President Obama today signed into law The Daniel Pearl Freedom of Press Act, which expands efforts to identify countries that don’t share our love for the First Amendment. He also took time to honor the man the bill is named after, journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic extremists in 2002 in what the President — with nary a teleprompter in sight — called a moment that ‘captured the world’s imagination.’ The Obama administration has pushed to have Pearl’s professed killer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, tried in civilian court.

A very, very odd choice of words. Not too farfetched to read admiration into it.
There’s been several video beheadings in the media, but Danny is remembered. I guess that time it was “one of them”.
He sure underscored that blase attitude with "and, uhhhhh, there ya go!" Which sounded a lot like "OK I signed the stupid thing and gave you some pens what the hell more do you want from me?"
You've got that right.

My friend visited the Harvard campus recently with her kids, just to show them the campus. She said she saw no white students and the Muslim call to prayer was ringing or whatever it does- throughout the campus. Doesn’t sound like much of an American college to me anymore.
The usurper-in-chief is talking to his muslim brothers, telling them to continue. With his remarks, Obama is further polarizing us against muslims, hoping to generate a conflict so he and his can more easily identify the “enemy” within (that’s us), while giving the “thumbs-up” to his islamic brethren. He also seems to be giving the “OK” to his leftist cronies and supporters that it is alright to do horrible things, as long as one feels right in his own heart.
This will not end well.
