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 worlds 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. :*(
Hey, he’s only reading what they put on the TelePrompTer.
Nada, zip, zero, bupkiss, nichevo, nichts.....
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.
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.
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.
He made it sound like Mr. Pearl was run over by a truck while on assignment in Afghanistan or something.
Disgraceful.
I feel so bad for Daniel Pearl’s family.
....”In fact, I suggest to whoever runs against Obama in 2012 put together a montage of three clips: This one, the “let’s not jump to conclusions and quick judgments” (Hasan Nidal of the Fort Hood killings) and his comments about the black college professor who was legally arrested by the white police officer. Beer Summit my arse.
Start running them in June 2012 and we’ll have a new President sworn in on 20 January, 2013. I wonder if their spin doctors are hiring?”
One more clip to add. The tepid reception he received at West Point. I wonder if any graduates turned their backs to the podium when he was introduced? This loser needs to go back to Kenya!
Anybody that saw Obama’s dreadful performance and still doesn’t see what an incredibility despicable person he is, and that he is an enemy of all that is good and right, is just blind.
I have a question for those who did see it. Was Daniel Pearl alive as he was being decapitated? Or did this happen when he was already dead? I just can't fathom that someone can actually saw off someone's head while they are still alive. Please tell me it isn't so.

Just attempting to contemplate the alleged thought processes going through this teleprompter clown’s head is an exercise in surrealism.
How about a “shout out” to Khalid Shaikh Mohammad next time?
The man doesn’t seem human.
