Even given Obama’s ever more terrifying and lethal performance in office, his comments about the jihadi murder of Daniel Pearl, and in front of Daniel’s bereaved family, are simply astounding. This is what Obama said:
‘Obviously, the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination because it reminded us of how valuable a free press is.’
Daniel Pearl was not murdered because he was a journalist. He was decapitated because he was an American Jew. Khalid Sheikh Mohamed cut off his head in an act of unimaginable barbarism, which was videoed in order to incite other Muslims to similar acts of barbarism and to destroy the will of the west to defend itself. But in signing the Daniel Pearl Press Freedom Act, Obama came up with the remarkable statement that the significance of Daniel Pearl’s murder was merely that
it reminded us of how valuable a free press is.
Any decent and rational person would think that the significance of Daniel Pearl’s murder was actually that the west is up against a psychopathic death cult which has a particular aim of killing Jews and destroying America. But not the American President. In front of the Pearl family, Obama couldn’t even bring himself to say Daniel was murdered. And ‘one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination’??

To 0bama, it means not a damned thing!
“This is what Obama said: ‘Obviously, the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination”
“Imagination”? No, I believe the world was captured in reality. However, in obama’s world, it is all a magical ride.
I saw the video. I didn’t imagine it, and it sure didn’t CAPTURE MY IMAGINATION.
It made me sick. :*(
Prayers for Daniel’s family. To be so disrespected to their face must have been like rubbing salt in their wounds over the loss of their loved one. :*(
Narcissistic personality disorder.
Everything the Fuhrer does turns to feces. He’s a national disgrace along with his cohorts in Congress. Everyone I talk to is disgusted with all of them.
Hey, he’s only reading what they put on the TelePrompTer.
Nada, zip, zero, bupkiss, nichevo, nichts.....
And they say Bush is dumb?!
Strictly speaking, it captured the “imagination” of the jihadis who
strive to destroy Israel and kill us daily.
I wonder what it means to the 78% of American (liberal) Jews who voted for Hussein and still love him. Their hero supports people who enjoy killing Jews.
It means a victory for his brothers in islame. Nothing more, nothing less.
But he’s willing to sping it for his Geobelesque LSM’s advantage. That’s all he’s doing here.
Sry, Goebelseque...
Melanie Phillips quoting Mark Steyn is a lethal combination. But really, “captured the world’s imagination” is simply astounding, as if getting one’s head cut off with a dull blade is the equivalent of snagging Best Picture at Cannes. The real tragedy is that one has come not to expect any better from the Sociopath In Chief.

I just watched the video.
Through the whole thing he is so calm and even somewhat bored-looking. He is filled with uhhhs and ehhhhs without the prompter, of course.
And with Daniel's little son standing inches from his face, he says that "the LOSS of Daniel Pearl..." (it was a MURDER, and I think even the child can hear that!!! He was not missing in action! He was MURDERED!) "..captured the world's imagination" I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HE SAID THAT!!
"... because it reminded us, ehhh, uhhh, of how valuable,,, uh,,, a free press is..."
WHEN YOU HEARD OF DANIEL PEARL'S MURDER, is that what you were thinking??? WHen you saw the video (if you did), were you thinking AHHH, A FREE PRESS IS VALUABLE????????
It's like he was told to speak for 2 minutes and connect Daniel Pearl's murder to the necessity of a free press for the sake of this award or law or whatever, and he went MINIMALIST on the connection.
"Bla bla, we 'lost' Daniel Pearl, imagination, new law, great press, bla bla bla, let's sign and go to lunch.."
Daniel Pearl's extremely brutal murder was the asterisk on 911, to make us completely understand who our enemy was and what its intentions were. Our President does not understand this. We are without a leader.
Really?! And here I thought it was just being an idiot. ( ^: }
I saw the picture of this scene with Mr Pearl, Daniel’s father. His look said everything. The disdain fro Obozo was soooo clear.
Yes, it's very possible. Obama displays it on a regular basis in many different ways
I just prefer to call it evil
wow... could this be a view into his thoughts about the murder of Daniel Pearl. Captured the imagination???? only if you’re a Muslim I say.
