipped Paris He doesn’t really believe in protecting speech critical of Islam.
nationalreview.com ^ | 1/13/15 | Andrew C McCarthy

.....I was not outraged when President Obama directed the Justice Department to end the pretense of “defending” the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). I feel the same way about the president’s decision not to join dozens of world leaders in Paris last Sunday to march in favor of free speech and against Islamic-supremacist terror....

...it is better to know where policymakers really stand...

The show of international solidarity in the immediate aftermath of last week’s jihadist atrocities was very moving. But let’s not kid ourselves: It was rife with hypocrisy....

Prior to last week, these preening progressives could reliably be found appeasing Islamists....

....if the Obama administration had its druthers, it would be illegal to publish the anti-Muslim satire featured in Charlie Hebdo...

....Mrs. Clinton also endorsed the use of coercion to punish expressions of “Islamophobia” — as she put it, “old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming.” What better way to circumvent such inconveniences as the First Amendment?

McCarthy's point is that Obama doesn't give a damn about freedom of speech.

He details how Team Obama (and Hitlery) have joined with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to pressure nations (including the USA) to pass laws forbidding any speech that will incite hostility to Islam.

Besides, he would have made an ass of himself again. Grinning, waving, and taking selfies. He’s a national embarrassment.

In his [/s] book “the audacity of hope” (which I think was really written by terrorist billy ayres, even ayres says he wrote it) it says something like this: “if the winds blow in a bad direction, I will side with islam”. Even though I don’t believe he wrote this, I think it expresses his belief. And he is holding true.

Obama doesn’t belong with world leaders. He isn’t one!

The magazine was more than critical of Islam. It was many times just plain vile. It is not really about protecting speech so much as it is about standing against terrorism. Zero should have been there because the U.S. has so many times been the ones needing the support of the world against terrorists. We should have been quick to respond.

International embarrassment. Other countries are just as embarrassed by his arrival as we are.

He doesn’t believe in free speech, correct. But he doesn’t have the power to come out in public and announce it. Neither does Holder or any of the rest of these cowards.

Barry didn’t like the changing wind over there that did not favor his preferred islamo-nazism.

Obama’s “gift” is projecting what people want to hear from him. Obama said, “The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander The Prophet Of Islam.” Charlie Hebdo insulted the Prophet and Obama was absent in a show of support. Why is consistency so hard to understand?
