How about urging religious freedoms in Saudi Arabia? You know, the capital of the Islamic empire that spawned the death cult that murdered Daniel Pearl?

Okay, so the obvious questions: How many billions, and which leftist news organizations will receive them?

Do these arrogant bastages who pass and sign this tripe think Egypt or Singapore is going to turn over a new leaf?
They would do well to look under their own desks.

It’s another Executive Edict. No power but decree.

Too bad he didn’t take questions from the press at the signing.

Of course, it goes without saying that if Obama signs a bill called “Freedom of the Press Act,” it must attack freedom of the press in some way.

“President Barack Obama has signed a law intended to provide more protections for a free press around the world. “
He has no authority to affect any protections of any kind , anywhere in the world except the USA. And not much authority here either.

"Too bad he didnt take questions from the press at the signing." How long has it been since this guy had a press event? It seems like it has been ages. This is especially surprising because for a while, it seemed like he was having them every other week.

Did they invite KSM to come watch, maybe say a few words?
Maybe he’s too busy getting ready for his trial, meeting with lawyers and such

The Pearl family must be so proud.. of Daniel.. but I question his name usage for such an award.. maybe it’s just me.

Normally I'd be all for this, but when Obama is involved I get suspicious.
How does he define "freedom"?
Is it anything like Holdren or current FCC chairman Genachowski?
